National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (NYRBS)

The National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (NYRBS) is a biennial survey conducted in the United States that collects data on health-related behaviors among youth, typically grades 9-12. It assesses various issues such as substance use, mental health, dietary habits, and physical activity. The goal is to gain insights into factors affecting the health and safety of young people, helping inform policies and programs aimed at improving their well-being. By tracking trends over time, the NYRBS provides valuable information for educators, healthcare providers, and policymakers to address the needs of adolescents effectively.
