Abstract
Problem: Priority health-risk behaviors contribute to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among youth and adults.
Population-based data on these behaviors at the national, state, and local levels can help monitor the effectiveness of public health
interventions designed to protect and promote the health of youth nationwide.
Reporting Period Covered: September 2014December 2015.
Description of the System: The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority health behaviors
among youth and young adults: 1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3) alcohol and
other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors related to unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; 5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. In addition, YRBSS monitors
the prevalence of obesity and asthma and other priority health behaviors. YRBSS includes a national school-based Youth Risk
Behavior Survey (YRBS) conducted by CDC and state and large urban school district school-based YRBSs conducted by state and
local education and health agencies. This report summarizes results for 118 health behaviors plus obesity, overweight, and asthma
from the 2015 national survey, 37 state surveys, and 19 large urban school district surveys conducted among students in grades 912.
Results: Results from the 2015 national YRBS indicated that many high school students are engaged in priority health-risk behaviors
associated with the leading causes of death among persons aged 1024 years in the United States. During the 30 days before the survey,
41.5% of high school students nationwide among the 61.3% who drove a car or other vehicle during the 30 days before the survey
had texted or e-mailed while driving, 32.8% had drunk alcohol, and 21.7% had used marijuana. During the 12 months before the
survey, 15.5% had been electronically bullied, 20.2% had been bullied on school property, and 8.6% had attempted suicide. Many
high school students are engaged in sexual risk behaviors related to unintended pregnancies and STIs, including HIV infection.
Nationwide, 41.2% of students had ever had sexual intercourse, 30.1% had had sexual intercourse during the 3 months before the
survey (i.e., currently sexually active), and 11.5% had had sexual intercourse with four or more persons during their life. Among
currently sexually active students, 56.9% had used a condom during their last sexual intercourse. Results from the 2015 national
YRBS also indicated many high school students are engaged in behaviors associated with chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular
disease, cancer, and diabetes. During the 30 days before the survey, 10.8% of high school students had smoked cigarettes and 7.3%
had used smokeless tobacco. During the 7 days before the survey, 5.2% of high school students had not eaten fruit or drunk 100%
fruit juices and 6.7% had not eaten vegetables. More than one third (41.7%) had played video or computer games or used a computer
for something that was not school work for 3 or more hours per day on an average school day and 14.3% had not participated in at
least 60 minutes of any kind of physical activity that increased their heart rate and made them breathe hard on at least 1 day during
the 7 days before the survey. Further, 13.9% had obesity and 16.0% were overweight.
Interpretation: Many high school students engage in behaviors that place them at risk for the leading causes of morbidity and
mortality. The prevalence of most health behaviors varies by sex, race/ethnicity, and grade and across states and large urban school
districts. Long-term temporal changes also have occurred. Since the earliest year of data collection, the prevalence of most healthrisk behaviors has decreased (e.g., riding with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, physical fighting, current cigarette use,
current alcohol use, and current sexual activity), but the prevalence of other behaviors and health outcomes has not changed (e.g.,
suicide attempts treated by a doctor or nurse, smokeless tobacco use, having ever used marijuana, and attending physical education
classes) or has increased (e.g., having not gone to school because
of safety concerns, obesity, overweight, not eating vegetables, and

Public Health Action: YRBSS data are used widely to compare the prevalence of health behaviors among subpopulations of
students; assess trends in health behaviors over time; monitor progress toward achieving 21 national health objectives for Healthy
People 2020 and one of the 26 leading health indicators; provide comparable state and large urban school district data; and help
develop and evaluate school and community policies, programs, and practices designed to decrease health-risk behaviors and
improve health outcomes among youth.
Introduction
Methods
In the United States in 2014, 71% of all deaths among persons

aged 1024 years resulted from four causes: motor vehicle
crashes (23%), other unintentional injuries (17%), homicide
(14%), and suicide (17%) (1). Among persons aged 1519 years,
273,105 births (2); 451,208 cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and
syphilis (3); and 1,828 diagnoses of human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) (4) are reported annually. Among persons aged
25 years, 54% of all deaths in the United States result from
cardiovascular disease (31%) and cancer (23%) (1). These leading
causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among
youth and adults in the United States are related to six categories
of priority health behaviors: 1) behaviors that contribute to
unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3) alcohol
and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors related to unintended
pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including
HIV infection; 5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6) physical
inactivity. These behaviors frequently are interrelated and are
established during childhood and adolescence and extend into
adulthood. To monitor priority health behaviors in each of these
six categories, the prevalence of obesity, overweight and asthma,
and other priority health behaviors among youth and young
adults, CDC developed the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance
System (YRBSS) (5). YRBSS includes school-based national,
state, and large urban school district Youth Risk Behavior Surveys
(YRBS) conducted among representative samples of students in
grades 912. National, state, and large urban school district surveys
have been conducted biennially since 1991 (Table 1). Additional
information about YRBSS is available at http://www.cdc.gov/
healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm.
This report summarizes results for 118 health behaviors plus
obesity, overweight, and asthma from the 2015 national YRBS
and overall trends in health behaviors during 19912015. Data
from the 37 state and 19 large urban school district surveys with
weighted data for the 2015 YRBSS cycle (Figure) also are included
in this report. Results from 10 state and two large urban school
district surveys with unweighted data are not included. Among
those with weighted data for 2015, three state and one large
urban school district surveys were conducted during fall 2014; the
national survey, 29 state, and 16 large urban school district surveys
were conducted during spring 2015; and five state and two large
urban school district surveys were conducted during fall 2015.
Detailed information about the methodology of the national,

state, and large urban school district YRBSs has been described
elsewhere (5).
Sampling
National Youth Risk Behavior Survey
The sampling frame for the 2015 national YRBS consisted of
all regular public* and private schools with students in at least
one of grades 912 in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The sampling frame was based on the Market Data Retrieval
(MDR) database (6), which includes information on both public
and private schools and the most recent data from the Common
Core of Data from the National Center for Education Statistics
(7). A three-stage cluster sample design produced a nationally
representative sample of students in grades 912 who attend public
and private schools. The first-stage sampling frame consisted of
1,259 primary sampling units (PSUs), consisting of counties,
subareas of large counties, or groups of smaller, adjacent counties.
The 1,259 PSUs were categorized into 16 strata according to their
metropolitan statistical area (MSA) status (e.g., urban city) and
the percentages of black and Hispanic students in the PSUs. From
the 1,259 PSUs, 54 were sampled with probability proportional
to overall school enrollment size for the PSU.
In the second stage of sampling, 180 schools with any of
grades 912 were sampled with probability proportional to
school enrollment size from within the 54 PSUs. The third
stage of sampling consisted of random sampling in each of
grades 912, one or two classrooms from either a required
subject (e.g., English or social studies) or a required period
(e.g., homeroom or second period). All students in sampled
classes were eligible to participate. Schools, classes, and
students that refused to participate were not replaced.
To enable a separate analysis of data for black and Hispanic
students, two classes per grade, rather than one, were sampled

in schools with a high minority enrollment. Before the

2013 national YRBS, three strategies were used to oversample
black and Hispanic students: 1) larger sampling rates were
used to select PSUs that were in high-black and high-Hispanic
strata; 2) a modified measure of size was used to increase the
probability of sampling schools with a disproportionately
high minority enrollment; and 3) two classes per grade, rather
than one, were sampled in schools with a high minority
enrollment. Because of increases in the proportions of black
and Hispanic students in the population, only selection of
two classes per grade was needed in 2013 and 2015 to balance
the precision needed for subgroup estimates with minimum
variance for overall estimates.
states and 16 large urban school districts. In the second

sampling stage, intact classes from either a required subject
(e.g., English or social studies) or a required period (e.g.,
homeroom or second period) were sampled randomly in
36 states and 18 large urban school districts, and all students
in the sampled classes were eligible to participate. In one
state and one large urban school district, all students in
sampled schools were eligible to participate.

patterns, which occur when a particular response to one
question indicates to the respondents that they should not
answer one or more subsequent questions, were not included
in any YRBS questionnaire to protect students privacy by
ensuring all students took about the same amount of time
to complete the questionnaire. All questions (except for two
questions assessing height and weight and the race question)
were multiple choice with a maximum of eight mutually
exclusive response options and only one possible answer per
respondent. Information about the reliability of the standard
questionnaire has been published elsewhere (8). The wording
of each question, including recall periods, response options,
and operational definitions are available in the 2015 standard
and national YRBS questionnaires at http://www.cdc.gov/

minority status (i.e., sexual identity and sex of sexual contacts)

Data Processing Procedures and

Response Rates
For the 2015 national YRBS, 15,713 questionnaires were
completed in 125 public and private schools. The national data
set was cleaned and edited for inconsistencies. Missing data
were not statistically imputed. Among the 15,713 completed
questionnaires, 89 failed quality control** and were excluded
from analysis, resulting in 15,624 usable questionnaires
(Table 2). The school response rate was 69%, the student
response rate was 86%, and the overall response rate was
60% (Table 2).
Data from each state and large urban school district survey
were cleaned and edited for inconsistencies with the same
procedures used for the national data set. The percentage of
completed questionnaires that failed quality control checks and
were excluded from analysis ranged from 0.2% to 5.3% (median:
0.8%) across the 37 states and from 0.3% to 6.4% (median:
1.6%) across the 19 large urban school districts. The student
sample sizes ranged from 1,313 to 55,596 (median: 2,777) across
the states and from 1,052 to 10,419 (median: 2,181) across
** A questionnaire that fails quality control has <20 remaining responses after
editing or has the same answer to 15 consecutive questions.
Overall response rate = (number of participating schools/number of eligible
sampled schools) x (number of usable questionnaires/number of eligible
students sampled).
the large urban school districts (Table 2). Among the states,
the school response rates ranged from 70% to 100%, student
response rates ranged from 64% to 90%, and overall response
rates ranged from 60% to 84%. Among the large urban school
districts, the school response rates ranged from 90% to 100%,
student response rates ranged from 66% to 88%, and overall
response rates ranged from 64% to 88% (Table 2).
Race/ethnicity was computed from two questions: 1) Are
you Hispanic or Latino? (response options were yes or no),
and 2) What is your race? (response options were American
Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, black or African American,
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, or white). For the
second question, students could select more than one response
option. For this report, students were classified as Hispanic/
Latino and are referred to as Hispanic if they answered yes
to the first question, regardless of how they answered the second
question. Students who answered no to the first question
and selected only black or African American to the second
question were classified as black or African American and
are referred to as black. Students who answered no to the
first question and selected only white to the second question
were classified, and are referred to, as white. Race/ethnicity
was classified as missing for students who did not answer the
first question and for students who answered no to the first
question but did not answer the second question.
Students were classified as as having obesity or being overweight
or overweight based on their body mass index (kg/m2) (BMI),
which was calculated from self-reported height and weight. BMI
values were compared with sex- and age-specific reference data
from the 2000 CDC growth charts (9). Obesity was defined
as a BMI of 95th percentile for age and sex. Overweight was
defined as a BMI of 85th percentile and <95th percentile for
age and sex. These classifications are not intended to diagnose
obesity or overweight in individual students, but to provide
population-level estimates of obesity and overweight.
Weighting
For the national YRBS, a weight based on student sex,
race/ethnicity, and grade was applied to each record to
adjust for school and student nonresponse and oversampling
of black and Hispanic students. The overall weights were
scaled so that the weighted count of students equals the
total sample size, and the weighted proportions of students
in each grade match the national population proportions.
Therefore, weighted estimates are representative of all
students in grades 912 attending public and private schools
in the United States.
Data from states and large urban school districts that had a
representative sample of students, appropriate documentation,
and an overall response rate of 60% were weighted. A weight

was applied to each record to adjust for school and student
nonresponse and the distribution of students by grade, sex, and
race/ethnicity in each jurisdiction, such that the weighted count
of students equals the student population in each jurisdiction.
Data from 37 states and 19 large urban school districts were
weighted. In 36 states and all large urban school districts,
weighted estimates are representative of all students in grades
912 attending public schools in each jurisdiction. In one state
(South Dakota), weighted estimates are representative of all
students in grades 912 attending public and private schools.
Analytic Methods
Statistical analyses were conducted on weighted data
using SAS (10) and SUDAAN (11) software to account
for the complex sampling designs. Prevalence estimates
and confidence intervals were computed for all variables
and all data sets. In addition, for the national YRBS data,
t tests were used to determine pairwise differences between
subpopulations (12). Differences between prevalence
estimates were considered statistically significant if the t test
p value was <0.05 for main effects (sex, race/ethnicity, and
grade) and for interactions (sex by race/ethnicity, sex by
grade, race/ethnicity by sex, and grade by sex). In the results
section, only statistically significant differences in national
YRBS prevalence estimates are reported in the following
order: sex, sex by race/ethnicity, sex by grade, race/ethnicity,
race/ethnicity by sex, grade, and grade by sex.
To identify long-term temporal trends in health behaviors
nationwide, prevalence estimates from the earliest year
of data collection to 2015 for each variable assessed with
identically worded questions in three or more survey years
were examined. Logistic regression analyses were used to
account for all available estimates; control for sex, grade,
and racial/ ethnic changes over time; and assess long-term
linear and quadratic trends (12). A p value associated with
the regression coefficient that was <0.05 was considered
statistically significant. Linear and quadratic time variables
were treated as continuous and were coded using orthogonal
coefficients calculated with PROC IML in SAS. Separate
regression models were used to assess linear and quadratic
trends for every variable. When a significant quadratic trend
was identified, Joinpoint software (13) was used to automate
identification of the year or joinpoint where the nonlinear
(i.e., quadratic) trend changed and then regression models
were used to identify linear trends occurring in each segment.
Cubic and higher order trends were not assessed. A quadratic
trend indicates a significant but nonlinear trend in prevalence
over time. A long-term temporal change that includes a
significant linear and quadratic trend demonstrates nonlinear

variation (e.g., leveling off or change in direction) in addition
to an overall increase or decrease over time.
To identify 2-year temporal changes in health behaviors
nationwide, prevalence estimates from 2013 and 2015
were compared using t tests for each variable assessed
with identically worded questions in both survey years.
Prevalence estimates were considered statistically different
if the t test p value was <0.05.
In the results section, long-term linear and quadratic
trends are described first followed by results from the
t tests used to assess 2-year temporal changes. Information
about long-term temporal trends and 2-year temporal
changes are not available because of changes in question or
response option wording or because the question was asked
for the first time during 2015 for the following variables:
usually obtained their own cigarettes by buying them on
the Internet; ever use of electronic vapor products; current
use of electronic vapor products; current use of cigarettes,
cigars, smokeless tobacco, or electronic vapor products;
usual method of marijuana use; ever use of synthetic
marijuana; sports drink consumption; water consumption;
had a sunburn; having seen a dentist; and avoidance of foods
because eating the food could cause an allergic reaction.
Results
Behaviors that Contribute to
Unintentional Injuries
Rarely or Never Wore a Bicycle Helmet
Among the 68.0% of students nationwide who had ridden
a bicycle during the 12 months before the survey, 81.4% had
rarely or never worn a bicycle helmet (Table 3). The prevalence
of having rarely or never worn a bicycle helmet was higher among
11th-grade male (85.4%) than 11th-grade female (78.5%)
students. The prevalence of having rarely or never worn a bicycle
helmet was higher among black (88.2%) and Hispanic (90.1%)
than white (76.4%) students, higher among Hispanic female
(90.3%) than white female (75.3%) students, and higher among
black male (91.6%) and Hispanic male (90.0%) than white male
(77.5%) students. The prevalence of having rarely or never worn
a bicycle helmet was higher among 12th-grade (83.5%) than
9th-grade (79.4%) students, higher among 11th-grade male
(85.4%) and 12th-grade male (84.9%) than 9th-grade male
(80.2%) students, and higher among 11th-grade male (85.4%)
than 10th-grade male (80.4%) students.
During 19912015, a significant linear decrease occurred
overall in the prevalence of having rarely or never worn a bicycle
helmet (96.2%81.4%). A significant quadratic trend also was

identified. The prevalence of having rarely or never worn a
bicycle helmet decreased during 19912001 (96.2%84.7%)
and then did not change significantly during 20012015
(84.7%81.4%). The prevalence of having never or rarely worn
a bicycle helmet decreased significantly from 2013 (87.9%)
to 2015 (81.4%).
Across 28 states, the prevalence of having rarely or never
worn a bicycle helmet ranged from 53.0% to 94.1% (median:
84.6%) (Table 4). Across 16 large urban school districts, the
prevalence ranged from 55.1% to 95.6% (median: 87.3%).
Rarely or Never Wore a Seat Belt

Nationwide, 6.1% of students rarely or never wore a seat
belt when riding in a car driven by someone else (Table 3).
The prevalence of having rarely or never worn a seat belt was
higher among male (7.2%) than female (4.9%) students; higher
among white male (5.3%) and black male (12.4%) than white
female (3.5%) and black female (7.6%) students, respectively;
and higher among 10th-grade male (7.6%) and 11th-grade
male (7.1%) than 10th-grade female (4.5%) and 11th-grade
female (4.1%) students, respectively. The prevalence of having
rarely or never worn a seat belt was higher among black
(10.1%) and Hispanic (6.5%) than white (4.4%) students,
higher among black (10.1%) than Hispanic (6.5%) students,
higher among black female (7.6%) and Hispanic female (6.3%)
than white female (3.5%) students, and higher among black
male (12.4%) than white male (5.3%) and Hispanic male
(6.8%) students.
overall in the prevalence of having rarely or never worn a seat
belt (25.9%6.1%). A significant quadratic trend was not
identified. The prevalence of having rarely or never worn a
seat belt did not change significantly from 2013 (7.6%) to
2015 (6.1%).
Across 32 states, the prevalence of having rarely or never
wore a seat belt ranged from 3.6% to 14.6% (median: 8.1%)
(Table 4). Across 17 large urban school districts, the prevalence
ranged from 4.5% to 21.7% (median: 8.2%).
Rode with a Driver Who Had Been Drinking Alcohol

During the 30 days before the survey, 20.0% of students
nationwide had ridden in a car or other vehicle one or more
times with a driver who had been drinking alcohol (Table 5).
The prevalence of having ridden with a driver who had been
drinking alcohol was higher among Hispanic (26.2%) than
white (17.7%) and black (21.1%) students, higher among
Hispanic female (27.3%) than white female (17.5%) students,
and higher among Hispanic male (25.3%) than white male
(17.7%) and black male (20.6%) students.

overall in the prevalence of having ridden with a driver who
had been drinking alcohol (39.9%20.0%). A significant
quadratic trend also was identified. The prevalence of having
ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol decreased
during 19912009 (39.9%28.3%) and then decreased more
gradually from 20092015 (28.3%20.0%). The prevalence of
having ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol did
not change significantly from 2013 (21.9%) to 2015 (20.0%).
Across 33 states, the prevalence of having ridden with a

Discussion
YRBSS is the largest public health surveillance system in the
United States monitoring a broad range of health behaviors among
high school students. YRBSS data are used widely to compare the
prevalence of health behaviors among subpopulations of students;
assess trends in health behaviors over time; monitor progress
toward achieving national health objectives; provide comparable
state and large urban school district data; and help develop, assess,
and improve school and community policies, programs, and
practices designed to decrease health-risk behaviors and improve
health outcomes among youth.
Compare Health Behavior Prevalence

Among Subpopulations of Students
YRBSS is designed to identify how health behaviors vary by
subpopulations of high school students defined by sex and race/
ethnicity. Understanding these variations (or lack of variation)
in health behaviors might help design, target, and identify
the impact of school and community policies, programs, and
practices. However, YRBSS data cannot isolate the effects of sex
and race/ethnicity from the effects of socioeconomic status (SES)
or culture on the prevalence of health behaviors. For example,
in a national study, the likelihood of behavioral cardiovascular
disease risks, including obesity, sedentary behaviors, and tobacco
exposure, increased among adolescents aged 1217 years as the
SES based on poverty-income ratio decreased (14).
Variations by Sex
The prevalence of most health behaviors varies by sex. For
example, the prevalence of two injury-related behaviors (rarely
or never wearing a seatbelt and driving when drinking alcohol)
was higher among male than female students. The prevalence of
seven violence-related behaviors (carrying a weapon, carrying a
gun, carrying a weapon on school property, being threatened or
injured with a weapon on school property, being in a physical

fight, being injured in a physical fight, and being in a physical
fight on school property) was also higher among male than
female students. However, the prevalence of having not gone to
school because of safety concerns, being electronically bullied,
being bullied on school property, being forced to have sexual
intercourse, physical dating violence, and sexual dating violence
was higher among female than male students. The prevalence
of all five suicide-related behaviors (feeling sad or hopeless,
seriously considering attempting suicide, having made a suicide
plan, attempting suicide, and having made a suicide attempt
resulting in an injury, poisoning, or overdose that had to be
treated by a doctor or nurse) also was higher among female
than male students. Rarely or never wearing a bicycle helmet,
riding with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, and texting
or e-mailing while driving did not vary by sex.
The prevalence of nine tobacco use risk behaviors (smoking a
whole cigarette before age 13 years; current cigarette use; usually
obtaining their own cigarettes by buying them in a store or gas
station; current smokeless tobacco use; current cigar use; current
electronic vapor product use; current cigarette or cigar use; current
cigarette, cigar, or smokeless tobacco use; and current cigarette,
cigar, smokeless tobacco, or electronic vapor product use) was higher
among male than female students. Having tried to quit smoking
cigarettes, the only health promoting tobacco use behavior, had
a higher prevalence among female than male students. However,
the prevalence of six tobacco use behaviors (ever trying cigarette
smoking, current frequent cigarette use, smoking more than
10 cigarettes per day, currently smoking cigarettes daily, usually
obtaining their own cigarettes by buying them on the Internet, and
ever use of electronic vapor products) did not vary by sex.
The prevalence of 14 of the 21 alcohol and other drug use
behaviors (drinking alcohol before age 13 years; having 10 or
more as the largest number of drinks of alcohol in a row; trying
marijuana before age 13 years; current marijuana use; ever
using synthetic marijuana; ever using hallucinogenic drugs; ever
using cocaine; ever using ecstasy; ever using heroin; ever using
methamphetamines; ever taking steroids without a doctors
prescription; ever taking prescription drugs without a doctors
prescription; ever injecting any illegal drug; and being offered,
sold, or given an illegal drug on school property) was higher
among male than female students. However, the prevalence of
ever drinking alcohol, usually obtaining the alcohol they drank
by someone giving it to them, and usually using marijuana by
smoking it was higher among female than male students. Four
alcohol and other drug use behaviors (current alcohol use, having
five or more drinks of alcohol in a row, ever using marijuana, and
ever using inhalants) did not vary by sex.
The prevalence of four risk (ever having had sexual intercourse,
having sexual intercourse before age 13 years, having sexual
45
intercourse with four or more persons during their life, and

drinking alcohol or using drugs before last sexual intercourse) and
one protective (condom use) sexual behavior was higher among
male than female students, while the prevalence of five protective
sexual behaviors (birth control pill use; IUD or implant use; shot,
patch, or birth control ring use; birth control pill, IUD or implant,
or shot, patch, or birth control ring use; and both condom use and
birth control pill; IUD or implant; or shot, patch, or birth control
ring use) was higher among female than male students. Current
sexual activity, not using any method to prevent pregnancy, and
having ever been tested for HIV did not vary by sex.
The prevalence of 17 of the 26 dietary behaviors (not eating
fruit or drinking 100% fruit juices; eating fruit or drinking
100% fruit juices two or more times and three or more times per
day; not eating vegetables; eating vegetables two or more times
and three or more times per day; drinking one or more, two or
more, and three or more glasses of milk per day; drinking soda or
pop one or more, two or more, and three or more times per day;
drinking sports drinks one or more, two or more, and three or
more times per day; drinking three or more glasses of water per
day; and eating breakfast on all 7 days) was higher among male
than female students. In contrast, the prevalence of only three
dietary behaviors (not drinking milk, not drinking soda or pop,
and not drinking sports drinks) was higher among female than
male students. Eating fruit or drinking 100% fruit juices one or
more times per day, eating vegetables one or more times per day,
not drinking water, drinking one or more and two or more glasses
of water per day, and not eating breakfast did not vary by sex.
The prevalence of six of the nine physical activity behaviors
(being physically active at least 60 minutes per day on 5 or more
days, being physically active at least 60 minutes per day on all
7 days, participating in muscle strengthening activities, attending
physical education classes, attending physical education classes
daily, and playing on at least one sports team) was higher among
male than female students. Only one physical activity behavior
(not participating in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on
at least 1 day) had a higher prevalence among female than male
students. Using computers 3 or more hours per day and watching
television 3 or more hours per day did not vary by sex.
The prevalence of obesity was higher among male than
female students, and the prevalence of overweight did not vary
by sex. The prevalence of describing themselves as overweight
and trying to lose weight was higher among female than male
students. Male students had a higher prevalence than female
students of getting eight or more hours of sleep on an average
school night, while female students had a higher prevalence
than male students of using an indoor tanning device, having
had a sunburn, and avoiding foods because of the risk of allergic
reactions. Ever having had asthma and having seen a dentist
did not vary by sex.

IUD or implant, or shot, patch, or birth control ring use),
six protective dietary behaviors (eating vegetables one or more
times per day, drinking one or more and two or more glasses
of milk per day, not drinking soda or pop, not drinking sports
drinks, and drinking one or more glasses of water per day),
two protective physical activity behaviors (being physically
active at least 60 minutes per day on 5 or more days and being
physically active at least 60 minutes per day on all 7 days),
and three additional behaviors (having seen a dentist, indoor
tanning device use, and having had a sunburn).
Black students had a higher prevalence than white and
Hispanic students of two injury-related risk behaviors (rarely or
never wearing a seatbelt and being in a physical fight), two sexual
risk behaviors (having sexual intercourse before age 13 years
and having sexual intercourse with four or more persons during
their life), four dietary risk behaviors (not eating vegetables, not
drinking milk, drinking sports drinks two or more times per day,
and not drinking water), two physical activity risk behaviors
(not participating in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on
at least 1 day and watching television 3 or more hours per day),
having had asthma, and avoiding food because eating the food
could cause an allergic reaction.
Hispanic students had a higher prevalence than white and
black students of riding with a driver who had been drinking
alcohol, feeling sad or hopeless, ever using electronic vapor
products, five alcohol or other drug use behaviors (drinking
alcohol before age 13 years; ever using synthetic marijuana;
ever using cocaine; ever using ecstasy; and being offered, sold or
given an illegal drug on school property), describing themselves
as overweight, and trying to lose weight.
The prevalence of seven injury-related behaviors (driving when

drinking alcohol, carrying a gun, carrying a weapon on school
property, being forced to have sexual intercourse, physical dating
violence, sexual dating violence, and having made a suicide
plan), six tobacco-related behaviors (ever tried cigarette smoking,
smoking a whole cigarette before age 13 years, smoking more
than 10 cigarettes per day, usually obtaining their own cigarettes
by buying them on the Internet, having tried to quit smoking
cigarettes, and current cigar use), two drug-related behaviors
(usually using marijuana by smoking it and ever using inhalants),
three sexual behaviors (currently sexually active, IUD or implant
use, and drinking alcohol or using drugs before last sexual
intercourse), four dietary behaviors (not eating fruit or drinking
100% fruit juices, eating fruit or drinking 100% fruit juices one
or more times per day, and drinking soda or pop one or more
and two or more times per day), and participating in muscle
strengthening exercises did not vary at all by race/ethnicity.
Assess Trends in Health Behaviors

Over Time
Because YRBSS has been implemented since 1991, YRBSS
data can be used to assess both long-term temporal trends (i.e.,
as long as 24 years) and more recent 2-year temporal changes
in health behaviors. This reports describes many long-term
linear increases and decreases in prevalence, which reflect real
reductions in risk behaviors and potential improvements in
health outcomes among high school students nationwide.
Long-term linear decreases occurred overall in the prevalence
of all three behaviors (for which long-term trend data were
available) that contribute to unintentional injuries (rarely or
never wore a bicycle helmet, rarely or never wore a seatbelt,
and rode with a driver who had been drinking alcohol).
However, based on significant quadratic trends, the prevalence
of rarely or never wearing a bicycle helmet has not changed
since 2001. Long-term linear decreases also occurred overall in
the prevalence of eight of the 11 violence-related behaviors for
which long-term trend data were available (carrying a weapon,
carrying a gun, carrying a weapon on school property, being
threatened or injured with a weapon on school property, being
in a physical fight, being injured in a physical fight, being in
a physical fight on school property, and being forced to have
sexual intercourse). However, a long-term linear increase was
identified in the prevalence of having not gone to school because
of safety concerns; no long-term linear changes were identified
in the prevalence of being electronically bullied and being
bullied on school property; and, based on significant quadratic
trends, the prevalence of carrying a weapon and carrying gun
has not changed since 1997. In addition, long-term linear
decreases occurred overall in the prevalence of three of the
five suicide-related behaviors (seriously considering attempting

suicide, having made a suicide plan, and attempting suicide).
Based on significant quadratic trends, the prevalence of having
made a suicide plan and attempting suicide increased since 2009.
of nine of the 10 tobacco use-related risk behaviors (for which
long-term trend data were available) (ever trying cigarette
smoking; smoking a whole cigarette before age 13 years; current
cigarette use; current frequent cigarette use; smoking more
than 10 cigarettes per day; currently smoking cigarettes daily;
current cigar use; current cigarette or cigar use; and current
cigarette, cigar, or smokeless tobacco use). The prevalence
of current smokeless tobacco use was the only tobacco-use
related risk behavior for which a long-term linear decrease
was not identified. In addition, a long-term linear decrease
was identified in the prevalence of the one tobacco use-related
protective behavior (having tried to quit smoking cigarettes).
of 13 of the 18 alcohol- and other drug use-related behaviors (for
which long-term trend data were available) (ever drinking alcohol;
drinking alcohol before age 13 years; current alcohol use; having
five or more drinks of alcohol in a row; trying marijuana before age
13 years; ever using hallucinogenic drugs; ever using cocaine; ever
using ecstasy; ever using heroin; ever using methamphetamines;
ever taking prescription drugs without a doctors prescription; ever
using inhalants; and being offered, sold, or given an illegal drug on
school property). No long-term linear trends were identified in the
prevalence of usually obtaining the alcohol they drank by someone
giving it to them, ever using marijuana, current marijuana use, ever
taking steroids without a doctors prescription, and ever injecting
any illegal drug. However, based on significant quadratic trends,
ever using marijuana decreased since 1997, current marijuana
use decreased since 1995, ever taking steroids without a doctors
prescription decreased since 2001, and ever injecting any illegal
drug decreased since 2011.
Long-term linear decreases occurred overall in the prevalence of
five sexual risk behaviors (ever having had sexual intercourse, having
sexual intercourse before age 13 years, having sexual intercourse with
four or more partners, being currently sexually active, and not using
any method to prevent pregnancy) and a long-term linear increase
occurred overall in the prevalence of condom use; IUD or implant
use; and birth control pill, IUD or implant, or shot, patch, or birth
control ring use. However, although a long-term linear increase in
the prevalence of condom use was identified, a significant quadratic
trend indicated that the prevalence of condom use decreased since
2003. In addition, a long-term linear decrease occurred in the
prevalence of having ever been tested for HIV.
Long-term linear decreases in the prevalence of not eating fruit
or drinking 100% fruit juices and drinking soda or pop one or
more, two or more, and three or more times per day and long-term
47
linear increases in eating vegetables three or more times per day

and not drinking soda or pop are positive trends. However, longterm linear decreases in the prevalence of eating fruit or drinking
100% fruit juices three or more times per day and long-term linear
increases in not eating vegetables are negative trends. Similarly, the
long-term linear decrease in the prevalence of watching television
3 or more hours per day which represents a decrease in sedentary
behaviors is probably offset by the long-term linear increase in
the prevalence of using computers three or more hours per day.
Monitor Progress Toward Achieving

National Health Objectives
The national YRBS is the primary source of data to measure
21 Healthy People 2020 objectives, including one leading health
indicator (15). The Healthy People 2020 objectives provide a
comprehensive agenda for improving the health of all persons
in the United States during 20112020. This report provides
the Healthy People 2020 targets and data from the 2015 national
YRBS for 18 of the 21 objectives measured using the national
YRBS (Table 125). The data indicate that, as of 2015, seven of
these 18 objectives have been achieved, which is nearly double the
number met when the 2013 national YRBS data were reported
in 2014 (16). Healthy People 2020 objective C-20.3 is to reduce
the proportion of adolescents in grades 912 who report using
artificial sources of ultraviolet light for tanning to 14.0%. During
2015, 7.3% of high school students nationwide had used an
indoor tanning device (e.g., sunlamp, sunbed, or tanning booth)
one or more times during the 12 months before the survey.
Healthy People 2020 objective IVP-34 is to reduce physical
fighting among adolescents to 28.4%. During 2015, 22.6% of
high school students nationwide had been in a physical fight one
or more times during the 12 months before the survey. Healthy
People 2020 objective IVP-36 is to reduce weapon carrying by
adolescents on school property to 4.6%. During 2015, 4.1%
of high school students nationwide had carried a weapon on
school property on at least 1 day during the 30 days before the
survey. Healthy People 2020 objective PA-8.2.3 is to increase
the proportion of adolescents in grades 9 through 12 who view
television, videos, or play video games for no more than 2 hours
per day. During 2015, 75.3% of high school students nationwide
watched television for no more than 2 hours per day on an average
school day. Healthy People 2020 objective SA-1 is to reduce the
proportion of adolescents who report that they rode, during the
previous 30 days, with a driver who had been drinking alcohol to
25.5%. During 2015, 20.0% of high school students nationwide
had ridden in a car or other vehicle driven by someone who had
been drinking alcohol one or more times during the 30 days before
the survey. Healthy People 2020 objective TU-2.1 is to reduce the
proportion of adolescents who use tobacco products during the
48
past 30 days to 21.0%. During 2015, 17.0% of high school

students nationwide smoked cigarettes; used chewing tobacco,
snuff, or dip; or smoked cigars, cigarillos, or little cigars on at
least one day during the 30 days before the survey. Healthy People
2020 objective TU-2.2 is to reduce the proportion of adolescents
who use cigarettes during the past 30 days to 16.0%. During
2015, 10.8% of high school students smoked cigarettes on at
least one day during the 30 days before the survey. Although
Table 125 indicates that Healthy People 2020 objective PA-3.1 to
increase the proportion of adolescents who meet current Federal
physical activity guidelines for aerobic activity has been met, the
2015 YRBS prevalence estimate for aerobic physical activity is not
comparable to the baseline prevalence estimate upon which the
target was set because of a change in the context of the question
starting with the 2011 national YRBS questionnaire.
To meet additional Healthy People 2020 objectives, positive
changes in school and community policies, programs, and
practices might be needed. For example, Healthy People 2020
objective IVP-35 is to reduce bullying among adolescents to
17.9%. During 2015, 20.2% of high school students nationwide
were bullied on school property during the 12 months before
the survey. Similarly, Healthy People 2020 objective SH-3 is to
increase the proportion of students in grades 9 through 12 who
get sufficient sleep to 33.2%. During 2015, 27.3% of high
school students nationwide got 8 or more hours of sleep on an
average school night.
Provide Comparable State and Large

Urban School District Data
One of the strengths of YRBSS is that it provides not just
national but state and large urban school district data. These data
are more likely to be used to develop, improve, and evaluate state
and local policies, programs, and practices because they reflect
a more relevant population. It is also possible to compare data
from the state and large urban school district surveys because
they share similar sample designs, questionnaires, data collection
procedures, and data processing procedures.
Across states, a range of 25 or more percentage points or a
fivefold variation or greater was identified for the following
15 behaviors:
rarely or never wore a bicycle helmet (minimum: 53.0%;
maximum: 94.1%);
texted or e-mailed while driving (minimum: 26.1%;
maximum: 63.2%);
carried a weapon on school property (minimum: 2.0%;
maximum: 10.7%);
smoked more than 10 cigarettes per day (minimum: 2.0%;
maximum: 14.6%);
currently smoked cigarettes daily (minimum: 1.0%;

maximum: 5.4%);
usually obtained their own cigarettes by buying them on
the Internet (minimum: 0.0%; maximum: 6.0%);
ever used heroin (minimum: 0.9%; maximum: 5.9%);
ever injected any illegal drug (minimum: 1.0%;
maximum: 5.4%);
IUD or implant use (minimum: 1.3%; maximum: 9.7%);
shot, patch, or birth control ring use (minimum: 1.6%;
maximum: 9.5%);
birth control pill; IUD or implant; or shot, patch, or birth
control ring use (minimum: 17.5%; maximum: 47.3%);
ate vegetables one or more times per day (minimum:
46.7%; maximum: 72.3%);
drank one or more glasses of milk per day (minimum:
23.0%; maximum: 51.6%);
attended physical education classes (minimum: 29.9%;
maximum: 87.8%); and
attended physical education classes daily (minimum:
5.8%; maximum: 60.7%).
Across large urban school districts, a range of 25 or more
percentage points or a fivefold variation or greater was
identified for the following 16 behaviors:
rarely or never wore a bicycle helmet (minimum: 55.1%;
maximum: 95.6%);
being in a physical fight (minimum: 13.9%;
maximum: 42.5%);
smoked more than 10 cigarettes per day (minimum: 0.9%;
maximum: 12.8%);
currently smoked cigarettes daily (minimum: 0.3%;
maximum: 1.6%);
usually obtained their own cigarettes by buying them in
a store or gas station (minimum: 14.9%; maximum: 64.5%);
tried to quit smoking cigarettes (minimum: 35.7%;
maximum: 81.8%);
ever used heroin (minimum: 1.5%; maximum: 8.3%);
ever had sexual intercourse (minimum: 25.9%; maximum:
52.4%);
IUD or implant use (minimum: 0.5%; maximum: 16.9%);
shot, patch, or birth control ring use (minimum: 1.1%;
maximum: 10.5%);
birth control pill; IUD or implant; or shot, patch, or birth
control ring use (minimum: 10.4%; maximum: 37.6%);
ever been tested for HIV (minimum: 7.0%;
maximum: 37.4%);
drank soda or pop three or more times per day (minimum:
2.6%; maximum: 13.5%);
ate breakfast on all 7 days (minimum: 16.4%;
maximum: 44.6%);
attended physical education classes (minimum: 33.4%;

maximum: 84.0%); and
attended physical education classes daily (minimum: 8.6%;
maximum: 42.7%).
Across states, the health behaviors with a range of 25 or more
percentage points or a five-fold variation or greater were fairly
evenly distributed across the following categories of behaviors:
injury and violence (three), cigarette use (three), other drug
use (two), birth control use (three), dietary behaviors (two),
and physical activity (two). In contrast, across the large urban
school districts, 81% of the health behaviors with a range of
25 or more percentage points or a five-fold variation or greater
were distributed across just three categories of behaviors: cigarette
use (four), sexual behaviors (four), and dietary behaviors and
physical activity (four). The variations in ranges might reflect
differences in state and local laws and policies, enforcement
practices, access to drugs, availability of effective school and
community interventions, prevailing behavioral and social
norms, demographic characteristics of the population, and adult
practices and health behaviors and also highlight how changes
in one or more of these factors might contribute to reductions
in health-risk behaviors among high school students.
Develop, Assess, and Improve HealthRelated Policies, Programs, and Practices

In addition to measuring progress toward achieving Healthy
People 2020 objectives, CDC and other federal agencies
use YRBS data in a variety or reports and publications to
stimulate support for and improvements in public health
interventions, including 2015 NCHHSTP State Health
Profiles (17), Indicators for Chronic Disease Surveillance (18),
Americas Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being,
2015 (19), and Prevention Status Reports (20). CDC also
uses YRBS data to assess the impact of funding initiatives.
More specifically, YRBS data are a primary data source for
monitoring the impact of two major CDC cooperative
agreements: Promoting Adolescent Health Through SchoolBased HIV/STD Prevention and School-Based Surveillance
(http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/fundedpartners/1308/
pdf/rfa-1308.pdf ) and State Public Health Actions to Prevent
and Control Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity and Associated
Risk Factors and Promote School Health (http://www.cdc.gov/
chronicdisease/about/state-public-health-actions.htm).
At the state and local level, health and education agencies and
nongovernmental organizations use YRBS data in a variety of
ways to improve health-related policies, programs, and practices.
For example, Connecticuts YRBS data on sexual behaviors were
used by the Connecticut State Board of Education to support
inclusion of comprehensive sexuality education in their position
49
statement on coordinated school health and by the Connecticut

Department of Education to help develop Guidelines for the
Sexual Health Education Component of Comprehensive Health
Education for local school districts on best practice policies,
programs, and instruction in sexual health education. Boston
Public Schools used their YRBS data on sexual behaviors in an
annual presentation to the Boston City Council to demonstrate
the need for sexual health education and services and to garner
support for the District Wellness Policy requiring schools to
teach comprehensive sexual health education and provide sexual
health services, including distribution of condoms at the high
school level. The Hawaii Department of Health used the dietary
behavior data from their YRBS to support their public education
campaign (on television, in malls, and in movie theatres) to reduce
youth consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and to track the
impact of school wellness policies which restrict access to sugarsweetened beverages on campus and at school-sponsored events.
The Los Angeles Unified School District used their YRBS data
to support a new Los Angeles County ordinance on electronic
vapor products and to support passage of a city-wide ordinance
banning electronic vapor products from public spaces, bars, and
restaurants. Montana YRBS data on bullying were used to support
passage of a new Student Protections Procedures rule requiring
schools to address bullying and threatening behavior in schools,
on school buses, at school-sponsored activities, and online and to
create a BullyFree Montana website and toolkit. The Bureau of
Children, Youth, and Families used New York City YRBS data on
attempted suicide to support a mental health awareness campaign
for teens that included videos and other online resources on New
York Citys dedicated web site for teens and that is available as part
of the Teen Talk Toolkit distributed to health educators in New
York City public middle and high schools.
Limitations
The findings in this report are subject to at least four
limitations. First, these data apply only to youth who attend
school and, therefore, are not representative of all persons in this
age group. Nationwide, in 2012, of persons aged 1617 years,
approximately 3% were not enrolled in a high school program
and had not completed high school (21). Second, the extent
of underreporting or overreporting of behaviors cannot be
determined, although the survey questions demonstrate good
test-retest reliability (5,8). Third, BMI is calculated on the
basis of self-reported height and weight, and, therefore, tends
to underestimate the prevalence of obesity and overweight (22).
Fourth, not all states and large urban school districts include
all of the standard questions on their YRBS questionnaire.
50
Conclusions
YRBSS is an ongoing source of high-quality data at the national,
state, and large urban school district levels for monitoring health
behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of mortality and
morbidity among youth and adults in the United States. In 2015,
in addition to the national data, 37 states and 19 large urban school
districts obtained data representative of their high school students.
YRBSS data are an important tool for planning, implementing,
and evaluating public health policies, programs, and practices in
each of these jurisdictions. Although beyond the scope of this
report, a particular strength of YRBSS (as compared to more
narrowly focused surveys) is that it allows analysis of the interrelationships among health behaviors (e.g., how alcohol and other
drug use is associated with sexual behaviors). Similarly, because of
its long history and consistent methodology, YRBSS can identify
not only national long-term temporal trends in health behaviors
overall as described in this report, but also long-term trends among
subgroups of students (e.g., by sex or race/ethnicity) and long-term
temporal trends at the state and large urban school district levels.
These trend analyses are particularly valuable for understanding
the impact of broad public health and school health policies and
practices designed to improve the health outcomes of students.
To maintain the quality of YRBSS data, increased support
for YRBSS, enhanced training and technical assistance for
participating state and local health and education agencies, an
increase in the number of states with representative data, more
substate surveys at the large urban school district and countyor school-district level, and more universal use of all standard
questions are needed. Further, to sustain the surveillance system
over time, it is important to understand the impact of new
education and public health laws, policies, and practices related
to data collection that might threaten the quality of YRBSS and
its ability to generate critical data for informing future efforts to
protect and promote the health of youth nationwide.

Among the 68.6% of students nationwide who dated or went out with someone during the 12 months before the survey, being physically hurt on purpose (counting
being hit, slammed into something, or injured with an object or weapon) by someone they were dating or going out with.
Among the 69.1% of students nationwide who dated or went out with someone during the 12 months before the survey, being forced to do sexual things (counting
kissing, touching, or being physically forced to have sexual intercourse) they did not want to do by someone they were dating or going out with.

** Non-Hispanic.
Note: The prevalence of dating or going out with someone during the 12 months before the survey varies slightly for physical dating violence and sexual dating
violence because of differences in the number of usable responses to each question.

2013, and 2015 are not comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 20052009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three
questions (in the following order) that asked the number of days students participated in 1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity; 2) at least 30 minutes of
moderate physical activity; and 3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011, 2013, and 2015 national YRBS questionnaires,
only the 60 minutes of aerobic physical activity question was included.

Such as, push-ups, sit-ups, or weight lifting, during the 7 days before the survey.
Non-Hispanic.
NOTE: Because of changes in question context starting in 2011, national YRBS prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011,
2013, and 2015 are not comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 20052009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three
questions (in the following order) that asked the number of days students participated in 1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity; 2) at least 30 minutes of
moderate physical activity; and 3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011, 2013, and 2015 national YRBS questionnaires,
only the 60 minutes of aerobic physical activity question was included.

The target setting method for this objective was a 10% improvement from the baseline; the baseline source was the 2009 national YRBS.However, because of changes
in question context starting in 2011, national YRBS prevalence estimates derived from the 60 minutes of physical activity question in 2011, 2013, and 2015 are not
comparable to those reported in 2009 or earlier. On the 20052009 national YRBS questionnaire, physical activity was assessed with three questions (in the following
order) that asked the number of days students participated in 1) at least 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity; 2) at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity;
and 3) at least 60 minutes of aerobic (moderate and vigorous) physical activity. On the 2011, 2013, and 2015 national YRBS questionnaire, only the 60 minutes of
aerobic physical activity question was included.
