OLYMPIA -- Washington middle and high school students are sharing information about their health this week in a statewide survey.
Kids in grades six, eight, 10 and 12 will answer questions about smoking, drugs and alcohol, exercise, nutrition and other health issues. The anonymous survey is given every two years. In 2006, 198,000 students participated across the state.
Local results will be sent to school districts next March. They will use the information to guide public health programs and education.
Statewide, the results are used to track young people’s health and whether education programs are working.
