Proposed Project: The National School-based Youth Risk Behavior
Survey, OMB No. 0920-0493--Reinstatement--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
The purpose of this request is to renew OMB clearance to continue
an ongoing biennial survey among high school students attending regular
public, private, and Catholic schools in grades 9-12. Data will be
collected in the Spring of 2005 and the Spring of 2007 and will assess
priority health risk behaviors related to the major preventable causes
of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among
[[Page 17670]]
both youth and adults in the U.S. OMB clearance for the 2003 YRBS
survey expired November 2003, OMB No. 0920-0493. Data on the health
risk behaviors of adolescents is the focus of approximately 40 national
health objectives in Healthy People 2010. The Youth Risk Behavior
Survey provides data to measure at least 10 of these health objectives
and 3 of the 10 Leading Health Indicators. In addition, the Youth Risk
Behavior Survey can identify racial and ethnic disparities in health
risk behaviors. No other national source of data measures as many of
the 2010 objectives that address behaviors of adolescents. The data
also will have significant implications for policy and program
development for school health programs nationwide. The estimated
annualized burden over the three-year period is 6,115 hours. There is
no cost to respondents.
