CDC YRBSS Improvements in 2019

The article discusses key enhancements to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) in 2019. These improvements include:

• Record-high participation: A total of 78 jurisdictions, including U.S. states, territories, tribal governments, and local education agencies, conducted the Youth Risk Behavior Survey and obtained representative data from their student populations, setting a record in the system's 30-year history.
• Expanded data coverage: Increased participation from 67 jurisdictions in 2017 to 78 in 2019 provides better tracking of adolescent health indicators, such as behaviors among high school students, enabling comparisons across different areas.
• Nonresponse bias analyses: The CDC began using nonresponse bias analyses for state and local survey data to ensure higher data quality and reliability, addressing challenges in response rates.
