Youth Risk Behavior Survey

This coming Wednesday, 10/20/21, during homeroom, the students will be asked to take the Youth Risk Behavior Survey - YRBS. This survey is sent out every 2 years. The survey is anonymous and voluntary to do. If you would prefer that your child does not take the survey, simply have them tell their homeroom advisor that they do not want to take it. “The Wisconsin Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is conducted as part of a national effort by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor health-risk behaviors of the nation's high school students. These behaviors, in turn, result in the most significant causes of both mortality and morbidity during youth and adulthood. The behaviors monitored by the Wisconsin YRBS include traffic safety; weapons and violence; suicide; tobacco use; alcohol and other drug use; sexual behavior; and diet, nutrition, and exercise.” https://dpi.wi.gov/sspw/yrbs.
