Data, Data and More Data…..
All of our prevention work in Stoughton is based on DATA! We are fortunate that the Stoughton Public Schools also value health data and partner with us to conduct surveys of Middle and High School students at least every other year. Below you will find some of the resources we have developed to make the data easier to understand. If you have questions about the data or would like to learn more, please reach out to us!
