What is the Youth Risk Behavior Survey?
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey was created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1990 to determine how common certain behaviors are among today’s young people. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey looks at those health behaviors that have the greatest impacts on a person’s health and well-being.
