You can now get a summary of your local MYDAUS/YTS 2006 data in one, easily-printable, 30-page report. Reports are available at the school and school district level, as well as for Maine counties and the three OSA regions. These reports include trends in the use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and other selected substances as far back as 2000. Each result is compared to the corresponding Maine data, and significant differences are noted.

Additional information is also available in the original report formats. If you are having trouble printing any of these, here are tips to help you get better results:

On this website, we have provided a great deal of data to help you plan and evaluate your substance abuse prevention programs. Regretfully, there is no way to quickly print all of the data for a geographic area (i.e. state, county, district, or school) due to the extent of the information provided.

Because individual data selections must be printed one at a time, we suggest that you look over the data on-line and print only what seems most appropriate for your purposes.

A new addition to the website, Summary Reports, provides state, county and regional data in each table along with a break down for grade, gender and race. One of the selections, Full Report of Substances, includes "Lifetime Use" and "Previous 30-Day Use" for each substance, as well as the proportion of students reporting "Prohibited" and "Pro-social" behaviors. These tables can be printed as one selection.

A printed report with the compilation of the "overall" results will be available by the end of October.

Some users have experienced various problems when trying to print reports from the MYDAUS website. Here are some tips to help you get better results.

Problem: The right side the graph keeps getting cut off when printing.
Solution: Your web browser needs to be configured to use smaller margins. To change this setting look under 'Page Setup'. This is found under the File menu in most web browsers. Change the Left Margin and the Right Margin to '0.25'.

Problem: When trying to print the graph shows up blank.
Solution: This problem is browser dependant. Some browsers have problems printing images that are dynamically generated on the web. The best solution is to either upgrade your existing browser or to try an alternative one. We have had reported success with Internet Explorer 5.5 and above, Netscape 6 and above, Mozilla 1.0, and Opera 6.0.

If you have a printing problem that is not solved above, please contact us.
