青春期的健康危险行为通常会持续到成年，并成为美国发病率和死亡率的主要原因。国家、州、地区、部落和地方各级的青年健康行为数据有助于监测旨在促进青少年健康的公共卫生干预措施的有效性。青少年危险行为监测系统(YRBSS)是美国最大的公共卫生监测系统，监测高中生广泛的健康相关行为。YRBSS包括具有全国代表性的青年危险行为调查(YRBS)，以及以州、地方学区、地区和部落学校为基础的独立YRBSS。这份概览报告介绍了监测系统和2019年调查方法，包括抽样、数据收集程序、答复率、数据处理、加权和本MMWR补编中提出的分析。其中包括2019年YRBS参与地图、调查回复率和学生人口统计特征。2019年，美国各地(全国和44个州、28个地方学区、三个领地和两个部落政府)共向高中生人口管理了78个YRBSS，这是自1991年该监测系统建立以来具有代表性数据的参与地点数量最多的一次。本MMWR补编中的九份报告基于2018年8月至2019年6月期间收集的国家YRBS数据。2019年YRBS结果的完整描述和可下载数据现已发布，(https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm).Efforts正在改进YRBS和相关数据，包括更新全国问卷的可靠性测试，过渡到电子调查管理(例如，平板电脑平台的试点测试)，以及探索创新的分析方法，根据学校层面的社会经济状况和地理位置对数据进行分层。利益相关者和公共卫生从业者可以使用YRBS数据(在国家、州、部落、地区和地方司法管辖区进行比较)来估计不同学生群体中与健康相关的行为的流行率，识别学生危险行为，监测健康行为趋势，指导公共卫生干预，并跟踪实现国家健康目标的进展情况。
Health risk behaviors practiced during adolescence often persist into adulthood and contribute to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Youth health behavior data at the national, state, territorial, tribal, and local levels help monitor the effectiveness of public health interventions designed to promote adolescent health. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) is the largest public health surveillance system in the United States, monitoring a broad range of health-related behaviors among high school students. YRBSS includes a nationally representative Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and separate state, local school district, territorial, and tribal school-based YRBSs. This overview report describes the surveillance system and the 2019 survey methodology, including sampling, data collection procedures, response rates, data processing, weighting, and analyses presented in this MMWR Supplement. A 2019 YRBS participation map, survey response rates, and student demographic characteristics are included. In 2019, a total of 78 YRBSs were administered to high school student populations across the United States (national and 44 states, 28 local school districts, three territories, and two tribal governments), the greatest number of participating sites with representative data since the surveillance system was established in 1991. The nine reports in this MMWR Supplement are based on national YRBS data collected during August 2018-June 2019. A full description of 2019 YRBS results and downloadable data are available (https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm).Efforts to improve YRBSS and related data are ongoing and include updating reliability testing for the national questionnaire, transitioning to electronic survey administration (e.g., pilot testing for a tablet platform), and exploring innovative analytic methods to stratify data by school-level socioeconomic status and geographic location. Stakeholders and public health practitioners can use YRBS data (comparable across national, state, tribal, territorial, and local jurisdictions) to estimate the prevalence of health-related behaviors among different student groups, identify student risk behaviors, monitor health behavior trends, guide public health interventions, and track progress toward national health objectives.
