A recent survey conducted by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services indicates a decline in alcohol use and depression rates among children in Summit County. The Utah Student Health and Risk Prevention survey, commonly referred to as the SHARP survey, is administered every two years through local school districts. This year, it included students from sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth grades, collecting data on mental health, substance use, screen time, and vaping habits. All three school districts in Summit County—Park City, North Summit, and South Summit—participated in this year's survey. Results show that the percentage of students who reported previous alcohol usage dropped from 25.5% in 2023 to 20.6% in 2025, a notable decrease of 5%. Similarly, marijuana use among students fell from 16.6% to 9.7%, and vaping rates decreased from 15.2% to 9.6% over the same period. Despite these positive trends, the survey also revealed a rise in the use of nicotine pouches, which increased from 3.7% in 2023 to 8.2% in 2025 among students. This finding highlights the evolving nature of youth substance use and indicates areas that require ongoing attention and intervention. In terms of mental health, the survey results were encouraging. In 2025, 44.8% of children reported no symptoms of depression, a significant increase from 27.5% in 2023. In comparison, the state average stands at 36.3%, indicating that Summit County students are faring better than their peers statewide. These findings suggest that preventative measures and educational initiatives in the county may be effective in addressing substance use and mental health issues. Continued community engagement is essential to ensure the well-being of the youth in Summit County. The complete results of the SHARP survey and additional information can be accessed online.
