Population-based data on the most important health-related behaviors at the national, state, and local levels can be …

However, not enough is known about health-related behaviors that contribute to negative health outcomes among sexual minority youth and how the prevalence of these health-related behaviors compare with the prevalence of health-related behaviors among nons…

High School Student Responses to Different Question Formats Assessing Race/Ethnicity
The Association of Survey Setting and Mode with Self-Reported Health Risk Behaviors among High School Students
This study examined whether the prevalence of self-reported health risk behaviors among high school students varied by survey setting (school versus home) and mode of administration (paper and pencil versus computer). Students in grades 9 and 11 were assigned randomly to one of four conditions—school paper-and-pencil instrument (PAPI), school computer-assisted self-interview (CASI), home PAPI, and home CASI. During the spring of 2004, 4,506 stude…

The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System: Measuring Health-risk Behaviors
YRBSS data are used to improve policies and programs to reduce priority health-risk behaviors among youth
Results From the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey
Results from the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey, which monitored health risk behaviors among US college and university undergraduates, suggest that many students' behaviors increase their likelihood of adverse health outcomes. During the 30 days preceding the survey, 34% of the participants had consumed five or more alcoholic drinks on at least one occasion, and 27% had drunk alcohol and driven a car. Thirty-one percent had smo…
Reliability of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey Questionnaire
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has been used on a biennial basis since 1990 to measure health risk behaviors of high school students nationwide. The YRBS measures behaviors related to intentional and unintentional injury, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual activity, diet, and physical activity. The authors present the results from a test-retest reliability study of the YRBS, conduct…

Changes in HIV-related information sources, instruction, knowledge, and behaviors among US high school students, 1989 and 1990
OBJECTIVES. Few data have been available among adolescents to determine behavioral changes that may prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This analysis examines changes in the prevalence of self-reported HIV-related information sources, instruction, knowledge, and behaviors among high school students in the United States. METHODS. Two independent, multistage national probability samples of students in grades 9 through 12 were surv…
Substance use and HIV-related sexual behaviors among US high school students: Are they related
OBJECTIVES. This study was undertaken to examine whether use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and other illicit drugs is related to the likelihood of sexual behaviors that increase risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among youth. METHODS. The 1990 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey was used to collect self-reported information about a broad range of health risk behaviors from a representative sample of 11,631 high sc…
HIV instruction, HIV knowledge, and drug injection among high school students in the United States
BACKGROUND. The prevalence of HIV-related behaviors and determinants of these behaviors among adolescents in the United States have not been well studied. METHODS. To determine the prevalence of HIV-related drug behaviors and to assess the effects of HIV-related school-based instruction and HIV knowledge on these behaviors, data were analyzed from a 39-item, self-administered questionnaire completed by a probability sample of all students in grad…
