Perceptions, Attitudes, and Behaviors Concerning Opioids and Stimulants Among High
School Youth in Rural Montana
In 2020, our team applied for and received another SAMHSA grant allowing us to provide
opioid AND
stimulant use and misuse education, outreach, and training to rurally located Montana
youth and adults who
frequently interact with them. To inform the development of the youth-based outreach

resources, a statewide survey was distributed to rural high schools.
