2024 Montana School Survey Fact Sheet
As a parent, teacher or community member you may hear reference to student’s participating in the MPNA or Montana Prevention Needs Assessment survey this year. Why is this so important? The MPNA is an anonymous survey of youth in 8th, 10th and 12th grade administered every two years, and 2024 is the year for schools to participate in this important survey! The goal is to gather data regarding health risk behaviors. These factors may put youth at a higher risk of drug misuse, dropping out of school, substance use and abuse and partner violence. This information is used to plan important prevention programming statewide, as well funding for prevention activities in your town.
