Proposed Project
2013 and 2015 National Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS)(OMB No.
0920-0493)--Reinstatement with change--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to reinstate
with change, the data collection for the National Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS), a school-based survey that has been conducted biennially
since 1991. OMB approval for the 2009 YRBS and 2011 YRBS expired
November 30, 2011 (OMB no. 0920-0493). CDC seeks a three-year approval
to conduct the YRBS in Spring 2013 and Spring 2015. Minor changes
incorporated into this reinstatement request include: An updated title
for the information collection to accurately reflect the years in which
the survey will be conducted and minor changes to the data collection
instrument.
The YRBS assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the
major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems
among both youth and young adults in the United States. Data on health
risk behaviors of adolescents are the focus of approximately 65
national health objectives in Healthy People 2020, an initiative of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The YRBS provides
data to measure 20 of the health objectives and 1 of the Leading Health
Indicators established by Healthy People 2020. In addition, the YRBS
can identify racial and ethnic disparities in health risk behaviors. No
other national source of data measures as many of the Healthy People
2020 objectives addressing adolescent health risk behaviors as the
YRBS. The data also will have significant implications for policy and
program development for school health programs nationwide.
In Spring 2013 and Spring 2015, the YRBS will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of students attending public and
private schools in grades 9-12. Information supporting the YRBS also
will be collected from state-, district-, and school-level
administrators and teachers. The table below reports the number of
respondents annualized over the 3-year project period.
There are no costs to respondents except their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 6,215.
