Substance Use & Gambling Surveys School Surveys

Statewide school surveys are conducted biennially by TCADA's Needs Assessment Department. Since the award-winning school project began in 1988, 64 percent of the school districts in Texas have participated and about 2.4 million students have filled out survey forms. The survey covers not only prevalence of substance use, but also other factors affecting youthful substance use and the students' attitudes toward substance use.
