Youth Survey Questions
Hi,
In our YRBS high school survey, we added this question in 2023: “During the past 30 days, how did you usually get the marijuana you used?” We ended up with our Other category being the largest group. If other states are asking a similar question on their youth surveys, I’d love to know what your response options are and what your data looks like. If you'd prefer to email me the info, my email is hayley.peterson@doh.nm.gov. Thanks!

Here in Colorado we ask this question on our Healthy Kids Colorado Survey and don't include an "other" category. Here are the ones we do have; I bought it at a marijuana store or center, I bought it from someone, I took it, I used a marijuana delivery service, Someone over the age of 21 gave it to me, and Someone under the age of 21 gave it to me.
