Iowa Youth Survey (IYS)

List items for Iowa Youth Survey (IYS)

Every two years, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) partners with Iowa school districts to administer the Iowa Youth Survey (IYS). The IYS is an important source of data on adolescent health behaviors and experiences. For decades, Iowa schools and parents have supported participation in the IYS. Hundreds of thousands of Iowa adolescents have shared information on their health-related experiences. 

Data collected through the IYS may be used to inform health-related lesson planning, increase adult-student connections, and prevent outcomes like dropout, while promoting outcomes such as success in academics, graduation, and post-secondary outcomes.

The 2025 Iowa Youth Survey will be administered Fall 2025. School districts will be receiving information in early 2025.
