Over the past decade, communities have seen a decline in response rates to youth surveys.  This decline has been driven by multiple factors, including changes to laws governing parental consent and reduced support from parents and schools for data collection, in general.  Lower response rates create challenges for substance misuse prevention professionals and can impact assessment and planning efforts.

In this webinar, we will explore the uses of survey data and the importance of robust data to our substance misuse prevention work. A survey administration expert will provide insight into the importance of survey data and the impact of low response rates.  Community-based prevention professionals will share their successful approaches to increasing survey participation and building community buy-in.
