The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) results. This survey was developed to monitor high school students’ health and risk behaviors that contribute to death, disability, and social problems.
The data and documentation from the national survey are now available, along with the updated web applications YRBS Explorer and YRBS Analysis Tool. The survey includes new measures related to sexual orientation, social media use, school discipline, and experiences of racism in school. This is the first time a supplemental sample of American Indian/Alaska Native students has been included.
