- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) has the responsibility to monitor priority health risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among youth and young adults in the United States. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) was developed to handle this requirement. The YRBSS monitors six behavioral categories: 1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injury and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3) alcohol and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection; 5) dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. The YRBSS also monitors obesity and asthma in addition to theses six behaviors. The YRBSS consists of biennial national, state, territorial, and local school-based surveys of representative samples of 9th through 12th students. All school-based surveys are conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The school-based surveys are conducted by state, local, and territorial education and health agencies as part of a cooperative agreement (CDC-RFA-DP08-801) with DASH.
