CDC provides funding for state, territorial, and local education agencies; state health agencies; and tribal governments to establish or strengthen systematic procedures to monitor critical health-related behaviors among high-school students through implementation of the YRBS. CDC/DASH-funded partners are

  • Completing the YRBS on a biannual basis to obtain health risk behavior data representative of students in grades 9–12 in their jurisdiction.
  • Communicating and disseminating data results through a variety of methods to government officials; state, territorial, tribal government, and local agencies; nongovernmental organizations; institutions of higher education; institutions targeting underserved or at-risk populations; the media; and the general public.
  • Using YRBS data to help develop and improve programs and policies for youth and to identify health disparities impacting youth.
  • Establishing and maintaining effective partnerships with stakeholders that can help promote, implement, disseminate, and use YRBS data for policy and program improvement.
