Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Injury Data
The Injury and Violence Prevention Branch Surveillance Unit compiles and analyzes YRBS data related to injury and violence. The YRBS is conducted by the N.C. Healthy Schools Initiative and coordinated and supported by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction.
The N.C. YRBS helps assess behaviors in youth that impact their health now and in the future. Topics related to injury prevention include violence, personal safety, mental health, drugs and alcohol, protective factors and sexual behavior questions (for high school students only).
