The SmartTrack

SmartTrack™ is an Internet-based data collection, needs assessment, and evaluation tool for schools, districts and states. It is being offered as a more efficient and accurate alternative to the current slate of pencil and paper assessments on student substance abuse and other risk and protective factors. Results will be immediately available to you, and research has shown that computer surveys, by increasing students' feeling of anonymity, render higher, more accurate self-reporting than pencil/paper surveys. This information will be useful in identifying and addressing any problem areas, and reporting this data is now required as part of receiving Federal Funds (Title IV, et al). On behalf of DREAM, The Data Integration Group (DIG) markets, and provides training to school districts in more than 15 states.
