Acton-Boxborough Parent Survey Results

Read the SUMMARY REPORT

ABCHY & CAFY collaborated last spring to conduct a survey of Acton-Boxborough parents of teens. The survey focused on what parents are doing to promote the health and wellness of their teens and to reduce risky teen behavior. It also focused on the major concerns that parents have related to this topic and what they believe that parents, the schools, ABCHY and CAFY, and the community-at-large should do to help ensure the health and wellness of our teens. Three-hundred-and-thirty-eight parents of 6th-12th grade students completed the survey.
