Survey Content

The MSS questionnaires cover a wide range of topics, including demographics, substance use (alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, vaping and other drugs), health concerns (nutrition, fitness, health conditions and healthcare), behaviors related to both intentional and unintentional injuries, mental health, school climate, and risk and protective factors. These factors encompass community, school, peer, individual and family influences.

There are three age-appropriate questionnaires:
Level 1 = Elementary School
Level 2 = Middle School
Level 3 = High School

While schools and districts can opt-in to survey all grades 5-12, the MSS data are only publicly reported for grades 5, 8, 9 and 11.
