Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: This report summarizes the findings of a cognitive interview study to test questions on alcohol and marijuana consumption by teens for use in The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). The YRBSS monitors high priority health-risk behaviors among high school students, including alcohol use. The system includes a national survey that is conducted by CDC, as well as state and local surveys that are coordinated by state and local education and public health agencies in collaboration with other partners (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). State and local Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS) include core questions on alcohol and other topics as well as state/local optional questions.
