Proposed Project
2009 and 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS) (OMB No.
0920-0493)--Reinstatement--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 continue
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 2005 YRBS and 2007 YRBS expired November 30, 2007 (OMB
No. 0920-0493). CDC seeks a three-year approval to conduct the YRBS in
Spring 2009 and Spring 2011. 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; minor changes to the burden estimate; 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 40
national health objectives in Healthy People 2010, an initiative of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The YRBS provides
data to measure at least 10 of the health objectives and 3 of the 10
Leading Health Indicators established by Healthy People 2010. 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 2010 objectives addressing adolescent behaviors as
the YRBS. The data also will have significant implications for policy
and program development for school health programs nationwide.
In Spring 2009 and Spring 2011, 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 school administrators and teachers. The table
below reports the total number of respondents for the two cycles of
data collection (2009 and 2011) 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.
