Factsheets

CalSCHLS Factsheets summarize the results of analyses of statewide data conducted on different topics. They provide context to help understand local survey results and the value of the data, as well as provide statewide norms for comparison with local results. Among the topics covered is how CHKS results vary based on race/ethnicity, the level of developmental support, and whether youth experience bias-related harassment, chronic sadness, and suicide ideation; are in foster care or attend continuation high schools; and are involved in alcohol, tobacco, or other drug use or other health risks.
