A PRIDE SURVEY was conducted in 2006 and 2008 with 6-12 grade students in all Osage County Schools. The survey reported on the four core measures required of Drug Free Communities: 1) average age of onset, 2) past 30 day use, 3) perception of parental disapproval, and 4) perception of risk. The below Tables compare the 2006 and 2008 PRIDE SURVEY results for the Osage Reservation/County showing alcohol with the highest percentage of 30-day risk during both years. Please note there is a significant change from 2006 to 2008 which concludes we are making a difference.
