Every two years, M.A.D.E. in Madison, and Madison Youth and Family Services partner with the Madison Public Schools to administer the Search Institute’s Attitudes and Behaviors Survey to students in grades 9-12.

This well-researched and well-regarded survey tool, taken anonymously by students, tracks developmental assets (basic building block of human development) along with high risk behaviors such as drug and alcohol use, riding in a car with someone who has been drinking, violence and more.
