EPIC: Frequently Asked Questions for Students
-
The survey has questions about stress, social media use, your neighborhood, school environment, friendships, and your thoughts on substances.
-
Your survey responses are never shared with anyone. Your responses are linked to a random number, not your name or any information that can identify you. Your answers are private and are stored with thousands of other student responses and only used for this research.
-
It is your choice to take the survey.
-
If there is a question that makes you feel uncomfortable, you can always skip it. There are no questions that you have to answer.
-
All students who complete the survey in October have a chance to win a $50 gift card.
-
All survey responses are combined to better understand trends of student opinions. For example, we learn things like how many students use social media daily. We share this information with other researchers interested in how trends change over time.

This study started during the 2024 school year.
