Youth Risk Behavior Survey:

1. ND Dept. of Public Instruction

The YRBS was developed in 1990 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor priority health risk behaviors that contribute markedly to the leading causes of death, disability, and social problems among youth and adults in the United States. These behaviors, often established during childhood and early adolescence, include: tobacco use; unhealthy dietary behaviors; inadequate physical activity, alcohol and other drug use; sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection; and behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence. The YRBS was designed to: monitor trends; compare North Dakota Youth to national sample; and plan, evaluate, and improve community programs. The survey is conducted with students in grades 7-8 & 9-12, and is conducted during the spring of odd years. Questions are similar for the two groups, but high school students (9-12) are asked more questions. For comparisons between states and across years, see #2 below.
