The national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) (63) was
developed in the late 1980s to monitor health-risk behaviors
that contribute substantially to the leading causes of death,
disability, and social problems among children and young
adults in the United States (available at http://www.cdc.gov/
yrbs). CDC conducts the national YRBS to monitor priority
health-risk behaviors, obesity, and asthma among high school
students in the United States
