Where Does Our Data Come From?
• Our school currently uses the PRIDE
SURVEY
• The Pride Survey is conducted every two
years
• We currently have data from 01/2002 –
01/2012 to compare and show change
• We also have two years of the Attitude
and Behavior Survey for grades 6th, 7th
and 8th
Attitude and Behavior Survey
• The Developmental Asset framework
covers extensive territory, including
experiences of young people and
commitments, values, skills and identity.
• Search Institute’s research consistently
shows that youth with higher level of
Developmental Assets are involved in
fewer risk-taking behaviors and
experience higher levels of thriving
indicators.
40 Developmental Assets
The Search Institute has identified 40
Developmental Assets that protect youth from
substance abuse.
Some assets are internal and others are external.
We, as adults, parents, and friends can provide
some of these for youth.

6 Asset Based Principles
1. Strengths more than risks
2. Relationships more than programs
3. All adults and youth, not just
professionals and parents
6 Asset Based Principles
4. Engagement more than services
5. Unleashing, not controlling or directing
6. Long term, not a quick fix
This can best be
demonstrated through a
simple hands-on
illustration

Where are Kids Using?
• Overall youth report using
drugs at a friends house
more than any other place.
• 1/3 of high school students who use
marijuana reported using it in the car.
85% of students using marijuana reported getting very
high or bombed when using marijuana.
When Are Kids Using?
• For all types of drugs, youth reported that
they used on the weekends more than any
other time.
CONCLUSION: Know where your youth
is on the weekends and who they are
spending time with. Ask other parents
about their rules.
Local Data Identifies Other
Risk Factors for Youth

Be a Positive Influence in a
Child's Life
• Support: Show youth that they are loved
unconditionally
• Empower:Make it
clear that youth
are valued and valuable
for who they truly are.
• Encourage: Let youth know you believe
in them.
How have we demonstrated to
adults and community

positive influence?
