Michigan Profile for Healthy Youth (MiPHY)
The Michigan Profile for Healthy Youth (MiPHY) was completed by 7, 9, and 11th grade students in Barry County and in several other counties across the state of Michigan. The results in this report reflect student survey responses from schools that voluntarily participated in Barry County and may not be representative of all middle and high schools in the county. Students completed an online, anonymous questionnaire. Survey procedures were designed to protect the privacy of students by allowing for anonymous and voluntary participation. Local parental notification procedures were followed before survey administration. Additional data can be accessed at This representation of MiPHY data only represents Barry County

Measurement Concerns Despite the support and redesign of the MiPHY provided by the Michigan Department of Education, the survey has a few issues that indicate coalitions should interpret their results with caution because of the following concerns: “Respondent confusion” - especially for 7th grade students who may not have heard of some of the drugs mentioned. “Respondent fatigue” – a lot of personal questions are asked in a short period of time. Poor wording – some of the survey items list multiple drugs in one question, posing a variety of possible errors in interpretation by the students. Changes in the 2014 tool create a less than perfect comparison to the waves collected in 2010 and 2012. Additional Recommendation: Listening Sessions should be conducted to better understand student perceptions about the MiPHY questions and about drug related attitudes and behavior.

Overall Recommendations
Despite the good news of improvement in the attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana, these gateway drugs are still the drugs of choice for area teens. Thus, continued and sustained efforts addressing these drugs is needed. Because of the significant change in youth’s perceptions of the low risk of using marijuana and the Medical Marijuana laws in Michigan, a concerted effort to address youth attitudes and use is warranted. To get a more accurate understanding of youth perceptions and behaviors, “Listening Sessions” should be conducted at as many schools or community locations as possible.
