Abstract

Problem/Condition: Priority health-risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among youth and adults often are established during youth, extend into adulthood, and are interrelated.

Reporting Period: February through May 1995. Description of the System: The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors among youth and young adults: behaviors that contribute to unintentional and intentional injuries, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors, unhealthy dietary behaviors, and physical inactivity. The YRBSS includes both a national school-based survey conducted by CDC and state and local school-based surveys conducted by state and local education agencies. This report summarizes results from the national survey, 35 state surveys, and 16 local surveys conducted among high school students from February through May 1995.

Results and Interpretation: In the United States, 72% of all deaths among school-age youth and young adults result from four causes: motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries, homicide, and suicide. Results from the 1995 YRBSS suggest that many high school students practice behaviors that may increase their likelihood of death from these four causes: 21.7% had rarely or never used a safety belt, 38.8% had ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol during the 30 days preceding the survey, 20.0% had carried a weapon during the 30 days preceding the survey, 51.6% had drunk alcohol during the 30 days preceding the survey, 25.3% had used marijuana during the 30 days preceding the survey, and 8.7% had attempted suicide during the 12 months preceding the survey. Substantial morbidity and social problems among school-age youth and young adults also result from unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus infection. YRBSS results indicate that in 1995, 53.1% of high school students had had sexual intercourse, 45.6% of sexually active students had not used a condom at last sexual intercourse, and 2.0% had ever injected an illegal drug. Among adults, 65% of all deaths result from three causes: heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Most of the risk behaviors associated with these causes of death are initiated during adolescence. In 1995, 34.8% of high school students had smoked cigarettes during the 30 days preceding the survey, 39.5% had eaten more than two servings of foods typically high in fat content during the day preceding the survey, and only 25.4% had attended physical education class daily.

Actions Taken: YRBSS data are being used nationwide by health and education officials to improve national, state, and local policies and programs designed to reduce risks associated with the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. YRBSS data also are being used to measure progress toward achieving 21 national health objectives and one of eight National Education Goals.

INTRODUCTION

In the United States, 72% of all deaths among youth and young adults 5-24 years of age result from only four causes: motor vehicle crashes (28% of all deaths in this age group), other unintentional injuries (11%), homicide (21%), and suicide (12%) (1). Substantial morbidity and social problems also result from the approximately 1 million pregnancies that occur each year among adolescents (2) and the more than 10 million cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that occur each year among persons 15-29 years of age (3). In the United States, 65% of all deaths and substantial morbidity among adults greater than or equal to 25 years of age result from three causes: heart disease (34% of all deaths in this age group), cancer (24%), and stroke (7%) (1). Therefore, six categories of behaviors contribute to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States: behaviors that contribute to unintentional and intentional injuries; tobacco use; alcohol and other drug use; sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and STDs (including human immunodeficiency virus {HIV} infection); unhealthy dietary behaviors; and physical inactivity. These behaviors, which frequently are interrelated, often are established during youth and extend into adulthood.

To monitor the priority health-risk behaviors in each of these categories among youth and young adults, CDC developed the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) (4). The YRBSS includes national, state, * and local school-based surveys of high school students. National surveys were conducted in 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1995. ** Comparable state and local surveys were first conducted in 1990, when 24 states and eight large cities participated. In 1991, 29 states and 10 cities conducted surveys; in 1993, 43 states and 13 cities; and in 1995, 45 states and 16 cities. This report summarizes the results from the 1995 national school-based survey and from the 35 selected state and 16 local school-based surveys. Data from nine state surveys conducted during 1995 were not included in this report because of their low overall response rate. Data from one state survey were not included upon request of the state education agency. --------------- * U.S. territories are included as states.

** The school-based components of the YRBSS were implemented in 1990 and 1991 and then biennially during odd-numbered years thereafter.

METHODS

Sampling

The 1995 national school-based survey employed a three-stage cluster sample design to produce a nationally representative sample of students in grades 9-12. The first-stage sampling frame contained 1,955 primary sampling units (PSUs), consisting of large counties or groups of smaller, adjacent counties. From the 1,955 PSUs, 52 were selected from 16 strata formed on the basis of the degree of urbanization and the relative percentage of black * and Hispanic students in the PSU. The PSUs were selected with probability proportional to school enrollment size. At the second sampling stage, 157 schools were selected with probability proportional to school enrollment size. To enable separate analysis of black and Hispanic students, schools with substantial numbers of black and Hispanic students were sampled at higher rates than all other schools. The third stage of sampling consisted of randomly selecting one or two intact classes of a required subject (e.g., English or social studies) from grades 9-12 at each chosen school. All students in the selected classes were eligible to participate in the survey.

A weighting factor was applied to each student record to adjust for nonresponse and for the varying probabilities of selection, including those resulting from the oversampling of black and Hispanic students. Numbers of students in other racial/ethnic groups were too low for meaningful analysis in this report. The weights were scaled so that a) the weighted count of students was equal to the total sample size and b) the weighted proportions of students in each grade matched national population proportions. SUDAAN was used to compute 95% confidence intervals that were used to determine differences among subgroups at the p less than 0.05 level (5). The national data are representative of students in grades 9-12 in public and private schools in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The 1995 state and local school-based surveys employed a two-stage cluster sample design to produce representative samples of students in grades 9-12 in their jurisdictions. In most states and cities, the first-stage sampling frame consisted of all public schools containing any of grades 9-12. Schools were selected with probability proportional to school enrollment size. At the second sampling stage, intact classes of a required subject or a required period (e.g., second period) were randomly selected. All students in the selected classes were eligible to participate in the survey. Some states and cities modified these procedures to meet their individual needs. For example, in some states and cities, either classes were selected as the first stage of sampling or all schools, rather than a sample of schools, were selected to participate.

The surveys from the 25 states and 12 cities, each with an overall response rate of at least 60% and appropriate documentation, were weighted (Table_1). Weighted data from most of these states and cities can be generalized to all public-school students in grades 9-12 in the jurisdiction. Surveys that did not have both an overall response rate of at least 60% and appropriate documentation were not weighted. The unweighted data from 10 state and four local surveys apply only to the students participating in the survey. Surveys from California, Colorado, Michigan, and New Jersey excluded students from Los Angeles, Denver, Detroit, and Newark, respectively.

For the national survey, 10,904 questionnaires were completed in 110 schools. The school response rate was 70%, and the student response rate was 86%, resulting in an overall response rate of 60% (Table_1). For the state and local surveys, sample sizes ranged from 309 to 5,987. School response rates ranged from 48% to 100%, student response rates ranged from 44% to 99%, and overall response rates ranged from 41% to 85%. In the national, state, and local surveys, students were evenly distributed across grades and between sexes (Table_1).

Incidence rates for two variables were calculated to provide data for monitoring relevant year 2000 national health objectives (6). For weapon-carrying, students who replied that they had carried a weapon 2-3 days during the 30 days preceding the survey were assigned a weapon-carrying frequency of 2.5; 4-5 days, 4.5; and greater than or equal to 6 days, 6.0. For physical fighting, students who reported having fought two or three times during the 12 months preceding the survey were assigned a fighting frequency of 2.5; four or five times, 4.5; six or seven times, 6.5; eight or nine times, 8.5; 10-11 times, 10.5; and greater than or equal to 12 times, 12.0. ---------------

In this report, black refers to black, non-Hispanic students.

Data Collection

Survey procedures were designed to protect the students' privacy by allowing for anonymous and voluntary participation. The self-administered questionnaire was administered in the classroom during a regular class period. Students recorded their responses directly on a booklet or answer sheet that could be scanned by a computer. The core questionnaire contained 84 multiple-choice questions. State and local education agencies added or deleted items to meet individual needs. Local parental consent procedures were followed before survey administration.

State prevalence rates varied fourfold from 3.1% to 13.2% (median: 7.7%), and local prevalence rates varied threefold from 3.7% to 12.7% (median: 7.9%) (Table_5).

An estimated 81.3 separate incidents of weapon carrying occurred per 100 students during the 30 days preceding the survey (Table_4). Overall, the weapon-carrying incidence rate for male students (128.1 per 100 students) was significantly higher than for female students (31.3 per 100 students). This significant difference was identified for white and Hispanic students and all the grade subgroups. The weapon-carrying incidence rate for black female students (57.6 per 100 students) was significantly higher than for white female students (20.2 per 100 students). State rates ranged from 37.9 to 121.7 per 100 students (median: 84.8), and local rates ranged from 57.6 to 121.1 per 100 students (median: 79.7) (Table_5).

Engaging in a Physical Fight

Among students nationwide, 38.7% had been in a physical fight during the 12 months preceding the survey (Table_6). Overall, male students (46.1%) were significantly more likely than female students (30.6%) to have been in a physical fight. This significant difference was identified for all the racial/ethnic and grade subgroups. Overall, Hispanic students (47.9%) were significantly more likely than white students (36.0%) to have been in a physical fight.

DISCUSSION

These results indicate that many high school students throughout the United States practice behaviors that place them at risk for serious health problems. Some risk behaviors are more likely to be found among particular subgroups of students. For example, male students were more likely than female students to report rarely or never wearing safety belts, weapon carrying, physical fighting, smokeless-tobacco use, episodic heavy drinking, current marijuana use, lifetime and current cocaine use, injecting-drug use, four or more lifetime sex partners, and using alcohol and drugs at last sexual intercourse. In contrast, female students were more likely than male students to report suicide-related behaviors, perceiving themselves as overweight, and using each type of weight-loss method. White students were more likely than black or Hispanic students to report seriously considering attempting suicide, frequent cigarette use, and smokeless-tobacco use. Black students were more likely than white or Hispanic students to report rarely or never wearing safety belts, sexual experience, sexual activity, and having had four or more lifetime sex partners. Hispanic students were more likely than white or black students to report riding with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, carrying a weapon, physical fighting, attempting suicide, lifetime cigarette use, lifetime and current cocaine use, and lifetime crack use. Students in grades 9 and 10 were more likely than students in grades 11 and 12 to report carrying a weapon, physical fighting, attempting suicide, lifetime use of inhalants, and use of laxatives or vomiting to lose weight. In contrast, students in grades 11 and 12 were more likely than students in grades 9 and 10 to report driving after drinking alcohol; lifetime, current, and frequent cigarette use; lifetime and current alcohol use; episodic heavy drinking; lifetime and current marijuana use; sexual experience; sexual activity; four or more lifetime sex partners; and ever having been pregnant or getting someone pregnt. These subgroup findings can assist in identifying the need for education and services based on higher prevalences of risk behaviors. However, the underlying causes (e.g., education levels, economic factors, or cultural influences) for subgroup differences (7) could not be addressed in this analysis.

Considerable variation occurs from state to state and from city to city for some priority health-risk behaviors. For example, among the state surveys, a fivefold variation or greater was identified for not using safety belts, drinking and driving, not attending school because of concerns about safety, frequent cigarette use, smokeless-tobacco use (including smokeless-tobacco use on school property), marijuana use, use of other illegal drugs, and initiation of sexual activity and cocaine use before 13 years of age. Among the local surveys, a similar level of variation was found for not using safety belts, smokeless-tobacco use (including smokeless-tobacco use on school property), cocaine use (including cocaine use on school property and crack cocaine use), injecting-drug use, use of other illegal drugs, and initiation of cocaine use before 13 years of age. Though not addressed in this analysis, these state and local survey variations may be attributable to differences in state and local laws and policies, enforcement practices, access to illegal drugs, available intervention programs, and prevailing norms and adult practices. Further exploration of the variations may indicate important intervention needs.

The median prevalence rates for the state and local surveys were similar for all behaviors except for the following behaviors where the state median was higher: drinking and driving, current cigarette use, frequent cigarette use, smokeless-tobacco use, cigarette and smokeless-tobacco use on school property, episodic heavy drinking, use of other illegal drugs, and use of birth control pills. The median for the local surveys was higher for the following behaviors: being injured in a physical fight, feeling unsafe going to school, initiating sexual intercourse before 13 years of age, and ever having been pregnant.

YRBSS is the only school-based surveillance system to monitor priority health-risk behaviors among representative samples of students at the national, state, and local levels. Since the system was implemented in 1990, the number of participating states and cities has almost doubled -- from 34 to 61. Consequently, the system is an increasingly useful tool for monitoring 21 national health objectives (6) and National Education Goal 7, which focuses on safe, disciplined, and drug-free schools (8). At the state and local levels, the surveillance system continues to be used to improve health-related policies and programs for youth. For example, in Alabama, YRBS data were used to help establish a state-wide Task Force on Violence. In West Virginia, YRBS data were used to increase support for comprehensive school health programs. West Virginia schools are now required by law to develop a local School Improvement Council that must include business and community representatives. In Maine, YRBS data encouraged the adoption of skill-based health education curricula in grade 8. In Dallas, YRBS data were used to help establish six community health clinics. In Boston, YRBS data are being used to support a proposed state mandate requiring comprehensive school health education in grades kindergarten through 12. Continued support for the YRBSS will enhance its ability to provide useful data for state and local health and education officials to use in improving policies and programs for youth.
