Abstract
Problem: Priority health-risk behaviors, which are behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality
among youth and adults, often are established during childhood and adolescence, extend into adulthood, and are interrelated
and preventable.
Reporting Period Covered: September 2010December 2011.
Description of the System: The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority health-risk
behaviors among youth and young adults: 1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use;
3) alcohol and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; 5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. In
addition, YRBSS monitors the prevalence of obesity and asthma. YRBSS includes a national school-based Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS) conducted by CDC and state and large urban school district school-based YRBSs conducted by state and local
education and health agencies. This report summarizes results from the 2011 national survey, 43 state surveys, and 21 large urban
school district surveys conducted among students in grades 912.
Results: Results from the 2011 national YRBS indicated that many high school students are engaged in priority health-risk
behaviors associated with the leading causes of death among persons aged 1024 years in the United States. During the 30 days
before the survey, 32.8% of high school students nationwide had texted or e-mailed while driving, 38.7% had drunk alcohol,
and 23.1% had used marijuana. During the 12 months before the survey, 32.8% of students had been in a physical fight, 20.1%
had ever been bullied on school property, and 7.8% had attempted suicide. Many high school students nationwide are engaged
in sexual risk behaviors associated with unintended pregnancies and STDs, including HIV infection. Nearly half (47.4%) of
students had ever had sexual intercourse, 33.7% had had sexual intercourse during the 3 months before the survey (i.e., currently
sexually active), and 15.3% had had sexual intercourse with four or more people during their life. Among currently sexually active
students, 60.2% had used a condom during their last sexual intercourse. Results from the 2011 national YRBS also indicate many
high school students are engaged in behaviors associated with the leading causes of death among adults aged 25 years in the
United States. During the 30 days before the survey, 18.1% of high school students had smoked cigarettes and 7.7% had used
smokeless tobacco. During the 7 days before the survey, 4.8% of high school students had not eaten fruit or drunk 100% fruit
juices and 5.7% had not eaten vegetables. Nearly one-third (31.1%) had played video or computer games for 3 or more hours
on an average school day.
Interpretation: Since 1991, the prevalence of many priority health-risk behaviors among high school students nationwide has
decreased. However, many high school students continue to engage in behaviors that place them at risk for the leading causes of
morbidity and mortality. Variations were observed in many health-risk behaviors by sex, race/ethnicity, and grade. The prevalence
of some health-risk behaviors varied substantially among states and large urban school districts.
Public Health Action: YRBS data are used to measure progress toward achieving 20 national health objectives for Healthy People
2020 and one of the 26 leading health indicators; to assess trends in priority health-risk behaviors among high school students;
and to evaluate the impact of broad school and community interventions at the national, state, and local levels. More effective
school health programs and other policy and programmatic
interventions are needed to reduce risk and improve health

Introduction
In the United States, 72% of all deaths among youth and
young adults aged 1024 years result from four causes: motor
vehicle crashes (26%), other unintentional injuries (17%),
homicide (16%), and suicide (13%) (1). Substantial morbidity
and social problems also result from the estimated 410,000
births (2); 517,174 cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis
(3); and 2,036 cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
(4) reported in 2009 among youth aged 1519 years. Among
adults aged 25 years, 57% of all deaths in the United States
result from cardiovascular disease (34%) and cancer (23%) (1).
These leading causes of morbidity and mortality among youth
and adults in the United States are related to six categories of
priority health-risk behaviors: 1) behaviors that contribute to
unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3) alcohol
and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors that contribute to
unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs),
including HIV infection; 5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6)
physical inactivity. These behaviors frequently are interrelated
and are established during childhood and adolescence and extend
into adulthood. To monitor priority health-risk behaviors in
each of these six categories and obesity and asthma among youth
and young adults, CDC developed the Youth Risk Behavior
Surveillance System (YRBSS) (5). YRBSS includes schoolbased national, state, and large urban school district Youth
Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS) conducted among representative
samples of students in grades 912. National, state, and large
urban school district surveys have been conducted biennially
since 1991 (Table 1). Additional information about the YRBSS
is available at http://www.cdc.gov/yrbs.
This report summarizes results from the 2011 national YRBS
and trends in health-risk behaviors during 19912011. Data
from the 43 state and 21 large urban school district surveys
with weighted data for the 2011 YRBSS cycle (Figure) also
are included in this report. Data from the remaining four
state surveys and one large urban school district survey with
unweighted data are not included. Among those with weighted
data for 2011, one state and five large urban school district
surveys were conducted during fall 2010; the national survey,
39 state surveys, and 15 large urban school district surveys
were conducted during spring 2011; and three state surveys
and one large urban school district survey were conducted
during fall 2011.
Methods
Detailed information about the methodology of the national,
state, and large urban school district YRBSs has been described
elsewhere (5).
Sampling
National Youth Risk Behavior Survey
The sampling frame for the 2011 national YRBS consisted
of all regular public and private schools with students in at
least one of grades 912 in the 50 states and the District of
Columbia. The sampling frame was obtained from the Market
Data Retrieval (MDR) database (6). The MDR database
includes information on both public and private schools and
the most recent data from the Common Core of Data from
the National Center for Education Statistics (7). A three-stage
cluster sample design produced a nationally representative
sample of students in grades 912 who attend public and
private schools. The first-stage sampling frame consisted of
1,276 primary sampling units (PSUs), consisting of counties,
subareas of large counties, or groups of smaller, adjacent
counties. The 1,276 PSUs were categorized into 16 strata
according to their metropolitan statistical area (MSA) status
(i.e., urban city) and the percentages of black and Hispanic
students in the PSUs. From the 1,276 PSUs, 57 were sampled
with probability proportional to overall school enrollment size
for the PSU.
In the second stage of sampling, 194 schools with any of
grades 912 were sampled with probability proportional to
school enrollment size. The third stage of sampling consisted
of random sampling in each of grades 912, one or two
classrooms from either a required subject (e.g., English
or social studies) or a required period (e.g., homeroom or
second period). All students in sampled classes were eligible
to participate. Schools, classes, and students that refused to
participate were not replaced.
To enable a separate analysis of data for black and Hispanic
students, three strategies were used to oversample these
students: 1) larger sampling rates were used to select PSUs that
were in high-black and high-Hispanic strata; 2) a modified
measure of size was used to increase the probability of sampling
schools with a disproportionately high minority enrollment;
and 3) two classes per grade, rather than one, were sampled
in schools with a high minority enrollment.
State and Large Urban School District Youth Risk

Behavior Surveys
In 2011, a two-stage cluster sample design was used to
produce a representative sample of public school students in
grades 912 in 41 states and 21 large urban school districts and
of public and private school students in grades 912 in two
states (Ohio and South Dakota). In the first sampling stage,
schools with any of grades 912 were sampled with probability
proportional to school enrollment size in 42 states and four
large urban school districts; all schools with any of grades 912

were invited to participate in one state and 17 large urban

school districts. In the second sampling stage, intact classes
from either a required subject (e.g., English or social studies)
or a required period (e.g., homeroom or second period) were
sampled randomly in 42 states and 21 large urban school
districts, and all students in the sampled classes were eligible
to participate. In one state, all students in sampled schools
were eligible to participate.
Data Collection Procedures and

Questionnaires
Survey procedures for the national, state, and large urban
school district surveys were designed to protect students privacy
by allowing for anonymous and voluntary participation. Before
survey administration, local parental permission procedures were
followed. Students completed the self-administered questionnaire
during one class period and recorded their responses directly on a
computer-scannable booklet or answer sheet. CDCs Institutional
Review Board approved the protocol for the national YRBS.
The 2011 YRBS standard questionnaire contained 86
questions. States and large urban school districts could add
or delete questions from the standard questionnaire. For
the national questionnaire, 11 questions were added to the
standard questionnaire. Skip patterns were not included
in any YRBS questionnaire to protect students privacy by
ensuring all students took about the same amount of time to
complete the questionnaire. For state and large urban school

Data Processing Procedures

and Response Rates
For the 2011 national YRBS, 15,503

The school response rate was 81%; the
student response rate was 87%; the overall response rate was
71% (Table 2).
Data from each state and large urban school district survey were
cleaned and edited for inconsistencies with the same procedures
used for the national data set. The number of completed
questionnaires that failed quality control checks and were excluded
from analysis ranged from 0 to 351 (median: 13) across the state
surveys and from 0 to 231 (median: 13) across the large urban
school district surveys. The student sample sizes ranged from
1,147 to 13,201 (median: 2,170) across the state surveys and from
1,013 to 11,570 (median: 1,767) across the large urban school
district surveys (Table 2). Among the state surveys, the school
response rates ranged from 73% to 100%; student response rates
ranged from 60% to 88%; and overall response rates ranged from
60% to 84%, and among the large urban school district surveys,
the school response rates ranged from 84% to 100%; student
response rates ranged from 61% to 86%; and overall response
rates ranged from 61% to 86% (Table 2).
Race/ethnicity was computed from two questions: 1) Are
you Hispanic or Latino? (response options were yes or no),
and 2) What is your race? (response options were American
Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, black or African American,
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, or white). For the

second question, students could select more than one response

option. For this report, students were classified as Hispanic/
Latino and were referred to as Hispanic if they answered
yes to the first question, regardless of how they answered
the second question. Students who answered, no to the first
question and selected only black or African American to the
second question were classified as black or African American
and are referred to as black. Students who answered no
to the first question and selected only white to the second
question were classified, and were referred to, as white. Race/
ethnicity was classified as missing for students who did not
answer the first question and for students who answered no
to the first question but did not answer the second question.
Students were classified as obese or overweight based on
their body mass index (kg/m2) (BMI), which was calculated
from self-reported height and weight. The BMI values were
compared with sex- and age-specific reference data from the
2000 CDC growth charts (9). Obese was defined as a BMI of
95th percentile for age and sex. Overweight was defined as a
BMI of 85th percentile and <95th percentile for age and sex.
These classifications are not intended to diagnose obesity or
overweight in individual students, but to provide populationlevel estimates of obesity and overweight.
Weighting
For the national YRBS, a weight based on student sex, race/
ethnicity, and grade was applied to each record to adjust for
school and student nonresponse and oversampling of black and
Hispanic students. The overall weights were scaled so that the
weighted count of students equals the total sample size, and
the weighted proportions of students in each grade match the
national population proportions. Therefore, weighted estimates
are representative of all students in grades 912 attending
public and private school in the United States.
State and large urban school district surveys that had a
representative sample of students, appropriate documentation,
and an overall response rate of 60% or higher were weighted.
A weight was applied to each record to adjust for student
nonresponse and the distribution of students by grade, sex, and
race/ethnicity in each jurisdiction. Data from 43 state and 21 large
urban school district surveys were weighted. In 41 states and all
large urban school districts, weighted estimates are representative
of all students in grades 912 attending public schools in each
jurisdiction. In two states (Ohio and South Dakota), weighted
estimates are representative of all students in grades 912
attending public and private schools in each jurisdiction.
Analytic Methods
Statistical analyses were conducted on weighted data using
SAS (10) and SUDAAN (11) software to account for the
complex sampling designs. Prevalence estimates and confidence
intervals were computed for all variables and all data sets. In
addition, for the national YRBS data, t tests were used to
determine pairwise differences between subpopulations (12).
Differences between prevalence estimates were considered
statistically significant if the t test p value was <0.05 for main
effects (sex, race/ethnicity, and grade) and for interactions
(sex by race/ethnicity, sex by grade, race/ethnicity by sex, and
grade by sex). In the results section, only statistically significant
differences in prevalence estimates are reported in the following
order: sex, sex by race/ethnicity, sex by grade, race/ethnicity,
race/ethnicity by sex, grade, and grade by sex.
To identify long-term temporal changes in health-risk
behaviors nationwide, prevalence estimates from the earliest
year of data collection to 2011 for each variable assessed with
identically worded questions in three or more survey years were
examined. Logistic regression analyses were used to account
for all available estimates; control for sex, grade, and racial/
ethnic changes over time; and simultaneously assess orthogonal
linear and quadratic time effects (12). Cubic and other higher
order time effects are not reported here. A quadratic time effect
indicates a significant but nonlinear trend in prevalence over
time. A temporal change that includes a significant linear and
quadratic time effect demonstrates nonlinear variation (e.g.,
leveling off or change in direction) in addition to an overall
increase or decrease over time. In this report, if both linear
and quadratic time effects are significant only the quadratic
time effect is reported. In addition, to identify 2-year temporal
changes in health-risk behaviors nationwide, prevalence
estimates from 2009 and 2011 were compared using t tests for
each variable assessed with identically worded questions in both
survey years. Prevalence estimates were considered statistically
different if the t test p value was <0.05. In the results section,
long-term temporal changes are described first, followed by
2-year (from 2009 to 2011) temporal changes.
Results
Behaviors that Contribute to
Unintentional Injuries
Rarely or Never Wore a Bicycle Helmet
Among the 70.2% of students nationwide who had ridden
a bicycle during the 12 months before the survey, 87.5% had
rarely or never worn a bicycle helmet (Table 3). Overall, the

prevalence of having rarely or never worn a bicycle helmet was
higher among male (88.8%) than female (85.9%) students;
higher among white male (87.1%) and black male (94.4%)
than white female (83.9%) and black female (89.4%) students,
respectively; and higher among 12th-grade male (92.0%) than
12th-grade female (87.3%) students. Overall, the prevalence
of having rarely or never worn a bicycle helmet was higher
among black (92.3%) and Hispanic (92.1%) than white
(85.7%) students; higher among Hispanic female (92.0%) than
white female (83.9%) students; and higher among black male
(94.4%) and Hispanic male (92.2%) than white male (87.1%)
students. Overall, the prevalence of having rarely or never
worn a bicycle helmet was higher among 12th-grade (89.9%)
than 9th-grade (86.6%), 10th-grade (86.7%), and 11th-grade
(87.7%) students and higher among 12th-grade male (92.0%)
than 9th-grade male (87.2%), 10th-grade male (87.9%), and
11th-grade male (89.2%) students. The prevalence of having
rarely or never worn a bicycle helmet among students who
had ridden a bicycle during the 12 months before the survey
ranged from 52.7% to 95.1% across state surveys (median:
87.1%) and from 59.3% to 94.3% across large urban school
district surveys (median: 89.7%) (Table 4).
Among students nationwide who had ridden a bicycle, the
prevalence of rarely or never wearing a bicycle helmet decreased
during 19912001 (96.2%84.7%) and then did not change
significantly during 20012011 (84.7%87.5%). The
prevalence of rarely or never wearing a bicycle helmet also did
not change significantly from 2009 (84.7%) to 2011 (87.5%).
Rarely or Never Wore a Seat Belt

Nationwide, 7.7% of students rarely or never wore a seat
belt when riding in a car driven by someone else (Table 3).
Overall, the prevalence of rarely or never wearing a seat belt
was higher among male (8.9%) than female (6.3%) students;
respectively; and higher among 10th-grade male (9.0%),

state surveys (median: 10.3%) and from 4.1% to 25.8% across
large urban school district surveys (median: 10.9%) (Table 4).
During 19912011, among students nationwide, a
significant linear decrease occurred in the prevalence of rarely
or never wearing a seat belt (25.9%7.7%). The prevalence
of rarely or never wearing a seat belt also decreased from 2009
(9.7%) to 2011 (7.7%).

(16.0%) than 9th-grade male (6.1%) and 10th-grade male
than 11th-grade male (10.4%) students. The prevalence of
having driven a car when they had been drinking alcohol ranged
from 4.0% to 11.7% across state surveys (median: 7.7%) and
from 2.9% to 11.9% across large urban school district surveys
(median: 6.8%) (Table 6).
Among students nationwide, the prevalence of having driven
a car when they had been drinking alcohol did not change
significantly during 19911997 (16.7%16.9%) and then
decreased during 19972011 (16.9%8.2%). The prevalence
of having driven a car when they had been drinking alcohol
also decreased from 2009 (9.7%) to 2011 (8.2%).
Texted or E-mailed While Driving

Discussion
YRBSS is the largest public health surveillance system in the
United States monitoring a broad range of health-risk behaviors
among high school students. In addition to describing the
prevalence of health-risk behaviors, YRBSS data are used widely
to compare health-risk behavior prevalence among students
overall and by sex, race/ethnicity, grade, and age; assess trends
in health-risk behaviors over time; monitor progress toward
achieving national health objectives; provide comparable state
and local data; and evaluate and improve health-related policies
and programs.
inhalants, and ecstasy; and to have not used any method to

prevent pregnancy during last sexual intercourse.
However, this analysis could not isolate the effects of these
demographic characteristics from the effects of socioeconomic
status (SES) or culture on health-risk behaviors. In a national
study, the likelihood of behavioral cardiovascular disease risks,
including obesity, sedentary behaviors, and tobacco exposure,
increased among adolescents aged 1217 years as the SES
based on poverty-income ratio decreased (13). Additional
research is needed to assess the effect of specific educational,
socioeconomic, cultural, and racial/ethnic factors on the
prevalence of health-risk behaviors among high school students.
Compare Health-Risk Behavior Prevalence

Among Student Subpopulations
Assess Trends in Health-Risk

Behaviors Over Time
Variations in health-risk behaviors among subpopulations of

high school students as defined by sex and race/ethnicity can
be identified with YRBSS data. For example, male high school
students were more likely than female high school students
to have engaged in certain behaviors related to unintentional
injury (e.g., rarely or never worn a seatbelt and drove when
drinking alcohol); violence (e.g., carried a weapon and been in
a physical fight); tobacco use (e.g., currently smoked cigarettes,
currently smoked cigars, and currently used smokeless
tobacco); alcohol and other drug use (e.g., binge drank and ever
used marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamines,
and hallucinogenic drugs); and sexual behaviors related to
unintentional pregnancy and STDs, including HIV infection
(e.g., ever had sexual intercourse and had sexual intercourse
with four or more persons during their life). Female high school
students were more likely than male high school students to
have been bullied on school property, electronically bullied,
forced to have sexual intercourse, engaged in suicide-related
behaviors (e.g., felt sad or hopeless and attempted suicide),
been physically inactive, engaged in unhealthy weight control
behaviors, and used an indoor tanning device.
Variations by race/ethnicity also were observed. For example,
white high school students were most likely to have texted or
e-mailed while driving, been bullied on school property, been
electronically bullied, used tobacco (e.g., smoked cigarettes
daily and currently used smokeless tobacco), and to have used
an indoor tanning device. Black high school students were most
likely to have engaged in risky sexual behaviors (e.g., ever had
sexual intercourse and had sexual intercourse for the first time
before age 13 years), been physically inactive, watched television
for 3 or more hours per day, and to be obese. Hispanic high
school students were most likely to have ridden with a driver
who had been drinking alcohol; felt sad or hopeless; had their
first drink of alcohol before age 13 years; ever used cocaine,
42
Long-term trends in health-risk behaviors can be assessed

using YRBSS data. Since 1991, substantial progress has
been made in decreasing the prevalence of many health-risk
behaviors among high school students nationwide, including
never or rarely wearing a seatbelt, riding with a driver who
had been drinking alcohol, current frequent cigarette use, and
being currently sexually active. However, the percentage of high
school students who are obese increased during 19992011,
and the percentage who drank three or more glasses per day
of milk and who routinely used sunscreen decreased during
this same period. In addition, among students who currently
smoke cigarettes, the percentage who tried to quit smoking
cigarettes decreased during 20012011. Emerging behavior
patterns can be detected by examining temporal changes
during 20092011. For example, encouraging changes during
20092011 include a decrease in the percentage of students
who currently used alcohol and binge drank and an increase
in the percentage of students who ate vegetables three or more
times per day. Concerning changes during 20092011 include
a decrease in the percentage of students who were taught in
school about AIDS or HIV infection and an increase in the
percentage of students who attempted suicide and currently
used marijuana.
Monitor Progress Toward Achieving

National Health Objectives
The national YRBS is the primary source of data to measure 20
Healthy People 2020 objectives, including one leading health
indicator (14). The Healthy People 2020 objectives provide a
comprehensive agenda for improving the health of all persons
in the United States during the second decade of the 21st
century. This report provides the Healthy People 2020 target
and data from the 2011 national YRBS for all 20 objectives
(Table 113). The data indicate that as of 2011 two of the 20
Healthy People 2020 objectives have been achieved. Healthy
People 2020 objective C-20.3 is to reduce the proportion of
adolescents in grades 9 through 12 who report using artificial
sources of ultraviolet light for tanning to below 14.0%. In
2011, 13.3% of high school students nationally had used an
indoor tanning device during the 12 months before the survey.
Healthy People 2020 Objective SA-1 is to reduce the proportion
of adolescents who report that they rode, during the previous
30 days, with a driver who had been drinking alcohol to below
25.5%. In 2011, 24.1% of high school students nationally had
ridden in a car or other vehicle driven by someone who had
been drinking alcohol during the 30 days before the survey.
Although the data indicate the Healthy People 2020 objective
PA-3.1 to increase the proportion of adolescents who meet
current federal physical activity guidelines for aerobic physical
activity has been met, the 2011 YRBS prevalence estimate
for aerobic physical activity is not comparable to the baseline
prevalence upon which the target was set because of a change
in the context of the question starting with the 2011 national
YRBS questionnaire.
To obtain certain Healthy People 2020 objectives, substantial
progress still must be made. For example, Healthy People 2020
objective PA-8.3.3 is to increase the proportion of adolescents
in grades 9 12 who use a computer or play computer games
outside of school (for nonschool work) for no more than
2 hours a day to 82.6%. As of 2011, only 68.9% of high school
students nationally met this objective. To reach many of the
Healthy People 2020 goals, additional support is needed for
coordinated, comprehensive school health programs and other
interventions that address health-risk behaviors.
Provide Comparable State and Large

Urban School District Data
Because all state and large urban school district surveys
share similar sampling, questionnaires, data collection, and
data-processing procedures, it is possible to compare state
and large urban school district YRBS data. The prevalence of
some health-risk behaviors varied substantially among states
and large urban school districts. Across state surveys, a range of

maximum: 94.3%);
rarely or never wore a seat belt (minimum: 4.1%;
maximum: 25.8%);
current frequent cigarette use (minimum: 0.9%;
maximum: 5.3%);
smoked more than 10 cigarettes/day (minimum: 1.9%;
maximum: 12.9%);
current smokeless tobacco use (minimum: 1.4%;
maximum: 7.5%);
ever used cocaine (minimum: 1.5%; maximum: 9.3%);
current cocaine use (minimum: 0.8%; maximum: 4.3%);
ever used ecstasy (minimum: 2.7%; maximum: 16.4%);
ever used heroin (minimum: 0.8%; maximum: 5.3%);
ever used methamphetamines (minimum: 1.3%;
maximum: 6.9%);
43
ever injected any illegal drug (minimum: 1.0%; maximum:

13.0%);
ever had sexual intercourse (minimum: 27.8%; maximum:
62.2%);
currently sexually active (minimum: 19.5%; maximum:
44.9%);
(minimum: 1.0%; maximum: 14.9%);
birth control pill, Depo-Provera, Nuva Ring, Implanon,
or any IUD use (minimum: 7.1%; maximum: 36.3%);
condom use and birth control pill, Depo-Provera, Nuva
Ring, Implanon, or any IUD use (minimum: 2.2%;
maximum: 12.6%);
drank soda or pop one or more times/day (minimum:
12.7%; maximum: 38.9%);
watched television 3 or more hours/day (minimum:
22.7%; maximum: 56.4%);
attended PE classes (minimum: 31.7%; maximum:
79.5%); and
attended PE classes daily (minimum: 9.0%; maximum:
50.5%).
These variations might occur, in part, because of differences
in state and local laws and policies, enforcement practices,
access to illegal drugs, availability of effective school and
community interventions, prevailing behavioral and social
norms, demographic characteristics of the population, and adult
practices. Longitudinal research is needed to better understand
the effect of these factors on the development and prevalence
of health-risk behaviors.
Evaluate and Improve Health-Related

Policies and Programs
CDC and other federal agencies use national YRBS data to
evaluate components of CDCs Performance Plan in compliance
with the Government Performance and Results Act (15) and to
evaluate the contribution of HIV prevention and chronic disease
prevention efforts toward helping reduce health-risk behaviors
among youth. State and local agencies and nongovernmental
organizations use YRBS data to improve health-related policies and
programs. For example, YRBS data were used in Massachusetts
to develop a fact sheet on student obesity, physical activity, and
eating behaviors. This fact sheet was used to build support for
legislation limiting competitive foods in schools and for best
practice guidelines on school physical education and physical
activity programs. In New York City, YRBS data were cited by
44
the New York City Commissioner of Health in testimony before

the City Council to support a smoking ban in all New York City
public parks and beaches. The law took effect in May 2011, and
prohibits smoking in 1,700 city parks and along 14 miles of the
citys public beaches. In Wisconsin, the Department of Public
Instruction and the Department of Health Services developed a
joint report on sexual behaviors based on YRBS data. This report
is used to identify high-risk populations in the state. In South
Dakota, YRBS data were used to identify underage alcohol use and
binge drinking among youth as priority health risk behaviors in a
grant application. As a result, the South Dakota Department of
Human Services/Social Services received the Strategic Prevention
Framework State Incentive Grant to address this issue.
Limitations
The findings in this report are subject to at least four
limitations. First, these data apply only to youth who attend
school and, therefore, are not representative of all persons in
this age group. Nationwide, in 2009, of persons aged 1617
years, approximately 4% were not enrolled in a high school
program and had not completed high school (16). Second, the
extent of underreporting or overreporting of behaviors cannot
be determined, although the survey questions demonstrate
good test-retest reliability (8). Third, BMI is calculated on the
basis of self-reported height and weight, and, therefore, tends
to underestimate the prevalence of obesity and overweight (17).
Fourth, not all states and large urban school districts include
all of the standard questions on their YRBS questionnaire. For
example, five states (Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Utah, and
Virginia) do not ask any questions on sexual risk behaviors.
Conclusion
The results of this report indicate a need for continued monitoring
of health-risk behaviors among high school students nationally and
at the state and local levels. In 2011, a total of 43 states and 21 large
urban school districts collected YRBS data representative of high
school students in their jurisdiction. YRBSS provides ongoing,
systematic monitoring of youth risk behaviors at the national,
state, and local levels. During the preceding 20 years, analysis and
interpretation of YRBSS data have been instrumental in planning,
implementation, and evaluation of public health and school-based
policies and practices. Additional support for YRBSS will ensure
data on priority risk behaviors are available to enhance and inform
future efforts to protect and promote the health of youth.

* Were physically active doing any kind of physical activity that increased their heart rate and made them breathe hard some of the time for a total of at least
60 minutes/day on 0 days during the 7 days before the survey.
Were physically active doing any kind of physical activity that increased their heart rate and made them breathe hard some of the time.
** Non-Hispanic.
NOTE: Because of changes in question context starting in 2011, national YRBS prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011
are not comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 20052009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three questions (in the
following order) that asked the number of days students participated in: 1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity, 2) at least 30 minutes of moderate physical
activity, and 3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011 national YRBS questionnaire, only the 60 minutes of aerobic
physical activity question was included.

60 minutes/day on 7 of the 7 days before the survey.
For example, push-ups, sit-ups, or weight lifting, during the 7 days before the survey.
Non-Hispanic.
NOTE: Because of changes in question context starting in 2011, national YRBS prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011
are not comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 2005 2009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three questions (in the
following order) that asked the number of days students participated in: 1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity, 2) at least 30 minutes of moderate physical
activity, and 3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011 national YRBS questionnaire, only the 60 minutes of aerobic
physical activity question was included.

*** The target setting method for this objective was a 10% improvement from the baseline; the baseline data source was the 2009 national YRBS. However, because
of changes in question context starting in 2011, national YRBS prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011 are not
comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 20052009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three questions (in the
following order) that asked the number of days students participated in: 1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity, 2) at least 30 minutes of moderate
physical activity, and 3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011 national YRBS questionnaire, only the 60 minutes
of aerobic physical activity question was included.
On an average school night.
