Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved on the following conditions: CDC must take additional steps to ensure an adequate overall response rate for the YRBS. The previous years' effective response rates are insufficiently low to ensure a representative sample. CDC should focus in particular on increasing the school-level participation. Approval of this collection for the future is contingent upon significantly improved response rates. CDC shall report to OMB the response rate obtained from the 1999 YRBS as soon as it is available. If response rates have not improved, CDC will need to rethink the school-based approach and redesign the survey in a way to ensure sufficient response rates. In addition, CDC shall revise the questions on race and ethnicity to be in full conformance with the new OMB standards. Government surveys are being revised to use the two question format, including other surveys of students. CDC shall take necessary steps to bridge the gap between the old and new versions. OMB is willing to assist in this regard.
