2021 Nevada High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS): Sexual and Gender Minority Special Report
Date
2024-03Type
Technical ReportDescription
Priority health risk behaviors (i.e. preventable behaviors that contribute to the leading
causes of morbidity and mortality) are often established during childhood and
adolescence and extend into adulthood. Ongoing surveillance of youth risk behaviors is
critical for the design, implementation, and evaluation of public health interventions to
improve adolescent health. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is a national
surveillance system that was established in 1991 by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) to monitor the prevalence of health risk behaviors among youth.
The Nevada High School YRBS is a biennial, anonymous, and voluntary survey of
students in 9th through 12th grade in regular public, charter, and alternative schools.
This special report summarized differences in behavioral health outcomes by sexual
and gender identity using the 2021 Nevada High School YRBS.
