Prevention Education Pre-test Survey for Girls (12-17)– Part 1

We are asking you to complete this survey because you are a participant in a program for girls. This survey asks your thoughts, your behaviors and knowledge about health. Your responses will be combined with the responses of other girls to help us learn whether programs like the one that you are in help girls.

Please answer these questions based on what you think and feel, as honestly as possible. Your information will help us learn what parts of the program work best for girls and what can be done better.



Your answers will be kept private. Do not write your name anywhere on the survey. You will be asked to create a special code that you will use on all surveys. GEARS, Inc is the company that will handle all of the surveys. Your answers are private to the extent permitted by law. Also, completing this survey is completely voluntary which means that you can choose whether or not you want to fill out the survey. You can also choose not to answer any question on the survey. Choosing not to fill out the survey or answer a question will not affect your participation in the program. Thank you again.
