Illinois Youth Survey

Funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), the Illinois Youth Survey (IYS) is a statewide, self-reported survey administered in school settings. The IYS is designed to gather information about a variety of health and social indicators, including substance use patterns and attitudes of Illinois youth.

Drawing a random sample to represent the state population of eighth, 10th and 12th graders in Illinois public schools, the IYS measures key risk and protective factors that strongly contribute to community-wide substance use rates. It also provides essential data to secure and maintain state and federal substance use prevention funding.
