Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Decatur Prevention Initiative, in partnership with DeKalb Community Promise (DCP) Drug Free Community Coalition, is surveying parents to learn more about their beliefs and perceptions regarding underage drinking and substance use. The results of this survey will be shared with you through community-wide messaging and activities.
This survey is anonymous. Your responses cannot be traced to you. No one will know how you answered the items in the survey. Please answer the questions based on what you actually think and do. Completing the survey is voluntary. You may skip any question you choose not to answer.
When answering the items in this survey, please think about your child(ren)/grandchildren.
Thank you so much for providing us with this valuable information to help us better address youth alcohol and substance abuse in Decatur. SURVEY LINK
