ATTACIIMENT A

Introduction
public Policy Research lnstitute (PPRI), in conjunction with the Department of State
Every rwo years since l9gg, the
rt*"tin Services (DSHS), has implemented a statewide suwey of drug and alcohol use among Texas secondary students.
S"*"V, for indivrdual efementary and secondary school distncts have also been conducted in each of the past eleven
years-

ppRl will administer the Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use in 2006 with a few alterations to the model that
has evolved through the course of this on-going project. Specifically, the institute
will:

r Recruit and conduct a statewide survey of randomly selected elementary and secondary independent school districts
based on thc methodology used in 2004 as modified to allow reporting by smaller regions.

o Increase activities to maximize participation as required by the new sampling plan. This includes additional
personnel and the development of a new website that will provide information as contained in the recruiting
brochure.

r Offer local surveys for individual school districts'

What follows will delineate the changes in material and procedures that are envisioned, as well as the support services
PPRI will provide, for the 2006 survey.

Statewide and Regional SurveY

PPRI conduct a l0th statewide survey of drug and alcohol use among Texas students to be administered in the
will
Winter and Spring of 2006. This new statewide survey will generate dala compatible to the DSHS time series begun in
1988, and provide current, comparative data for the participating independent school districts.

The sample will be designed to allow estimates to be made for smaller regions in Texas. The past three surveys have
ou.rs".pl.d the border areas to allow separate estimates for the border. In this survey, we plan to oversample in each of
the elevCn state planning regions. It is hoped that sufficient data can be obtained from each of the eleven regions to allow
a separate analyiis for eich of them. It is possible that some collapsing of districts will be required if there is insufficient
participation in any of the regions. Regional data may also be collapsed if the error-due-to- sampling in one or more of
ih" r.gionr is too high. It will still be possible to compare the border areas with the balance of the state as has been done
in the recent surveys.

Instrument Development
The survey instrument used will be in a format designed for an optical scan. There will be two versions, one for
elcmentary students in grades four through six, and one for secondary students in grades seven through twelve. Changes
or a-djustments to the instrument requested by DSHS can feasibly be made as late as October 2005. Once the changes
have been finalized, a vendor will be selected and the new surveys will be printed for delivery no later than January l,
2006.
Sample Design
A refatively large sample creates a somewhat lower standard error on substances for which there is greater variation tn
greater ability to
use across districts (such as marijuana). However, the main advantage of such a large sample size is the
deal with smaller ru'bgtoupr of the student populations, including some regional analyses. The basic sampling
that the
methodology will inv6lve a multistage clustei approach similar to that used in past statewide assessments, except
sample witl be modified so that it is stratified into the eleven planning regions.
 DSHS CONTRACT #11521
Page 5 of 13

ppg will sample approximately 220 districts in 2006 to be included in the statewide assessment. It is estimated that data
for the statewide analyses will be collected from about 370,000 elementary and secondary students. This is an increase of
about 140 districts and approximately 150,000 students more than in the 2004 statewide survey.
Use of Incentives and Other Available Services
Obtaining cooperation from those districts that are randomly selected for the state sample is sometimes a problem. Yet, it
is cntically important to get data from as many of the onginally selected districts as possible as each time a replacement
district is selected, the randomness of the sample is somewhat compromised. Beginning in 1998, thc survey was offered
free of charge to those districts that made up the statewide sample.

A similar offer will be made to all those distncts randomly selected for the statewide sample as part of the 2006 survey: a
basic locat survey package in exchange for being a part of the sample. The basic survey package will include an
assessment designed to fit the needs of the participating district, a local report of the results, a statewide report of data
comparable to that collected at the local level, and an executive sunrmary component that will include graphics.

ppRI offersa range of optional services for participating districts. The standard fees for these services can be waived
when necessary and/or feasible as a further incentive for those districts selected to participate as part of the statewide
sample.

Chief among these optional services, available to those districts with at least 1000 students enrolled per grade, is sample
design--an effective way for large districts to minimize costs while at the same time providing statistically valid data. A
standard sample design fee is assessed for those qualifuing distncts choosing this option. This fee is designed to cover
professional statistician and programmer time required for sample selcction, weighting, and calculation of error estimates.

A second optional service allows district data to be aggregated at different levels to provide individual campusJevel
analyses or combined district regional analyses.

As a third service, school districts may design their own supplemental survey questions using the generic response grid
printed on the back of all secondary survey instruments. In addition, and in response to repeated interest voiced at the
local level, PPRI will create a set of 25 to 30 supplemental questions for use by those districts wishing to ask their
students about non-drug-related safety issues to satisff the requirements of their Safe and Drug-Free School program
grants. These supplemental questions will be composed after a careful review of such that have been used by local
entities over the past several years, will be designed in such a way so as to not distract from the primary ones, and will be
available for those students taking the survey with the secondary instrument only.

Finally, districts may order additional report copies or data disks as needed.

Survey Implementation
Districts selected to be a part of the sample, will be recruited beginning in early September. Each randomly selected
district in the sample will be notified by way of a letter advising that the district has bcen selected. They will be notified
of a forthcoming recruitment brochure which will provide the details of the survey and the terms of the offer. The letter
will also indicate the location of a website containing the same information as the brochure. Where possible, e-mails will
be sent to the appropriate school contacts in addition to mailed letters. Thg target-audience brochure will then be sent
through the mail to each of these districts. Recruitment will follow with phone contacts to clarify the study objectives
and to discuss in detail how the survey should be administered. Making contact with the distncts early in the fall will
allow for the resolution of scheduling conflicts and other potential difficulties.

All districts participating in the study will receive their survey materials beginning in mid-December. Survey
administration will take place beginning in early January 2006 and PPRI will provide full suppo* for school personnel
involved. Each individual conducting the survey will receive a survey guidebook. The Survey Administration Guide will
instruct school personnel on a number of issues such as the importance of remaining unobtrusive during survey
administration and of respecting the confidentiality of a student's answers. Questions that might potentially be asked by
students will also be considercd, and appropriate responses will be reviewed. Finally, a script to be read during
administration will ensure that a standard set of instmctions is gven to all students. PPRI is prepared to offer additional
support as needed.
 DSHS CONTRACT *1rs21

Our staff is available for phone consultation at all times. Arrangements can be made for PPRI personnel to travel to
school districts to discuss the survey in person. In such instances, the district will be asked to assume associated costs.
Survey adminishation will be completed rn early May 2006.

Deta Scanning and Processing

ppRI, upon receipt of the completed surveys from the individual school districts, will process the data in the same careful
and efficient manner that has evolved over the course of the project. These retumed materials are coded by dishict and
by campus, cut to a form conducive to the optical scan process, and scanned. Careful record-keeping and random checks
ensure that all materials are properly handled and processed.

In 2000, PPRI purchased a high-performance scanner with a capacity that equaled, if not exceeded, the two slower
running machines in use in previous years. Before the scanning process for the 2006 survcy begins, tests will be
undertaken to ensure that the optical scanner is functioning properly.

District data will

be tabulated and processed based upon the date PPRI receives the material (unless special
circumstances are being accommodated). However, districts that are part of the statewide sample will be given pnonty,
followed by those districts that are a part of the Special Study fuea, so these important data sets can be aggregated,
checked, and submitted for DSHS approval at the earliest possible time.

To further improve efficiency, PPRI will expand the coding, cutting, and scanning operation into sufficient shifts to
accommodate the volume.

Data Analysis

During the Fall of 2006, a thorough evaluation of all existing computer programs will be made. As part of this extensive
assessment, those procedures which rely on older technologies will be altered to improve data storage, extraction and
transformation to increase efficiency and the level of automation---and to ensure that such will be technologically
supportable in the future. ln addition, in order to ease the difficulties associated with linking differcnt data sources
together, all of the project data currently distributed among multiple machines, directories and files will be aggegated
into the new PPRI central database system. Programmers will further monitor all aspects of programming protocols to
ensure the accuracy ofall computer-generated outputs,

PPRI will continue to use SAS as it provides maximum compatibility between DSHS and PPRI computer operations.
The newest version of SAS will also be used to ascertain standard error estimates. All DSHS school survey programs
will be thoroughly checked using existing data. All programs will be provided to DSHS staff prior to their use for
independent checks. Programming will be completed by March l, 2006.

All final state survey data will be provided to DSHS along with accompanying documentation and, with data in a
common location with common structures and applied metadata, status reports prior to delivery of final survey data can
be automated and delivered on a more frequent basis. In addition, the central database system should allow for the
creation of an extranet interface through which DSHS personnel and individual school distncts may view results via a
secure intemet connection.

PPRI staff will also perform analyses necessary to produce the state report that accompanies local reports to the districts.
This includes the same set of tables and figures used in previous years as well as those added to reflect the new survey
questions (see "Instrument Development" above). Costs for these services are included in the state survey budget.

Final Report of Survey Results

Each district will receive a final report summarizing local drug and alcohol use patterns (Part I), comparative statewide
substance use patterns (Part tI), and an executive sunrmary (Part III). Due to the lag time between the processing of local
data and the availability of aggregated statewide data, PPRI will send each part as soon as it is availabli. Thus, l-ocal data
(Part t) will be mailed to the participating district as soon as the results have been processed and a report generated, a
period that should take four to six weeks from the receipt of materials for districts in the statewide samplel and five to
seven weeks for those districts that are part of the Special Study Area. Comparative data (Part II) will 6e mailed to a//
participating districts within two weeks after PPRI and DSHS agree on the state numbers. The comparative report will
include the pnnted tablcs for the state that conespond to the tables in the local report the district hai already riceived in
Paft I. It will also include, where applicable, an unbound set of the graphics comparing the statewide and district
nurnbers.

The executive surrlmary package (Part II$, a bound volume that includes graphics when applicable, will be mailed as
soon as it has been edited and checked. Elementary summaries run approximately five to seven pages in length and
secondary summaries run approximately six to eight pages in length. These summaries will proviJe a conciie overview
ofthe findings useful for such purposes as press releases and group presentations (i.e., school boards or parent groups).

The executive summaries have been the mostlime-challenged e lement of the three-part rrlsult package delivered to the
districts and have, in the past, required up to four months to complete from the time that the comparative state data are
available. Since 2004 survey' the executive summary component has been selectively rewritten to cut down on the
amount of editing that will be required and reformatted. The new version of the summary is more reader friendly and
incorporates many graphics into the text of the document. Due to the revisions the lag time between release of ihe
comparative statewide data and the mailing of the executive summary component in ZbOO will be dramatically reduced.
As in each of the proceeding years, PPRI will attempt to meet specific needs of individual districts where at ail possible,

The same general format for district reports will be used as for the 2004 survey. Three report formats will be produced
to
accommodate small (up to 30 students per grade), medium (31-90 students pei grade), uni lurg" school districis (90+
students per grade). State data for elementary-level comparisons will be run foi each grade-siie category
fo,- gruies four
through six and grades four and five. Statewide data will also be generated and produied for secondury]t..',r.t-
comparisons for grades seven through twelve, nine through twelve, and grades eight, ten, and twelve.

Reporting Requirements

PPRI will keep DSHS fully informed regarding progress of both state and local surveys. Monthly reports will be sent to
DSHS detailing current activities, upcoming activities, problems, and unresolved issues as well u, pertinent
information. "ny

Costs Associated with the Surveys
