3 Introduction to the 2014 Windsor Locks Alcohol & Drug Use Student Survey Report The following report is a summary of data that was gathered during January and February of 2014 at Windsor Locks Middle School (grades 6-8) and Windsor Locks High School (grades 9-12), all located in the town of Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Data collected from this year s student survey will be used in the planning and development of strategies, policies, and practices in Windsor Locks. This survey was administered to youth in the schools in order to ensure a representative sample and reliable data. Please note that the findings presented in this report are not reflective of the school but are intended to reflect the greater community of Windsor Locks. The Windsor Locks 2014 Alcohol and Drug Use Student Survey fulfills the following objectives: 1. Describes the nature and extent of substance abuse, school environment, and other risky behaviors among Windsor Locks students in grades 6-12 in the year Monitors trends in substance abuse and other risky behaviors over time through comparisons with the 2010 survey reports. 3. Aids in future planning of services and activities for young people in Windsor Locks. Survey Tool Background: The current ERASE Survey tool was adapted from the Governor s Prevention Initiative for Youth (GPIY) Student Survey, a school survey that was distributed throughout the state of Connecticut in The ERASE Survey has been used throughout the ERASE Region to monitor the rates and trends of substance abuse and other risk and protective factors for over 15 years. ERASE, a non profit 501(c)(3) organization, is one of 13 Regional Action Councils established by state legislation to assess substance abuse needs and to fill gaps in services. ERASE serves the following Connecticut towns: Enfield, Somers, Stafford, East Windsor, Ellington, Tolland, South Windsor, Vernon, East Hartford, Manchester, Bolton, Andover, Hebron, Marlborough, and Glastonbury. Survey Consent: The 2014 Windsor Locks Alcohol and Drug Use Student Surveys were administered on January 31, 2014 to students at Windsor Locks Middle School and on February 4, 2014 to students at Windsor Locks High School. Students guardians received letters notifying them of the purpose and content of the survey and were able to return a signed passive consent form to the school if they did not want their children to participate in the school survey. Survey Administration: All surveys were administered online in school computer labs using SurveyMonkey.com website and software. Teachers received a set of instructions to read to the students before administering the surveys. Both verbal and written instructions informed students that participation of the survey was voluntary and anonymous. Any question could be skipped if a student was not comfortable answering a particular question. Students who chose to not participate in the survey were asked to sit quietly until all classmates finished the survey. Data Processing: The student survey data was exported from the SurveyMonkey.com website and imported into SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for data analysis. A total of 18 surveys (2.5% of original sample of 732 surveys) were omitted from the sample pool due to observed discrepancies in the responses (inconsistent/extreme responses). The final sample size after surveys were omitted was 714 surveys for grades
4 Sample Response Rates: Response rates by grade level and school are listed below in Table 1. Response rates are calculated as a proportion of the number of surveys included in the sample to the number of total students enrolled in the school year. Note that total sample counts only contain surveys that were used in the survey report; surveys that were omitted from the sample pool are not included in the following counts. TABLE 1: Sample Count Population Count Response Rate (%) Grade 6 91 students 110 students 82.7% Grade students 128 students 92.2% Grade students 122 students 86.9% Grade 9 99 students 113 students 87.6% Grade students 141 students 82.3% Grade students 127 students 71.7% Grade students 136 students 66.0% Grades students 360 students 88.1% Grades students 517 students 76.8% Grades students 877 students 81.4% Table 2 shows the confidence intervals calculated for grades 6-8, 9-12 and 6-12, using a 95% confidence level. A confidence interval simply means the percentage range you can expect the accurate rates to fall within. Smaller confidence intervals give you more accurate estimates of the actual use rates in the school population (and larger confidence intervals give you less accurate estimates of the actual use rates in the school population). For example, if 25% of your sample reported using alcohol in the past month, a confidence interval of 2.0 means that if you randomly re-sampled your population 100 times, 95 of those times you would find past month alcohol use rates to fall somewhere between 23% (25-2) and 27% (25+2). In contrast, if your confidence level is 5 (and 25% of your sample reported using alcohol in the past month), you would typically find past month use rates ranging between 15% (25-5) and 30% (25+5) if you repeatedly re-sampled students in this population. TABLE 2: Confidence Level Confidence Interval Grades % +/ Grades % +/ Grades % +/ Statistical Analyses: Statistical comparisons by grade levels were conducted separately for grades 6-8 and grades 9-12 using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques. Generally, grade level percentage differences are only reported when overall significance is found, with the exception of some key substance use measures (core GPRA measures for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and prescription 4
5 drug use), all of which will be reported by grade level regardless of significance level. Any grade differences not reported should be assumed to not be significantly different, p >.05. When overall significance was found (p <.05), post-hoc analyses using either the Bonferroni (equal group variances assumed) or Games-Howell (unequal variances assumed) were conducted to determine which grade levels were significantly different from each other. Both post-hoc procedures protect against Type I error, which occurs when a significant result is actually due to error rather than actual group differences. Throughout the survey report, the type of post-hoc procedure used will be specified in a superscript located in parentheses, with a (B) indicating that the Bonferroni procedure was used, and a (GH) indicating that the Games-Howell Procedure was used. Statistical comparisons by gender were conducted for grades 6-8 and grades 9-12 separately using an independent-samples t-test. Gender differences for grades 6-8 and 9-12 are only reported when a significance value (p) of less than.05 is found. Any gender differences not reported should be assumed to not be significantly different, p >.05. Year Trends: When showing year trends in substance use (comparing 2010 to 2014 data), both percentage difference and percentage change scores are calculated. Percentage difference is simply the number of percentage points that have changed positively or negatively in the substance use rate between 2010 and Percentage change is the percentage difference divided by the original 2010 substance use rate. For example, the past month alcohol use rate for students in grades 6-12 was 20.5% in 2010 and 10.2% in The percentage difference score is -10.3% (10.2%- 20.5%) and the percentage change score is -50.2% (-10.3%/20.5%). Statistical Comparisons by Race: In order to prevent unfair identification or stereotyping a small handful of students as using or abusing drugs, statistical analyses by race were conducted across grades 6-12 rather than by school, and race groups comprising less than 5% of the full sample (Native American) were combined into one already existing category referred to as other (which contained other races not listed as a choice for that question that students could write in). Statistical comparisons by race were conducted for grades 6-12 using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques. Post-hoc analyses were conducted similarly as they were for grade differences, described above. Due to low sample sizes by race sub-group, race differences will only be reported if significant differences are found for the core drugs of interest: tobacco, alcohol (and binge drinking), marijuana, and prescription drugs concerning use rates and perception related questions. For information regarding race differences in substance use, refer to the national survey reports, such as the National Survey on Drug Use and Health ( or the Monitoring the Future Survey ( Differences in Timing and Method of Survey Administration between 2010 and 2014: When assessing year trends in drug and alcohol use, it is important to keep in mind the different ways in which the survey was administered, as these factors may affect the results. In 2010, the student survey was administered in paper format to Windsor Locks students in the month of June. In 2014, the student survey was administered in computer format to Windsor Locks students in the month of February. The survey administration date was scheduled to occur earlier in the year in order to satisfy current grant requirements; the changed survey date was approved by school administration. 5

9 Section I: Survey Sample Demographics The student survey sample consisted of a total of 714 students (328 females, 380 males, 6 not specified). 317 students represented Windsor Locks Middle School (156 females, 161 males, 0 not specified) and 397 students represented Windsor Locks High School (172 females, 219 male, 6 not specified). Refer to Figure 1.0 to see the count of students surveyed in each grade level and gender breakdowns by grade level. Refer to Figure 1.1 for the breakdown of the sample by race, as included in the survey. Refer to Figure 1.2 for the race grouping used to assess mean differences for statistical significance (as it combines race groups that are less than 5% of the full 6-12 sample). 6 th grade 7 th grade 8 th grade 9 th grade 10 th grade 11 th grade 12 th grade n = 91 n = 118 n = 106 n = 99 n = 116 n = 91 n = 90 males: 46 males: 58 males: 57 males: 63 males: 60 males: 52 males: 44 females: 45 females: 60 females: 49 females: 33 females: 54 females: 39 females: 45 unknown: 0 unknown: 0 unknown: 0 unknown: 3 unknown: 2 unknown: 0 unknown: 1 Figure 1.0 Student sample size and gender breakdown for each grade level White or Caucasian Black or African American Asian or Pacific Islander Hispanic or Latino Native American Other Grades 6-8 n = 206 (65.2%) n = 28 (8.9%) n = 23 (7.3%) n = 26 (8.2%) n = 6 (1.9%) n = 27 (8.5%) Grades 9-12 n = 263 (67.3%) n = 42 (10.7%) n = 24 (6.1%) n =34 (8.7%) n = 5 (1.3%) n = 23 (5.9%) Grades 6-12 n = 469 (66.3%) n = 70 (9.9%) n = 47 (6.6%) n =60 (8.5%) n = 11 (1.6%) n = 50 (7.1%) Figure 1.1 Student sample breakdown by race White or Caucasian Black or African American Hispanic or Latino Asian or Pacific Islander Other (Native American, and Other ) Grades 6-12 n = 469 (66.3%) n = 70 (9.9%) n =60 (8.5%) n = 47 (6.6%) n = 61 (8.6%) 9
10 Figure 1.2 This figure shows which races were combined into a single group for statistical analyses. Part 1: Tobacco Use Section II: Tobacco Use and Perceptions of Use Students were asked to report how frequently in the past month they had used cigarettes. In a separate question, students were asked to report how frequently in the past month they had used other tobacco products (not including cigarettes), such as chewing or pipe tobacco, cigars, snuff, or Snus. To facilitate comparisons to regional and national data, and to allow for comparisons to past year Windsor Locks survey reports, we have merged students answers to these two separate questions into a general tobacco products use variable, in addition to reporting student usage rates for cigarettes and other tobacco products. Note that students could have reported using either or both types of tobacco products (the two questions were not mutually exclusive). Note also that e-cigarettes are NOT included in the general tobacco products use variable. Tobacco Use Rates for % of students in grades 6-12 reported using any type of tobacco product (cigarettes, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, cigars, snuff, Snus, etc.) at least once in the past month. Refer to Figure 2.0 for tobacco use rates among students in grades 6-12, 6-8, and Figure Tobacco Use Rates Grades 6-12 (n=714) Grades 6-8 (n=317) Grades 9-12 (n=397) All Tobacco Products 1 : Lifetime Use (used at least once before) 10.4% 1.9% 17.1% All Tobacco Products: Past Month Use (used in past 30 days) 5.0% 9.1% All Tobacco Products: Frequent/Daily Use (6+ days in past month) 2.7% 4.8% Cigarettes: Lifetime Use (used at least once before) 8.7% 1.9% 14.2% Cigarettes: Past Month Use (used in past 30 days) 3.6% 6.5% Cigarettes: Frequent/Daily Use (6+ days in past month) 2.1% 3.9% Other Tobacco Products: Lifetime Use (used at least once before) 7.6% 1.0% 13.1% Other Tobacco Products: Past Month Use (used in past 30 days) 3.0% 5.5% Other Tobacco Products: Frequent/Daily Use (6+ days in past month) 1.3% 2.4% E-Cigarettes: Lifetime Use (used at least once before) 6.9% 3.5% 9.7% 1 E-cigarettes are NOT included in this all tobacco products variable.

Refer to Figure 2.16 for grade level differences for perceived frequency of peer tobacco use and how it compares to actual past month tobacco use rates. Note that as grade level increases, accuracy of perceived peer tobacco use decreases, particularly in the high school grades. For instance, 89.9% of 6 th grade students perceived that less than 10% of their peers used tobacco, and 0% of 6 th grade students reported using tobacco products in the past month. In contrast, majority (69%) of 12 th grade students perceived that % of 12 th grade students used tobacco products, but only 12% reported using tobacco products in the past month.

Risks of Drinking Alcohol (5 or More Drinks, Once or Twice a Week) There are two similar questions regarding students perceived risk associated with alcohol use. The following question, How much do you think people risk harming themselves (physically or in other ways) when they drink 5 or more alcoholic beverages once or twice a week should be used when comparing to national and state level data, as it meets current federal grant guidelines. 34.9% of students in grades 6-12 perceived that drinking 5 or more alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor) once or twice a week to be a moderate or great risk. Refer to Figure Figure 3.18 Moderate Risk Great Risk Moderate Risk or Great Risk Grades 6-12 (n=705) 32.6% 34.9% 67.5% Grades 6-8 (n=312) 36.2% 33.3% 69.6% Grades 9-12 (n=393) 29.8% 36.1% 65.9% There were significant differences between grades 6-8 in the perception of having 5 or more alcoholic drinks once or twice a week being risky to one s health, F(2, 307) = 4.21, p <.05.

Risks of Drinking Alcohol (1 or 2 Drinks Nearly Every Day) In addition to the question above, which assessed perception of risk associated with drinking 5 or more alcoholic beverages 1-2 times a week, students were also asked to rate how much risk they 25
26 perceived as associated with drinking 1-2 alcoholic beverages nearly every day to ease comparison of perception of risk of alcohol as asked in prior survey years for Windsor Locks (e.g., 2010). 58.9% of students in grades 6-12 perceived that drinking 1 or 2 alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor) nearly every day to be a moderate or great risk.
