The National YRBS is one component of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), an epidemiological surveillance system that was established by CDC to monitor the prevalence of major risk behaviors among American youth. The 1995 National YRBS focuses on priority health-risk behaviors established during youth that result in the most significant mortality, morbidity, disability, and social problems during both youth and adulthood. This data set contains information on 92 variables from the nationally representative sample of 10,904 students in grades 9-12 who were surveyed during 1995.
