Why This Indicator Matters
Students in 8th and 11th grades who report smoking in the past month were asked about influencing factors.
Every young person in danger of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use has different needs, and drug abuse prevention strategies should be targeted to accommodate the specific needs of the individuals involved. Strategies may focus on psychological and emotional support, drug and alcohol education initiatives or comprehensive intervention.

Footnotes:
“S” = data are suppressed where number of incidences are at or below 30 to limit the disclosure of information about individual respondents and to reduce the number of estimates with unacceptable levels of statistical reliability.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the data collection for the Delaware School Survey was temporarily suspended. This suspension has resulted in a gap in Delaware School Survey data for the 2020 survey year. However, due to an early administration approach that started in the 2019-2020 school year for the 8th grade survey, CDHS was able to collect enough surveys in the 2019-2020 school year to report out 8th grade data. Data on 5th and 11th grade students for the 2020 school year will not be available.
