The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) collects essential data on the behaviors and experiences of middle and high school students in our community. By analyzing this data gathered in schools, we gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by youth, including mental health, substance use, physical activity, and more. The YRBS is a valuable resource for shaping programs and policies that promote healthy behaviors and support the well-being of young people in Davidson County.
YRBS data is collected every odd year in collaboration with Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS).
