The Minnesota Stu�ent Survey is administered every three years to stu ents in gra es six, nine and twelve. The find�ings below are based on trend�s uncovered over the past several ye rs of the MSS, and compare 2007 MSS data to data collected in 2004, 2001 and before. In a ition, these findings are also compared by grade level and in most cases, by garner. In 2007, cigarette smoking decreased among most Roseville area stu�ents with the exception of twelfth grade females which took a �ramatic increase since 2004. Marijuana use declined somewhat in 2007 r ono all levels of Roseville stu�ents after marked increases in 2004. Howe�ver, alcohol use and sexual activity increased among both male and female 12 th grade stu ents in 2007. 2007 MSS data also show that there were �ramatic �ecreases among ninth grade male and fernale, and sixth grade male Roseville stu�ents having suicidal thoughts and attempts. Howe�ver, there was not much change from 2004 among twelfth grade males and fernales, and sixth grade fernale stu ents having suicidal thoughts and attempts. The inci ents of thre tening or viole rt behavior (kicking, biting and hitting) among all Roseville stu�ents at school decreased in 2007 from 2004. However, there was a slight decrease in twelfth graders reporting they feel safe in school in 2007, as wee as a �ecrease in twelfth graders reporting that "none or fewer" inci�ents of stu�ents threatening other students of a different race occurred at their school.
