Fact Sheets and Powerpoint Presentations
A series of fact sheets on a variety of topics from the 2008 AHS IV will be added to the site by September 2010. Keep checking back for updates!
Fact Sheets offer research results on a variety of topics using the most recent Adolescent Health Survey data. Some of the Fact Sheets offer a summary of a more detailed report written on a particular topic area. Others, such as the Marijuana Fact Sheet, present detailed analysis only published in the Fact Sheet. McCreary grants permission to duplicate these fact sheets.
