RESULTS OF THE 2008 STUDENT SUBSTANCE USE AND SAFETY

SURVEY
AUSTIN HIGH SCHOOL
Description of Survey
The federal Title IV Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities grant requires annual needs
assessment and evaluation of substance use and safety issues. Consequently, each year, a self-report
student survey of substance use and school safety is administered to a random, representative sample of
AISD students. The survey is used to track student knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behavior over
time. In the Spring of 2008 a sample of 8,436 students in grades 6-12 submitted valid responses to the
district’s annual survey of substance use and safety issues, yielding a response rate of 73%.1 Selected item
results are attached. These results should be shared with your Positive Behavior Support (PBS) team, the
Campus Advisory Council, and others involved in campus safety planning efforts for your school.
How should sample data be interpreted?
When it is not feasible to survey an entire population, samples are used instead. However, when a sample
is used to make inferences about a population the results must be interpreted with caution. For example,
although 87% of a sample may select a particular survey response, this does not necessarily mean 87% of
the entire population feels the same way. To interpret the sample data cautiously, we have used the
following information to construct an interval that describes the range within which the result for your
campus population is likely to fall:
 Population size: In this case, the number of students at your campus.
 Sample size: In this case, the number of survey respondents from your campus.
 Desired level of confidence: In this case, 95%.
The 95% confidence interval is commonly used, indicating that you can be 95% confident that the true
population result will fall within the constructed interval.
How should Confidence Intervals be used to interpret your campus data?
Based on the Austin HS sample of 305 students and population enrollment of 2202, the confidence
interval for Austin HS is + and – 5%.
To make inferences about your campus population using the sample data, the results should be interpreted
with the computed confidence interval of 5% on each side of the sample statistics. For example, 7% of
respondents from your campus indicated that student fighting and physical aggression is the most serious
problem on your campus. Applying the confidence interval (i.e., adding and subtracting 5%) to the 7%
yields a range of 2% to 12%. Therefore, you can be 95% confident that somewhere between 2% and 12%
of all students at your campus would indicate that student fighting and physical aggression is the most
serious problem on your campus.
When making comparisons between item results from year to year, please remember that small changes
may have occurred by chance alone. The confidence interval for 2007 is 5%. Therefore, only differences
of 10% or greater (5%+5%) should be considered statistically significant when comparing the results
from two different years.
