  7. How do we know the results are valid? Use questions from established youth surveys. Standard administration: • Student and parental notification. • Standardized administration procedures (e.g., coordinator training, teacher training, written instructions, teacher stays in room but at desk, single class period to avoid discussion, absent students do not make up). • Survey is anonymous. • Students informed of importance of the survey. • Students place own answer sheet in envelope. Data cleaning: • Remove surveys with multiple inconsistent answers, evidence of faking a high level of use, dishonesty.
