California Healthy Kids Survey Data Available Through Kidsdata.org

Student-reported data on exercise, nutrition, use of alcohol and other drugs and school connectedness from the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), a survey of the California Department of Education (CDE), now are available on kidsdata.org. This is the result of a new partnership between the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health and WestEd, which administers the CHKS survey for CDE. Kidsdata.org will add CHKS data on additional topics in the coming months.

Data are currently available only for California and Bay Area counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara). If you don’t see data for your county or district, change the year in the toolbox, as the survey is administered every other year in most school districts.In Fall 2009, Kidsdata will expand to all 58 counties in California.
