Three to Succeed
Fairfax County 2014 Youth Survey
Three to Succeed
The Three to Succeed concept is based on the youth
survey analysis that shows how just having three assets (or
strengths) dramatically reduces risk behaviors and
promotes thriving youth.
Assets are strengths in young people, their families, schools
and communities that help them thrive in health, in school
and daily life, and in a safe environment. The more assets
an individual has in their lives, the fewer risk behaviors are
reported.

questions are about bullying. Bullying is when 1 or more
students tease, threaten, spread rumors about, hit, shove,
or hurt another student over and over again. It is not
bullying when 2 students of about the same strength or
power argue or fight or tease each other in a friendly way.

Chronic Bullying Correlations
Fairfax County 2014 Youth Survey
Correlation Data
• Cross-tabulations are when we look at the
way students responded to multiple
questions, for example when we look at
results by demographics such as symptoms of
depression by gender or the cross of two
experiences such as symptoms of depression
by substance use.
Cross-tabulations of data do not imply cause
and effect.
Fairfax County 2014 Youth Survey
2424
Correlation Data
• The results do not imply that being a certain gender
or using substances causes depression. The data
indicate there is a correlation of the female gender
reporting higher prevalence of reported depressive
symptoms.
• Similarly, youth who use substances are more likely
to report symptoms of depression, but the results do
NOT show if substance use causes depression or if
depression leads to substance use.

Risk and Protective Factors
Risk Factors help us explain
circumstances that may
increase the likelihood of
problem behaviors
Youth who exhibit increased amounts of a risk factor
are considered to be at “high risk” in that category
Fairfax County 2014 Youth Survey

Risk and Protective Factors
Protective Factors can help
increase resiliency to substance
use and problem behaviors,
buffering youth from risk
Youth who exhibit increased amounts of a protective factor
are considered to have “high protection” in that
category
