A companion document, 2003 New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey: Statewide Results, presents results for the state. Together, these documents comprise a useful tool for those working on youth- related issues at the state and local level. The YRRS is organized into two major content areas: risk behaviors and resiliency factors. Risk behaviors include behaviors associated with personal safety, violence, depression and suicidal ideation, tobacco use, alcohol use, drug use, sexual activity, physical activity, and nutrition ( Appendix A). Resiliency factors, or protective factors, are measures of the positive and supportive relationships, experiences, activities, and values that encourage healthy youth development. Resiliency factors include caring and supportive relationships in the family, school, community and with peers; boundaries and expectations set by the family, school, and community; positive peer support; meaningful participation/ constructive use of time; commitment to learning; life skills/ social competencies; and perception of community norms related to alcohol use by high school age youth ( Appendix B). How to Read this Report This report has three main sections, each of which consists of a set of bar charts. The first section presents the results of the major risk behaviors examined in the survey. Each category of risk behavior is presented as a pair of two bar charts. The first chart compares results for the county to results for the entire state, and the second compares the risk behaviors of boys to those of girls within the county. All risk behaviors are defined in Appendix A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - NOTE: County level YRRS reports are freely available. School district reports have been distributed to school district offices. School districts are encouraged to reproduce and share these reports with community groups concerned with prevention and health promotion. However, school district level results will not be released without express permission of the school district superintendent. 1 The second section presents the results of the resiliency section of the survey. As with the risk behaviors, each set of resiliency factors is presented with two charts, one comparing the county to the state, and the other comparing boys to girls within the county. The third section explores the relationship between each resiliency factor and each of four different risk factors. This section presents results for the state as a whole, rather than for the county. As can be seen repeatedly, students with resiliency factors were less likely to engage in risky behaviors than those who did not have the resiliency factors. The third section of the report is followed by a chart illustrating the relationships between selected risk behaviors and the academic success of students ( academic success in indicated when students report they receive mostly A's and B's in their classes). Results show that students who do not engage in risky behaviors are more likely to report academic success. Understanding The Charts, and A Word about Error Bars The bar charts in this report present the percentage of students who reported engaging in any given risk behavior or who reported having any given resiliency factor. The height of the bars conveys the approximate percentage reporting each trait, and provides a quick visual comparison between different groups of students reporting that trait. Underneath each set of bars is a table that presents the percentage of students who reported each trait. For instance, the chart on page 8, Vehicle Safety, shows that 11.5% of students in New Mexico rarely or never wear seatbelts, while 15.2% of students in Quay do the same. Because of the high cost and logistical complications involved in conducting a statewide survey, the YRRS was administered to a sample of students, rather than to every single student in each school district. Because YRRS data are about a sample of students, and not the entire student body, the results in this report are estimates. As with all estimates, there is some uncertainty associated with each of these estimates. On the charts in this report, this degree of uncertainty is represented by an error bar ( or confidence interval). The error bar is the thin ' I' shaped line that extends above and below the end of each bar in a chart. One of the major influences on the confidence interval or error bar is the number of participants in the survey. In general, this means that with more students participating in the survey, there will be a higher degree of confidence in the results ( i. e., error bars will be smaller). 2 The proper interpretation of an error bar can be illustrated by looking at the chart on page 46. This chart illustrates the relationship between various risk factors and the resiliency factor, Caring and Supportive Relationships in the Family. The chart demonstrates that among students with the resiliency factor, 25.5% were current smokers, while among those without the resiliency factor, 38.7% were current smokers. The error bar for the estimate of those with the resiliency factor ( 25.5%) extends approximately 2.5 percentage points in either direction, meaning that we are confident that the actual percentage of smokers in this group of students was between 23.0% and 28.0%. The error bar for the estimate of those without the resiliency factor ( 38.7%) extends approximately 4 percentage points in either direction, so we are confident that the actual percentage of smokers among this group was between 34.7% and 42.7%. How does knowing the upper and lower limits of our error bars help us? In the same example, the error bar for those with the resiliency factor extends from 23.0% to 28.0%, and the error bar for those without the resiliency factor extends from 34.7% to 42.7%. Because these two intervals do not overlap, we have a high degree of confidence that those with the resiliency factor are less likely to be smokers than those without the resiliency factor. The same can be visually confirmed by looking at the error bars themselves on the bar charts-- the error bars do not overlap, therefore we are confident that students in one group were less likely to be current smokers than students in the other group. The importance of the error bar is further demonstrated in the chart on page 47. Of those with the resiliency factor, Caring and Supportive Relationships in the School, 26.7% reported being current smokers. Of those without the resiliency factor, 32.8% reported being current smokers. While at first it appears that there may be an important difference between those with and without the resiliency factor with regard to smoking cigarettes, it is also apparent that the error bars for these two groups overlap. In this case, we cannot confidently say that those with the resiliency factor were less likely to be smokers than those without the resiliency factor. In other words, the estimates ( 26.7% and 32.8%) are not statistically different from each other. For some small counties, error bars have been removed from this report. In small counties, the number of students sampled can approach the total student population. In these cases, error bars have limited meaning because with a high percentage of students surveyed, there is less uncertainty around the estimates than error bars suggest. 3 Methodology The YRRS was implemented in fall and spring semesters of the 2003- 2004 school year. All public school districts in New Mexico were invited to participate in the 2003 YRRS. Of 89 districts statewide, 71 districts participated. From each participating school district, schools with students from 9th to 12th grades were selected to participate. The probability of selection of each school was proportional to the size of its 9th- 12th grade population. In large school districts, this meant that only some of the schools were selected to participate, while in small districts, all schools were selected. Classrooms were systematically selected from each school, and all students in each selected classroom were asked to participate. In each participating school, a single day was arranged on which to administer the survey. Questionnaire forms and pencils were distributed to each student in participating classes, and students were asked to fill out the questionnaires independently of other students and without teacher assistance. Questionnaires were electronically scanned, and data were analyzed using STATA 8.2, a statistical software program. Limitations of the YRRS All information from the YRRS was self- reported by the participating students. While most questions on the YRRS come from nationally validated surveys, and data quality has been demonstrated to be very high in national surveys, there is no way to guarantee the truthfulness of the participants in any survey that relies on self- reporting. A good response rate is one of the most important goals in conducting a survey. At the school district level, a response rate is the percentage of all students selected for the survey who complete and return a useable questionnaire form. At the state level, the response rate incorporates the participation of school districts and schools as well as the participation of students. An adequate response rate means that survey results are more likely to represent the statewide grade 9- 12 public school population. The statewide response rate for the 2003 YRRS was 56%, just short of our target of 60%. In order to achieve a 60% statewide response rate, we aimed for a 75% response rate from each participating school district. Most participating school districts met this target or were close to it, with response rates ranging from 15% to 96%. While the response rate was generally very good in participating schools, the weakness in the statewide response rate stemmed from entire school districts and schools declining to participate. 4 Participation in Quay County Profile of students surveyed Percent (%) Number of students Total: 100% 328 Gender Boys: 51.89% 165 Girls: 48.11% 153 Race/ Ethnicity Hispanic, single ethnicity: 37% 119 White, single ethnicity: 44.4% 143 American Indian, single ethnicity: 3.1% 10 Hispanic, multiple ethnicity: 6.8% 22 Non- Hispanic, multiple ethnicity 3.7% 12 Other: 5% 16 Grade Level 9th 32.1% 105 10th 26% 85 11th 22.6% 74 12th 18.7% 61 Other: 0.6% 2 5 The response rate in Quay County was 81%. A high response rate produces survey results that are more representative of the student population. A response rate of at least 60% allows generalization of results to the entire student body. A response rate of 75% is excellent and allows a high degree of confidence in results. Because a high response rate means that more students have been surveyed, a high response rate will also be reflected in the error bars ( i. e., with a higher response rate and more students included in the survey, error bars will be smaller and confidence intervals will be narrower). Response rates below 60% are considered low, and caution should be exercised in interpreting results. Low response rates indicate that the data is likely only representative of students who participated in the survey and may not necessarily represent the entire student body. 6 Risk Behaviors 7 Grades 9 -

A companion document, 2003 New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey: Statewide Results, presents results for the state. Together, these documents comprise a useful tool for those working on youth- related issues at the state and local level. The YRRS is organized into two major content areas: risk behaviors and resiliency factors. Risk behaviors include behaviors associated with personal safety, violence, depression and suicidal ideation, tobacco use, alcohol use, drug use, sexual activity, physical activity, and nutrition ( Appendix A). Resiliency factors, or protective factors, are measures of the positive and supportive relationships, experiences, activities, and values that encourage healthy youth development. Resiliency factors include caring and supportive relationships in the family, school, community and with peers; boundaries and expectations set by the family, school, and community; positive peer support; meaningful participation/ constructive use of time; commitment to learning; life skills/ social competencies; and perception of community norms related to alcohol use by high school age youth ( Appendix B). How to Read this Report This report has three main sections, each of which consists of a set of bar charts. The first section presents the results of the major risk behaviors examined in the survey. Each category of risk behavior is presented as a pair of two bar charts. The first chart compares results for the county to results for the entire state, and the second compares the risk behaviors of boys to those of girls within the county. All risk behaviors are defined in Appendix A. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - NOTE: County level YRRS reports are freely available. School district reports have been distributed to school district offices. School districts are encouraged to reproduce and share these reports with community groups concerned with prevention and health promotion. However, school district level results will not be released without express permission of the school district superintendent. 1 The second section presents the results of the resiliency section of the survey. As with the risk behaviors, each set of resiliency factors is presented with two charts, one comparing the county to the state, and the other comparing boys to girls within the county. The third section explores the relationship between each resiliency factor and each of four different risk factors. This section presents results for the state as a whole, rather than for the county. As can be seen repeatedly, students with resiliency factors were less likely to engage in risky behaviors than those who did not have the resiliency factors. The third section of the report is followed by a chart illustrating the relationships between selected risk behaviors and the academic success of students ( academic success in indicated when students report they receive mostly A's and B's in their classes). Results show that students who do not engage in risky behaviors are more likely to report academic success. Understanding The Charts, and A Word about Error Bars The bar charts in this report present the percentage of students who reported engaging in any given risk behavior or who reported having any given resiliency factor. The height of the bars conveys the approximate percentage reporting each trait, and provides a quick visual comparison between different groups of students reporting that trait. Underneath each set of bars is a table that presents the percentage of students who reported each trait. For instance, the chart on page 8, Vehicle Safety, shows that 11.5% of students in New Mexico rarely or never wear seatbelts, while 15.2% of students in Quay do the same. Because of the high cost and logistical complications involved in conducting a statewide survey, the YRRS was administered to a sample of students, rather than to every single student in each school district. Because YRRS data are about a sample of students, and not the entire student body, the results in this report are estimates. As with all estimates, there is some uncertainty associated with each of these estimates. On the charts in this report, this degree of uncertainty is represented by an error bar ( or confidence interval). The error bar is the thin ' I' shaped line that extends above and below the end of each bar in a chart. One of the major influences on the confidence interval or error bar is the number of participants in the survey. In general, this means that with more students participating in the survey, there will be a higher degree of confidence in the results ( i. e., error bars will be smaller). 2 The proper interpretation of an error bar can be illustrated by looking at the chart on page 46. This chart illustrates the relationship between various risk factors and the resiliency factor, Caring and Supportive Relationships in the Family. The chart demonstrates that among students with the resiliency factor, 25.5% were current smokers, while among those without the resiliency factor, 38.7% were current smokers. The error bar for the estimate of those with the resiliency factor ( 25.5%) extends approximately 2.5 percentage points in either direction, meaning that we are confident that the actual percentage of smokers in this group of students was between 23.0% and 28.0%. The error bar for the estimate of those without the resiliency factor ( 38.7%) extends approximately 4 percentage points in either direction, so we are confident that the actual percentage of smokers among this group was between 34.7% and 42.7%. How does knowing the upper and lower limits of our error bars help us? In the same example, the error bar for those with the resiliency factor extends from 23.0% to 28.0%, and the error bar for those without the resiliency factor extends from 34.7% to 42.7%. Because these two intervals do not overlap, we have a high degree of confidence that those with the resiliency factor are less likely to be smokers than those without the resiliency factor. The same can be visually confirmed by looking at the error bars themselves on the bar charts-- the error bars do not overlap, therefore we are confident that students in one group were less likely to be current smokers than students in the other group. The importance of the error bar is further demonstrated in the chart on page 47. Of those with the resiliency factor, Caring and Supportive Relationships in the School, 26.7% reported being current smokers. Of those without the resiliency factor, 32.8% reported being current smokers. While at first it appears that there may be an important difference between those with and without the resiliency factor with regard to smoking cigarettes, it is also apparent that the error bars for these two groups overlap. In this case, we cannot confidently say that those with the resiliency factor were less likely to be smokers than those without the resiliency factor. In other words, the estimates ( 26.7% and 32.8%) are not statistically different from each other. For some small counties, error bars have been removed from this report. In small counties, the number of students sampled can approach the total student population. In these cases, error bars have limited meaning because with a high percentage of students surveyed, there is less uncertainty around the estimates than error bars suggest. 3 Methodology The YRRS was implemented in fall and spring semesters of the 2003- 2004 school year. All public school districts in New Mexico were invited to participate in the 2003 YRRS. Of 89 districts statewide, 71 districts participated. From each participating school district, schools with students from 9th to 12th grades were selected to participate. The probability of selection of each school was proportional to the size of its 9th- 12th grade population. In large school districts, this meant that only some of the schools were selected to participate, while in small districts, all schools were selected. Classrooms were systematically selected from each school, and all students in each selected classroom were asked to participate. In each participating school, a single day was arranged on which to administer the survey. Questionnaire forms and pencils were distributed to each student in participating classes, and students were asked to fill out the questionnaires independently of other students and without teacher assistance. Questionnaires were electronically scanned, and data were analyzed using STATA 8.2, a statistical software program. Limitations of the YRRS All information from the YRRS was self- reported by the participating students. While most questions on the YRRS come from nationally validated surveys, and data quality has been demonstrated to be very high in national surveys, there is no way to guarantee the truthfulness of the participants in any survey that relies on self- reporting. A good response rate is one of the most important goals in conducting a survey. At the school district level, a response rate is the percentage of all students selected for the survey who complete and return a useable questionnaire form. At the state level, the response rate incorporates the participation of school districts and schools as well as the participation of students. An adequate response rate means that survey results are more likely to represent the statewide grade 9- 12 public school population. The statewide response rate for the 2003 YRRS was 56%, just short of our target of 60%. In order to achieve a 60% statewide response rate, we aimed for a 75% response rate from each participating school district. Most participating school districts met this target or were close to it, with response rates ranging from 15% to 96%. While the response rate was generally very good in participating schools, the weakness in the statewide response rate stemmed from entire school districts and schools declining to participate. 4 Participation in Quay County Profile of students surveyed Percent (%) Number of students Total: 100% 328 Gender Boys: 51.89% 165 Girls: 48.11% 153 Race/ Ethnicity Hispanic, single ethnicity: 37% 119 White, single ethnicity: 44.4% 143 American Indian, single ethnicity: 3.1% 10 Hispanic, multiple ethnicity: 6.8% 22 Non- Hispanic, multiple ethnicity 3.7% 12 Other: 5% 16 Grade Level 9th 32.1% 105 10th 26% 85 11th 22.6% 74 12th 18.7% 61 Other: 0.6% 2 5 The response rate in Quay County was 81%. A high response rate produces survey results that are more representative of the student population. A response rate of at least 60% allows generalization of results to the entire student body. A response rate of 75% is excellent and allows a high degree of confidence in results. Because a high response rate means that more students have been surveyed, a high response rate will also be reflected in the error bars ( i. e., with a higher response rate and more students included in the survey, error bars will be smaller and confidence intervals will be narrower). Response rates below 60% are considered low, and caution should be exercised in interpreting results. Low response rates indicate that the data is likely only representative of students who participated in the survey and may not necessarily represent the entire student body. 6 Risk Behaviors 7 Grades 9 -

School How true do you feel these statements are for you? At my school, there is a teacher or some other adult… Who tells me when I do a good job. Who always wants me to do my best. Who believes that I will be a success. In my school, there are clear rules about what students can and cannot do. Community How true do you feel these statements are for you? Outside of my home and school, there is at least one adult… Who tells me when I do a good job. Who always wants me to do my best. Who believes that I will be a success. Other Resiliency Factors Positive Peer Influence Peer influence is related to boundaries and expectations. Youth standards for acceptable behavior are influenced by their peers and close friends. How true do you feel these statements are for you? My friends get into a lot of trouble. My friends do well in school. Among the people you consider to be your closest friends, how many would you say do the following? Drink alcohol once a week or more? Have used drugs such as marijuana or cocaine? Meaningful Participation / Constructive Use of Time This is a measure of constructive and structured activities in the school and in the community that are available to youth, and in which youth choose to participate. How true do you feel these statements are for you? At school, I help decide things like class activities or rules. At school I am involved in sports, clubs, or other extra- curricular activities ( such as band, cheerleading, student council, etc.).

Outside of my home and school, I am involved in music, art, literature, sports or a hobby. Outside of my home and school, I help other people. Commitment to Learning A strong commitment to learning is essential to a student's current and future academic success, and to future success as part of an ever- changing workforce.
