2024 Young Adult Survey

SAFE would like your assistance is disseminating the Young Adult Survey (YAS) this year. Please see a description of the survey below and links to both the English and Spanish versions. The deadline for completion is September 20th. I have also attached a copy of the YAS flyers with a QR code to the survey links.

SAFE is asking Chesterfield County residents, aged 16 to 25, to share their opinions about alcohol, prescription drug misuse, marijuana use, and heroin use as we work to decrease alcohol and drug-impaired driving related crashes.

This survey should take 10 minutes or less to complete, and participants will be entered for a chance to win a $50 Visa Gift card!
