However, Hispanic Students Not Showing Progress in Some Key Areas
“We are pleased that more high school students today are doing things that will help them stay healthy and avoiding things that put their health in danger,” said Howell Wechsler, Ed.D., MPH, director of CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health. “Unfortunately, we are not seeing that same progress among Hispanic teens for certain risk factors.” Listen to CDC's A Minute of Health podcast featuring YRBS results. An interview with Dr. Wechsler is also available on CDC's A Cup of Health podcast. Read more from Dr.
Wechsler on his WebMD blog:
