| Methodology of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System — 2013 |
|
| |
|
| The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), established in 1991, monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among youths and young adults. YRBSS data are obtained from a national school-based survey conducted by CDC as well as school-based state, territorial, tribal, and large urban school district surveys conducted by education and health agencies. These surveys have been conducted biennially since 1991 and include representative samples of students in grades 9–12. This report updates a description of the YRBSS methodology that was published in 2004 and provides additional information about this surveillance system. |
