The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) monitors students' health risks and behaviors in several categories, including weight and diet, physical activity, injury and violence, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, and sexual behaviors.  The YRBS is conducted every 2 years among a representative group of New York students in grades 9-12. 

The NYS Center for School Health (NYSCSH) conducts the YRBS in NYS on behalf of the NYS Education Department (NYSED). Click the link below to see the 2021 YRBS infographics.
