Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Data Summary & Trends Report: 2009-2019



This CDC report provides an in-depth look at trends in sexual behavior, high-risk substance use, experience of violence, mental health, and suicide. This 2020 report examines 24 variables and includes three new health behaviors—recent prescription opioid misuse, STD testing, and HIV testing. It also provides data on the health behaviors and experiences of sexual minority youth from the 2015, 2017, and 2019 cycles of the national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), allowing trends to be reported for this population for the first time. Click here to view the report.
