Year: 2018 Grade: 8 Gender: All Number of Students Surveyed: 156

Prevalence is displayed with 95% confidence intervals (as ± or black bar |)*indicates a significant change from the previous year or a significant difference between state and local results, p<0.05

Washington HYS results generated at AskHYS.net on 03-28-2019

Missing codes: S = result suppressed due to insufficient reporting from students of schools; N/G = grade not available; N/S = question was not surveyed this year; N/A = question was not asked of this grade.

Background: Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death among youth. Motor vehicle crashes are the most common cause. Unintentional injuries are caused by behaviors such as drinking and driving, riding with a drinking driver, riding a bike or motorcycle without a helmet, or

not wearing a life jacket. Most unintentional injuries can be prevented. Alcohol and other substances impair one’s judgment and may contribute to injuries and even death.

Violent Behaviors and School Safety for College Place Middle School (Edmonds SD)





Background: Creating a supportive learning environment is critical for student academic achievement. Researchers have identified best practice programs that can address negative student behaviors and build positive school culture. School safety requires the commitment of staff, students, parents and the community. Washington schools are required to have a comprehensive school

safety plan that includes: prevention, intervention, all-hazards/crisis response, and post crisis recovery (RCW 28A.320.125). Schools referral systems that encourage students to report threats will help prevent violent incidents.

Community Risk Factors for College Place Middle School (Edmonds SD)





Background: Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) developed a public health model for the prevention of youth substance abuse. They identified risk factors that

predict youth substance use, and protective factors that can protect youth from the effects of those risks. Prevention strategies are designed to lower risk andincrease protection.

Each “factor” in the HYS is measured with two or more questions to include multiple dimensions of the risk or protective factor. The charts and tables below referto the “percent of students at risk,” which is defined as the percent of students whose scores were above a risk cutpoint determined by UW researchers. We alsoreport some of the individual questions.

Risk factors in the community environment point to youth perceptions of local attitudes, beliefs, and standards: if youth perceive people in the community lookthe other way when kids are using substances, the youth have a higher likelihood of being substance users – that is, they are ''at risk.''

For More Information: Parents, schools, and communities can work together to keep youth healthy and safe. To learn more go to the Start Talking Now website:

We also report some of the individual questions.

Risk factors in the school environment are those perceptions related to connection and commitment to school. Kids who are not doing wellacademically, or who don’t believe that school is important, are likely to feel less connected and less committed to school and likely to be those samekids who are experimenting with drugs, or having trouble with depression.

Researchers have identified best practice programs that can decrease risk factors and build supportive school culture.

Family Protective Influences for College Place Middle School (Edmonds SD)







Each “factor” in the HYS is measured with two or more questions to include multiple dimensions of the risk or protective factor. The charts and tablesbelow refer to the “percent of students protected,” which is defined as the percent of students whose scores were above a protection cutpoint determinedby UW researchers. We also report some of the individual questions.

Protective factors in the family environment are those that encourage positive participation in the family setting, and reward youth for that involvement.

For More Information: Parents, schools, and communities can work together to keep youth healthy and safe. To learn more about prevention coalitions in your area and how to

Weight and Obesity for College Place Middle School (Edmonds SD)





Background: Poor diet and physical inactivity are risk factors for obesity and overweight among youth. Youth who have fewer opportunities for physical activity and increased time spent in sedentary activities such as watching television and using computers

are more likely to be overweight. Factors that contribute to poor diet among youth include eating fewer meals at home, increased availability and affordability of unhealthy food, and

increased food portion sizes. To be successful in increasing healthy weight among youth; governments, communities and people need to work together to create environments that

support healthy diets and opportunities for physical activity.

Background: A nutritious diet can reduce major risk factors for chronic disease such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol. Poor nutrition has the potential to affect the growth, development, health status and academic achievement of children and adolescents. Individual food choices are made within the context of the family and the community. In order to be able to choose a nutritious diet, an affordable supply of health-promoting foods must be available.

Physical Activity for College Place Middle School (Edmonds SD)





Background: Regular physical activity reduces rates of obesity and serious diseases, helps people maintain a healthy body weight and improves quality of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children and adolescents participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily,

and muscle strengthening 3 days a week. One challenge to being more physically active is the amount of recreational screen time spent on sedentary activities such as watching TV, playing video

games, using a computer for fun, or cell phone usage. Many social and environmental factors influence the decision to be active. Successful strategies to promote physical activity include educating individuals

and developing policies in schools and communities to create environments that support being physically active.

For More Information: Visit the Washington State Healthy Eating Active Living Program website: www.doh.wa.gov. Visit the National Physical Activity Plan: www.physicalactivityplan.org. Visit CDC Physical activity guidelines: www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/guidelines/children.html. Note: DOH advocates using the CDC recommendations of 'at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily.'

BACKGROUND

Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventabledeath and disease in Washington.

Preventing youth initiation of tobacco and othernicotine use is critical to stem the tide oftobacco-related mortality, morbidity, and economiccosts.

Youth and young adults under age 18 are far more likelyto start using tobacco than adults; nearly 9 out of 10adults who smoke started by age 18.

104,000 Washington youth alive today will ultimately dieprematurely from smoking.

The emergence of vapor products (also calledelectronic cigarettes) has raised serious concern.Nicotine use can adversely affect brain development.

The effects of nicotine exposure during youth andyoung adulthood can be long-lasting and can includelower impulse control and mood disorders. The nicotinein vapor products can prime young brains for tobaccouse and addiction to other drugs.

cigarettes smokeless tobacco vapor products

Vapor products are the most common nicotine product used by youth.

Youth and young adults under age 18 are far more likely to start tobacco use than adults: 4 out of 5 smokersstarted during adolescence. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, there is a strong association between theuse of e-cigarettes, cigarettes, and the use of other burned tobacco products by young people.

The minimum age of purchase for tobacco and vapor products is 18, but youth can get these products from theirolder friends and classmates.

In 2016, Washington State passed a Vapor Products law, establishing a statewide licensing system and importantprotections to reduce illegal youth access to vapor products. This law applies to any vapor product, whether ornot it contains nicotine.

MORE INFORMATION... Through key partnerships, the Tobacco and Vapor Product Prevention and Control Program addresses youth access to

tobacco and the growth in the use of electronic cigarettes and vapor products in Washington State. Find out morehere: www.doh.wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/Tobacco

For help quitting tobacco and other nicotine use, teens can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to anonymously enroll in a free youthsupport program. They can also text “QUIT” to 202-804-9884 to enroll in a text message program for vaping cessation.
