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.

Violence and Aggression Correlation to ATOD Use
Fairfax County 2011 Youth Survey
24
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.
24
Fairfax County 2011 Youth Survey
25
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.
