Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey

Every two years, the middle & high schoolers in Maine participate in the Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey.

The Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey (MIYHS) was first administered in 2009 and will be offered in February of odd-numbered years. The MIYHS is the result of collaboration between the Maine Department of Health and Human Services and the Maine Department of Education. Its purpose is to quantify the health of Kindergarten and Grade 3 students through parent interviews, and the health-related behaviors and attitudes of 5th through 12th graders by direct student survey.

Below is a report that evaluates the trends of that report for Sagadahoc County youth over the past 6 years.
