Terms of Clearance: Approval is granted contingent upon agreement that, before submitting the next renewal/reinstatement to OMB, CDC will conduct a peer review of the YRBS study design and implementation approach, and then refresh/update the design and implementation protocol accordingly. The review should engage experts from the National Center for Education Statistics to ensure that YRBS benefits from cross-agency expertise in conducting school-based surveys. A peer review report should be submitted with the next renewal/reinstatement. The YRBS should collaborate with CDC’s NYTS to prevent duplicative collection of youth tobacco use information and avoid competing national youth tobacco use estimates.

Abstract: The school-based National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is a biennial survey of high school students that assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems in the U.S. Minor changes incorporated into this reinstatement request include: an updated title for the information collection to accurately reflect the years in which the survey will be conducted, a slightly modified questionnaire, and a reclassification of urban status for schools based on a different variable now present in the commercially available sampling frame. The proposed research will use the previously OMB-approved sampling strategy, recruitment methods, and data collection procedures to conduct the YRBS among nationally representative samples of 9th-12th grade students in public and private schools in the U.S.
