    Proposed Project: The National School-based Youth Risk Behavior 
Survey, OMB No. 0920-0493--Reinstatement--National Center for Chronic 
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).
    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. Data will be 
collected in the Spring of 2005 and the Spring of 2007 and will assess 
priority health risk behaviors related to the major preventable causes

both youth and adults in the U.S. OMB clearance for the 2003 YRBS 
survey expired November 2003, OMB No. 0920-0493. 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 estimated 
annualized burden over the three-year period is 6,115 hours. There is 
no cost to respondents.
