Numerous counties across the state, including Montgomery County, received limited responses to a student survey.

 

The annual Kansas Communities that Care survey, which provides valuable information regarding health risk behaviors and opinions of students on drug misuse, was released in March.

 

Wellness Coalition Community Mobilizer Molly Rains says the county received a very low response rate compared to previous years.

 

A primary reason for the limited data from the survey is the changes in legislature. Rains says that Montgomery County was not the only county that experienced low numbers.
