Since the 2001-2002 school year, the Wyoming Prevention Needs Assessment survey has tracked critical indicators of health and well-being of students in Wyoming. Conducted every other year in nearly all the middle and high schools in the state, the PNA gathers information about substance use and abuse, attitudes on risky behaviors, and other beliefs of Wyoming's young people.
The Wyoming Prevention Needs Assessment is a project of the Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center and the Wyoming Department of Health.
