The program sorts youth into four different groups based on their scores of the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS). The SURPS was developed by VentureLab and is only used for the pruposes of determining youth groups in the PreVenture program. The online SURPS tool will ask the youth their name, then require them to complete a 23-item personality questionnaire. These scores are stored in a Google Drive owned by Overdose Lifeline and deleted one year after collection.

However, we use non-identifying and aggregate information when sharing this information with staff or contractors. For example, we may tell staff that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

The youths’ scores on the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS) will be used to determine which of the four personality workshops would be most relevant: 1) Impulsivity, 2) Sensation Seeking, 3) Anxiety Sensitivity, and 4) Negative Thinking. Licensed facilitators partnered with the youths’ school/organization will be the contact for distribution and processing of results. These scores are stored in a Google Drive owned by Overdose Lifeline and deleted one year after collection.
