Proposed Project

    Youth Risk Behavior Survey--(0920-0258)--New--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). The proposed 
project is the 2001 national school-based Youth Risk Behavior Survey. 
The purpose of this request is to renew OMB clearance to continue an 
ongoing biennial survey among high school students attending regular 
public, private, and Catholic schools in grades 9-12. The survey 
assesses priority heath risk behaviors related to the major preventable 
causes of mortality,

morbidity, and social problems among both youth and adults in the U.S. 
OMB clearance for the 1999 survey expired January 2000 (OMB No. 0920-
0258, expiration 01/00). Data on the health risk behaviors of 
adolescents is the focus of approximately 40 national health objectives 
in Healthy People 2010. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey provides data to 
measure at least 10 of these health objectives and 3 of the 10 Leading 
Health Indicators. In addition, the Youth Risk Behavior Survey can 
identify racial and ethnic disparities in health risk behaviors. No 
other national source of data measures as many of the 2010 objectives 
that address behaviors of adolescents. The data also will have 
significant implications for policy and program development for school 
health programs nationwide. The annualized burden is 9,173 hours.
