The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) collects information about six types of health-risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults in the United States, including: (1) Behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence; (2) Sexual behaviors related to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitting diseases, including HIV infection; (3) Tobacco use; (4) Unhealthy dietary behaviors; and (5) Inadequate physical activity. YRBSS also monitors the prevalence of obesity and asthma. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey is conducted during the spring of odd-numbered years and the results are typically released in the summer of the following year. Participating sites may vary from year to year; refer to the Methods page for guidance from the CDC on best practices for combining data from multiple survey years.
The NYC Middle School Youth Risk Behavior Survey (MS YRBS) is conducted through an ongoing collaboration between the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the Department of Education (DOE), and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The New York City's YRBS is part of the CDC's National Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS).
