2022 Attitudes & Behaviors Survey
In order to gain a better understanding of student attitudes and actions relating to at-risk behaviors, Brookfield CARES works closely with the Brookfield Public Schools to survey students in grades ranging from 6 to 12 every few years. We’ve surveyed students 6 times since 2009. Our 2022 effort — the most recent — surveyed students in grades 7—12.
The survey — developed by Search Institute and taken by millions of students nationwide — is a secure process that protects student anonmity while providing valuable data in a wide range of areas including alcohol and drug use, depression and suicide, gambling, vaping, safety (for the first time), and more.
