2023 Springfield youth health survey data now available!
November 29, 2023
Every other year, PHIWM coordinates the implementation of two youth health surveys for students enrolled in Springfield Public Schools. The Springfield Youth Health Survey (YHS) is administered to 8th grade students, and the Springfield Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is administered to 10th and 12th grade students. The YHS and YRBS questionnaires are modified versions of those used in the statewide survey initiative.

The Springfield Youth Health Survey Initiative planning team is working on other ways to disseminate the data to schools, youth, parents/caregivers, and the community at large. More to come...

Read CLF's press release for more information. Community groups and health advocates have been fighting against this proposed plant for more than a decade. Burning biomass, like wood, pollutes our air with particulate matter, contributing to asthma and other serious health issues. The Public Health Institute of Western Massachusetts recently joined CLF and more than 86 other organizations urging MA lawmakers to end public subsidies for biomass energy. Act Now! Tell the Massachusetts Legislature to take dirty biomass out of our clean energy programs!
