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. 

2023 district-level data are now available!


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...
