Surveys to asses youth substance use and related behaviors or perceptions are conducted on a regular basis with students in grades 7-12.  Data collected from these surveys, in conjunction with other community-driven data, is used to help guide the work of Somers Comes Together.  It is important to note that, while these surveys are administered to youth in the schools in order to ensure a representative sample and reliable data, the findings of these reports are not reflective of the schools, but are intended to reflect the greater community of Somers.
