Results

The following results represent data collected during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015-16. Percentages over 50% are shaded to aid in interpretation. Results from questions that allow respondents to mark “all that apply” may not add to 100% because each respondent may mark more than one answer. The percentages for those types of survey items represent the number of responses divided by the total number of responses for the particular item. Reported percentages in the narratives are rounded to the nearest whole number; please consult the relevant tables for more precise percentages. Percentages in tables may not add to 100% due to missing data for the survey item.

La Frontera returned 117 Street Surveys, with 59.1% youth and 40.9% adults. Of those, 51.8% were female, 57.3% Hispanic, and 31.7% reporting their race as White. A majority (73.3%) indicated that underage drinking was a problem in their community. When asked if they were aware of messages regarding alcohol and drugs, 52.2% said they were aware, and of those who were aware of messages, 42.0% said they would not change their behavior as a result of the messages. Only one-third (36.6%) said there was "great risk" with youth having five or more drinks. A third (33.3%) said it would be "very easy" for youth to obtain alcohol in the community. The top choice for the types of events where youth get alcohol was at a party with friends and no adults present (80.4%).

Turning to marijuana usage by youth, under half were aware of messages regarding the harmful effects of marijuana (47.4%). Under a quarter (23.4%) thought it would be "very hard" for youth to obtain marijuana, and when asked the types of events where youth obtain marijuana 73.4% indicated parties with friends and no adults present.
