Oregon Student Wellness Survey On January 28th, during English classes, 11th grade students will participate in the Oregon Student Well-
ness Survey (SWS). The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Addictions and Mental Health Division and
Oregon Department of Education (ODE) sponsor this survey. It asks students about their academic com-
mitment, the school environment, positive youth development, and behavioral risks such as fighting,
depression, substance abuse, and gambling. The SWS gathers information that is used to plan and
evaluate programs that address these areas.
All student responses on the survey are anonymous. No student names or other identifying information
will be on the survey. The results of the students will only be presented about groups, not individuals.
The “Parent Notification” letter sent home on January 17th, provides more information for your review
through at the Oregon.gov website. You may also contact the name and number provided with any
questions you may have.
