Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Toolkit

CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors priority health behaviors and experiences among high school students across the country. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) results help in understanding the factors that contribute to the leading causes of illness, death and disability among youth and young adults. From this page you can access resources to educate partners, stakeholders and community members about adolescent health risk behaviors and experiences.
