INTRODUCTION
This is a report of key ndings from the Oregon Student Wellness Survey, a survey of 6th, 8th and 11th grade youth, conducted in the spring of 2012. The Oregon Student Wellness Survey is an anonymous and voluntary survey sponsored by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Education. OHA contracted with International Survey Associates to recruit schools, administer the survey and report survey results. The survey was available free of charge to all Oregon schools that chose to participate including public, charter and private. Schools that agreed to participate in the Oregon Student Wellness Survey were given the option of administering the survey either online or by paper and pencil with the schools determining which method would be best for their particular circumstances. The Oregon Student Wellness Survey was designed to assess a wide range of topics that included school climate, positive youth development, mental health, substance use, problem gambling, ghting and other problem behaviors. In addition the survey collected information about risk and protective factors that are inuential in healthy youth development and student success. Oregon Student Wellness Survey results are used by schools, state and local agencies, organizations and communities to assess and monitor the health and well being of Oregon youth and the environments in which they live. Oregon Student Wellness Survey data can serve as a valuable tool for program planning, implementation, and evaluation. The data are essential information for communications with legislators and the public, and communities and local agencies will nd the data improves their ability to procure funding by providing the baseline data needed for grant writing. In these ways, schools, communities and policy makers will nd themselves poised to make eective decisions about behavior and health policies, services, programs and educational activities. The Oregon Student Wellness Survey was designed as a split survey. The 6th and 8th grade version of the survey consisted of a subset of the questions found on the 11th grade versions. In order to provide results that spanned all grade levels in a single report, the data for questions that did not appear on the 6th and 8th grade version appear in this report as missing.
This report is divided into topic specic sections. Each section provides a brief overview of the topic, followed by summary data tables that include results for all three grades and compares local data to that of the state. The state data for this report has been weighted based on enrollment numbers. The county data in this report has also been weighted. Your questions, concerns and comments are invited.

SCHOOL CLIMATE
2.1
Supportive Atmosphere
School climate is an important issue to parents, administrators and the community. The environment within a school directly impacts students academic, social, emotional and mental states. Respectful, supportive relationships among students, teachers and parents are fundamental. When students have opportunities to collaborate and share a sense of purpose and ideals, students, faculty and sta look forward to school. When students are attached to school and to teachers and prosocial peers, they are more likely to behave in prosocial ways themselves, and to avoid engaging in high-risk behaviors. There is strong evidence that the learning environment inuences student attachment to school. Classroom and school interventions that make the learning environment safer, more caring, better managed and highly participatory and that enhance students social competence have been shown to increase student attachment to school. A comprehensive assessment of school climate involves input from students, faculty and sta on a wide range of topics. The data collected with the Oregon Student Wellness Survey deals exclusively with the student perception aspect of school climate. It provides an assessment of whether students feel they belong, are valued and physically and emotionally safe at school.
In supportive atmospheres students feel more comfortable approaching and interacting with teachers and peers, thereby strengthening their relationships. The table below reports the percentage of students that agree with the following statements.
Table 5: Supportive Atmosphere
Grade 6 County State My teachers notice when I am doing a good job and let me know about it. I can talk to my teachers openly and freely about my concerns. In my school, teachers treat students with respect. Most students at my school help each other when they are hurt or upset. In my school, students that work hard to get good grades are picked on by other students. 79.6 80.6

Attachment to School
This table show the percentage of students that say...
Students who like school, feel their assignments are important, and that what they are learning in school will be valuable to them later in life, are better prepared to make successful transitions after graduation. Young people who do not feel a part of society, are not bound by rules, dont believe in trying to be successful or responsible are at high risk of academic failure and developing mental, emotional or behavioral disorders.

Opportunities for Participation
When young people are given many opportunities to participate meaningfully in school activities that are important to them, they are less likely to engage in problem behaviors. When opportunities are available for positive participation outside of class, children are less likely to engage in substance use, and other problem behaviors. The table below shows the percentage of students that agree with the following statements about their school.
Table 9: Opportunities for Participation
Grade 6 County State I have lots of chances to be part of class discussions or activities. There are lots of chances for students in my school to get involved in sports, clubs, and other school activities outside of class. 90.2 90.5

Safe Environment
The following table shows the percentage of students that witnessed another student being harassed in school or on the school bus in the past year.
Students who are harassed, feel unsafe or otherwise victimized are more likely to cut classes, skip school, feel depressed or become involved in problem behaviors. Comprehensive discipline, positive behavior support and anti-bullying programs in schools have been shown to reduce the incidence of harassment.

Serious Problem Behaviors

POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
3.2
General Health
In 2006, a statewide benchmark of positive youth development (PYD) was established for 8th and 11th graders. High levels of positive youth development are strongly associated with healthy behaviors and student success. The benchmark looks at six components: emotional and mental health, physical health, feelings of competence, self-condence, support of a caring adult in school, and service to the community.
Two questions are asked as an assessment of student health.

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH
4.1
Psychological Distress
Good mental and emotional health makes it easier for youth to establish constructive interpersonal relationships, succeed in school and make a successful transition into the workforce. Depression and psychological distress can interfere with the development of positive teacher and peer relationships. Youth with depression or high levels of psychological distress may nd it dicult to focus on academics. They are more likely to smoke, drink alcohol or use other drugs and they are at increased risk of suicide. The Oregon Student Wellness Survey asks questions about emotional and mental health, depression, suicide thoughts and suicide attempts. The survey also asks a series of ve questions known as the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5). When responses for all ve are considered together, the result is an estimate of the level of psychological distress that youth are experiencing. MHI-5 scores range from ve to 30. Scores of 21 or higher are an indication that youth may be experiencing a mental health concern that requires further assessment.
This table shows the percentage of students with high levels of psychological distress during the past 30 days based on an MHI-5 score of 21 or higher.

PROBLEM GAMBLING
5.1
Types of Gambling
Students today are increasingly being exposed to gambling opportunities - on the Internet, in the community, at home and even at church - so its no surprise that problems associated with gambling are being seen in youth. Its generally not perceived nor treated as risky, yet research shows that youth who gamble are much more likely to engage in other risky behaviors such as drinking, smoking and using drugs and some of them will go on to develop serious gambling problems. The adolescent brain is developmentally inclined towards risk, minimal consideration of consequences, preference for stimulation and novelty, all of which gambling oers in abundance. The Oregon Student Wellness Survey asks a series of questions that address and measure various gambling activities. Students were asked questions regarding the types of gambling they participated in, their feelings about being involved in gambling and the degree to which parents and teachers have communicated to the students the risks involved in engaging in this particular activity. Gambling can be addictive, yet most youth and parents treat it as harmless entertainment. The following tables and charts contain data on gambling questions. These percentages are provided by grade level and statewide data are included for comparison purposes. For more information on youth gambling in Oregon, including more data and educational resources, go to www.problemgamblingprevention. org
Gambling involves betting anything of value (money, a watch, soda, etc.) on a game or event. The following table shows the percentage of students that participated in these types of gambling in the last 30 days.

Communication about the Risks of Gambling
Most youth dont have large sums of money to spend on gambling, so this measure must be looked at within that context. The fact that youth are spending any money on a potentially addictive behavior is of concern, and some youth spend signicant amounts on it. Even those who spend a small amount of money are still spending time and attention on gambling at the expense of other activities and responsibilities. By the time they get into college, where problem gambling rates are among the highest and the average college student gets 25 credit card solicitations a year, some youth have developed seemingly innocent gambling habits that will cost them dearly. The following table shows the percentage of 11th grade students that reported the following signs of problem gambling in the last 12 months. The last two questions (lied about/bet more) are based on a valid and reliable problem gambling screening instrument which has been used for many years; saying yes to either of these is highly correlated to a potential gambling problem and indicates a need for further assessment by a trained counselor.

SUBSTANCE USE
6.2
Substance Use in the Past 30 Days
During the elementary school years, most children express anti-drug, anti-crime and pro-social attitudes and have diculty imagining why people use drugs. However, in middle school, as more youth are exposed to others who use cigarettes, alcohol or other drugs, their attitudes often shift toward greater acceptance of these behaviors. Typically, by 11th grade, most students have tried alcohol, and many have tried marijuana, cigarettes or other tobacco products.
The table below provides the percentage of students that used one or more times in the past 30 days.

Norms About Alcohol Use
The table below provides the percentage of students that responded wrong or very wrong
Everybody s doing it! is a refrain commonly heard by parents and believed by far too many youth in Oregon. The Student Wellness Survey provides information about alcohol norms. A series of questions allow the comparison of actual alcoholrelated behaviors to what youth think most students are doing. Correcting misperceptions is essential to establishing new, healthy norms about underage drinking. The table below provides the percentage of students that responded one or more times in the past 30 days.
Table 27: Attitudes about Drinking

Factors Associated with Initiation of Substance Use

Parental Attitude toward Substance Use
This section reports on a variety of factors associated with initiation of substance use. Easy availability, attitudes about use, perceptions about the risk of harm from use and communication about substance use all inuence whether young people choose to use tobacco, alcohol or other drugs.
In families where parents are heavy users of alcohol, use illegal drugs or are tolerant of childrens use, adolescents are more likely to engage in substance use. The risk is further increased if parents involve children in their own using behavior such as asking the child to light the parents cigarette or get the parent a beer from the refrigerator. The Oregon Student Wellness Survey asks students about how their parents would feel if the student used alcohol, cigarettes or marijuana. The table below reports the percentage of students that said their parents feel it would be wrong or very wrong for youth to...
6.5
Availability
Adolescents that report easy availability of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and other illegal drugs are more likely to use these substances. Research has shown that legal restrictions on alcohol and tobacco use, such as raising the legal drinking age, restricting smoking in public, and increased taxation have been followed by decreases in consumption. The table below shows the percentage of students that said it would be easy or very easy for the student to...

DRUG FREE COMMUNITIES CORE MEASURES
7.1
30 Day Use
The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program, administered by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, requests specic data which are typically referred to as the Core Measures. Beginning in 2013 there will be a new set of Core Measures. The 2014 Student Wellness Survey will meet the new Core Measure requirements. This report reects the 2012 Core Measure requirements. At this time, grantees are required to report on three drug categories: tobacco, alcohol and marijuana. A number of Oregon DFCs focus on other substances, so this report also includes 30-day use data for binge drinking, prescription drugs, methamphetamines, and any illicit drugs other than marijuana. Data in the tables that follow are provided by grade level. For each drug, and at each grade level, the percentage of students who responded positively to the question and the number of students who responded to the question are reported. For Average Age of Onset, the average age of rst use in years and the number of students using is reported. The possible responses to this question range from 10 or under to 17 or older.

The 11th grade version of the Oregon Student Wellness Survey contains questions about height and weight. Information from these questions are broken down by sex rather than by grade. From these questions it is possible to calculate a Body Mass Index (BMI) and to classify students on a percentile rankings, based on previous CDC analysis, as being either underweight (less than 5th percentile), healthy weight (5th percentile to less than 85th percentile), overweight (85th to less than 95th percentile) or obese (greater than or equal to 95th percentile). This information is detailed in the following tables.

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLES

Table 46: What is your sex?
This section contains frequency distribution tables for all of the questions found on the 2012 Oregon Student Wellness Survey. Two versions of the survey were used, one for 6th and 8th grades and another for the 11th grade. The 6th and 8th grade survey consisted of a subset of the questions found on the 11th grade version. In order to provide results that spanned all grade levels in a single report, the data for questions that did not appear on the 6th and 8th grade version were coded as missing.
