Urban Indian Underage Usage Prevention Survey

We invite you to take part in a research study about the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of American Indian and Alaska Native youth related to underage substance use.

If you’re interested in filling out our 20–25 minute long survey, you’ll receive a $25 VISA gift card upon completion. By participating in this research, the knowledge you share will help inform substance use prevention projects centered on American Indian and Alaska Native youth.

To qualify, you must:

Be 9–25 years old (if under 18 years old, your caretaker will need to give permission for your participation).

Self-identify as American Indian and/or Alaska Native.

Live in Seattle/King County, WA, or receive care from any urban Native organization in King County, WA.

This survey is completely optional, and you can opt out and/or ask questions at any time. Opting out will not affect your ability to seek and receive any form of care at the Seattle Indian Health Board. If you need any additional resources, download our resource card below.

 If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Youth Services at youthservices@sihb.org. The deadline to fill out the consent forms and submit the survey is December 23. Your participation is greatly appreciated!

Below is the link to the consent forms and the flow chart of what the process for participation will look like.
