The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)

The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is part of the National Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System created and managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

This statewide survey is designed to monitor six categories of health-related behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults, including—

  • Behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence
  • Sexual behaviors related to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection
  • Alcohol and other drug use
  • Tobacco use
  • Unhealthy dietary behaviors
  • Inadequate physical activity

YRBS also measures the prevalence of obesity and asthma and other health-related behaviors plus sexual identity and sex of sexual contacts.

All Nebraska public schools are eligible to participate. In a random sample of schools, students from a random sample of 9th-12th grade classes are asked to complete the YRBS.  Nebraska has been administered in Nebraska biannually since 1991.
