Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWRs)
Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance—Selected Steps Communities, 2005
February 23, 2007 / 56 / No. SS02
MMWR Introduction
The Steps to a Healthier U.S. Cooperative Agreement Program (Steps Program) is a national,
multilevel chronic disease prevention effort coordinated by CDC. Through this program, Steps
communities (i.e., small cities or rural areas whose activities are coordinated by a state health
department, large cities or urban areas, and tribes or tribal entities) receive funds to implement
chronic disease prevention and health promotion activities focused on reducing the burden of obesity,
diabetes, and asthma and addressing three related risk behaviors: unhealthy dietary behaviors, physical
inactivity, and tobacco use.
This report summarizes results from the 15 Steps communities funded in FY 2003 that obtained weighted
data for the 2005 YRBSS cycle and granted CDC permission to publish their data. Results from the community
surveys with unweighted data are not included in this report. All weighted surveys were conducted during
spring 2005.
