Measuring the Health of Vermont's Youth
Vermont collects student health survey responses every two years.
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is a collaboration between the Health Department,
Agency of Education
, and participating Vermont schools. Every two years, the survey is distributed around Vermont, and students anonymously share information on their health and risk behaviors. The survey covers topics like nutrition, exercise, sexual activity and substance use. The Vermont Health Department, CDC, and partners around Vermont use the survey results to keep our young people healthy and safe.
Note: The message at the top of certain CDC web pages regarding what the federal administration calls "gender ideology" does not reflect the views of the Vermont Department of Health. The Health Department will continue to collect data and share guidance for people of all identities to promote the physical, mental and social well-being of all people in Vermont.
