Who takes the survey?

The Middlesex League Youth Risk and Behaviors Survey is a cross-sectional biennial survey of middle and high school students (grades 6-12) from the 12 school districts comprising the Middlesex League. All schools in the district were eligible to participate.

Superintendents from the 12 school districts of the Middlesex League participated in introductory calls with John Snow, Inc. (JSI) to determine their participation in the collaborative survey effort this year.

For the 2019 survey year, JSI worked with 11 school districts (Arlington, Belmont, Burlington, Melrose, Reading Stoneham, Wakefield, Watertown, Wilmington, Winchester, and Woburn) to administer the survey, collect and analyze data, and write reports of the findings. One school district was unable to participate.
