In the fall of 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2021 students in the 6th, 8th, and 11th grades across the state of Iowa answered questions about their attitudes and experiences regarding alcohol and other drug use and violence, and their perceptions of their peer, family, school, and neighborhood/community environments. In 2008 the survey was administered online for the first time.

Iowa Youth Survey reports list responses to every question on the survey, providing total percentages and breakdowns by grade and gender. Reports in 2016 and 2018 include trend data on several variables instead of separate trend reports.
