AVS data is also presented in the the Sitka Youth Leadership Committee Video which focuses on young people and promotes healthy relationships (see below). The video presents data from the 2010 Statewide Alaska Victimization Survey and the 2010 Olweus Bulling Questionnaire/Blatchley Middle School Report. It notes the relationship between domestic violence and bullying, and documents a conversation about bullying and its antidote: community, connection, and belonging. The video was uploaded to vimeo.com in summer 2012.
