Data

Archival Indicators - (also known as Social Indicators) are comprised of data collected from public information sources that allow individual counties to see trends of risk factors in their communities. These indicators have been shown to correlate strongly with specific risk factors for youth involvement in alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, violence and other prohibited behavior. Data is collected annually for all counties as well as at the state level. The database is updated each year and reported as a rate or percentage. Examples of data contained in the database include: divorce, immunizations and teen pregnancy. The majority of the indicators contain data from 1988 through the most current year available.

MYDAUS - The Maine Youth Drug and Alcohol Use Survey (MYDAUS) has been administered periodically by the Office of Substance Abuse (OSA) since 1988. The overall goal of the survey series is to identify patterns of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use among middle and high school students in Maine and to estimate the number and characteristics of students in this age group who are at elevated risk of drug use and related problems.
