About

The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) is a program that tracks health behaviors in young people. It describes how the YRBSS collects data on things like diet, exercise, and risky activities such as smoking or drinking. The goal is to understand what affects youth health and help create better programs for their well-being. You can find more information about the YRBSS on the CDC website or through other resources online.
