School-based substance use surveys are an important data source for prevention and evaluationresearchers, but access to students has become progressively restricted by schools. Becausealmost all states and many districts conduct their own regular surveys, archived data are apotential resource for informed policy and practice decisions. In this study, substance use surveydata were successfully collected from 69 of 105 targeted school districts located in 12 states.Results indicate the availability and quality of extant data currently limit their usefulness. Recommendationsare made regarding how schools could be assisted to improve the value of theirsubstance use surveys.

Key Words: school surveys • drug abuse prevention • adolescents • survey quality • evaluation
