Youth Risk Behavior Survey

Have you ever had to answer questions about yourself? Maybe your teacher asked what your favorite color is or your parent asked what you want to do when you grow up. Well, the Youth Risk Behavior Survey is kind of like that, but with more serious questions.

The Youth Risk Behavior Survey is a big question sheet that is given to young people in the United States in middle and high school. It asks questions about their behavior and thoughts on things like drinking, drugs, sex, and violence.

Lots of grown-ups care about how young people are doing and what they're experiencing. By collecting information from lots of different young people, we can learn more about what's going on in their lives and make better decisions on how to help them if they need it.

So, the Youth Risk behavior survey is a tool that helps grown-ups understand what young people are doing and feeling. It's a way to keep everyone healthy and safe.
