Communities for Youth Blaine County is thrilled to announce the release of our 2026 Data Snapshot for youth depression.
This snapshot provides an overview of one of the mental health areas that is affecting a high number of middle and high school students in our county and investigates risk and protective factors for it (risk factors make a negative outcome like depression more likely, while protective factors protect against it/make it less likely).
We invite you to download, print, and share this resource (available in both English and Spanish). Whether you’re a parent, teacher, coach, faith leader, student, or just a concerned community member, this data has meaning for you and can be used to help build the best possible community for Blaine’s young people.
Other Youth Well-being Data Resources
The youth depression snapshot was created using data from Blaine County’s 2026 administration of the Idaho Youth Well-being Survey (IYWS). 2026 was the third year middle and high school students from Blaine County participated in this survey. Other materials related to Blaine County’s IYWS include:
2025 Community Data Walk Slides (in-person event was December 4, 2025)
