SWYS - 1994 Acknowledgements

Many people contributed assistance and support to the Grant County Teen Assessment Project (SWYS) report.  They realized the need and value of local data on risk behaviors affecting youth.   

Special thanks to teachers who cooperated in the administration of the survey, the parents who allowed their children to participate and the 2,423 students who gave their thoughtful responses. 

The school SWYS coordinators need to be recognized for the hours spent evaluating the survey, gathering input from students, teachers, administrators, and parents.  Their efforts also include coordinating the administration of SWYS in the school.  The school SWYS coordinators are: 

  • Barb Cnare and Caron Townsend - Bloomington 
  • Bruce Boyum - Cassville 
  • Nicholene Crick - Fennimore  
  • Angela Belken - Iowa-Grant 
  • Steve Curley, Lori Morris, Ron Meissner and Gary   Swanstrom - Lancaster 
  • Luann Gerth, Gail Steiner and Steve Lozeau - Potosi 
  • Steve Elvidge, Tom Hansen & Paul Velsor - Southwestern 
  • Margo King - West Grant 

Other Acknowledgments include: 

  • School Administration and School Boards of Bloomington, Cassville, Fennimore, Iowa-Grant, Lancaster, Potosi, Southwestern and West Grant, who approved the use of the SWYS survey.
  • Principals, teachers and staff of participating schools who cooperated in the administration of the survey.
  • The Grant County Board of Supervisors' Agriculture and Extension Education Committee for supporting this project.
  • Diane Hutchinson, CESA 3 for input on the questionnaire. 
  • Ching-ru Wu, Doctoral Student, Department of Educational Psychology, & Kathleen Rogers - Doctoral student, Department of Child and Family Studies, UW-Madison, who provided on-going assistance and technical support to the project.
  • Ann L. McLean, Family Living Education/Social Work Program, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, who reviewed and assisted with the analysis of the HIV Risk Factors chapter.
