The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is a national system of surveys used to monitor behaviors in school-aged children that can lead to poor health outcomes. North Dakota has conducted the YRBS in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since 1995. On odd-numbered years, ND students in grades 7-8 and 9-12 are administered a voluntary, anonymous survey questionnaire. Schools, teachers, public health professionals, community leaders, and policymakers in North Dakota use YRBS data for decision making, evaluation, and planning. 

To learn more about the ND YRBS or to request information, contact the ND Department of Health & Human Services at yrbsnd@nd.gov or (701) 328-1384.
