What is Three to Succeed?
The Fairfax County Youth Survey results indicate that when children and youth have three or more positive, protective factors/assets in their lives, they are more likely to manage stress, make better choices, and develop healthy habits.
The graphs on this page show how students' behaviors vary in relation to their number of assets. For example, select the "Alcohol" category to see how the percentage of students that use alcohol changes based on their number of assets.
The Six Assets in this Graph Are...
- Can Ask Parents for Help with Personal Problems
- Performs Community Service Once a Month or More
- Feels It Is Important to Accept Responsibility for Actions
- Does Extracurricular Activities Once a Month or More
- Teachers Recognize Good Work
- Could Talk to Adults in Community about Something Important
