- INYS ::: Indiana Youth Survey

Serving Indiana schools and communities since 1991

The Indiana Youth Survey is a biennial survey of students in grades 6-12. The INYS assesses students’ substance use, mental health, gambling, and risk and protective factors that can impact student success.
All public and private schools are invited to participate free of charge, through funding provided by the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction. The INYS is conducted in the spring of even-numbered years. Participating schools receive a corporation-level report of their students’ responses.
