Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)Monitors priority health-risk behaviors and the prevalence of obesity and asthma among youth and young adults. The YRBS is a school-based survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state, territorial, tribal, and district surveys conducted by state, territorial, and local education and health agencies and tribal governments. All regular public schools containing grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 were included in the sampling frame. Schools were selected systematically with probability proportional to enrollment in grades 6 through 12 using a random start. The YRBS is conducted biennially every odd year, usually in the spring semester.

School Health Profiles (Profiles) Assists state and local education and health agencies in monitoring and assessing characteristics of school health education; physical education; school health policies related to HIV infection/AIDS, tobacco-use prevention, and nutrition; asthma management activities; and family and community involvement in school health programs. Data from Profiles can be used to improve school health programs. Two questionnaires are used to collect data - one for school principals and one for lead health education teachers. The Profiles survey is conducted biennially every even year, usually in the spring semester.
