OHYES! Data Reports

The Ohio Healthy Youth Environments Survey (OHYES!) is a collaborative effort of the Ohio Departments of Education, Health and Mental Health and Addiction Services, Ohio National Guard, and representatives from higher education, juvenile courts, foundations, and community service providers.

 

There are two main purposes of the OHYES! First, the OHYES! addresses the need for data on local trends in youth behaviors and risk and protective factors. Second, it helps community-based organizations meet federal grant reporting requirements, including ones from: Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success, Drug Free Communities, Safe Schools and Healthy Students, Communities that Care Grants, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Prevention and Treatment Block Grant National Outcome Measures (NOMs). Additionally, the OHYES! data may help communities when applying for local grants through foundations such as the United Way. It may also help communities meet the requirements for local health department needs assessments.
