Abstract
The North Dakota (ND) Department of Human Service, Behavioral Health Division (BHD), contracted with the Wyoming Survey and Analysis Center (WYSAC) at the University of Wyoming to conduct the third iteration of the North Dakota Survey of Young Adults (NDSOYA). This survey was part of a larger project called the ND Partnerships for Success Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (ND PFS). The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded the PFS grant to BHD in 2015. As part of that project, the BHD was tasked with maintaining a data workgroup called the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW). Using some of the PFS funds designated to fund unique data collection for the SEOW, the BHD contracted with WYSAC to conduct the NDSOYA beginning in 2016, with subsequent survey administrations in 2018 and 2020. The survey's major topics included alcohol use, misuse of prescription drugs, marijuana use, and mental health concerns. It tracked trends and changes in these topics over time and served as a public health surveillance measure for young adults, ages 18 to 29.
