Question:
Hello, I am looking for studies and charts that weigh the effect of each of the risk and protective factors on:
1. Positive youth mental health development and
2. Youth substance abuse
Do you have any resources or data that talks about the odds ratios of each of the risk and protective factors on behaviors?
Answer:

Dear Ms. Laws,
The Community Toolbox does not gather data or studies and charts, so I'm afraid we won't be able to provide you with any of those resources or data.
You might visit the following web sites which may have some of the information you are seeking:
http://www.samhsa.gov/
http://www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/yrbs/index.htm
http://www.findyouthinfo.gov/youth-topics/substance-abuse/risk-and-prote...
I hope these help to get you started.
