2021 Survey Information
This page contains materials for the 2021 Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey and is primarily for participating schools and parents/guardians of participating students. The 2021 administration of MIYHS will take place in October/November 2021 and will include in-school student surveys for grades 5-12. Select middle and high schools are eligible to administer their student surveys using a web-based survey identical to the paper surveys.
The 5th/6th grade survey is a sample designed to provide data for the state and geographic public health districts. The middle school (grades 7/8) survey and the high school (grades 9-12) survey include a census for all public and quasi-public (at least 60% publicly funded) schools designed to provide data for the state, geographic public health districts, and counties. School and School Administrative Unit (SAU) data for the 5th/6th grade survey, middle school survey, and high school survey are considered confidential and require permission from principals or superintendents.
