Today, CDC released the Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data Summary & Trends Report: 2011-2021, which provides key 2021 and trend data on health behaviors and experiences among high school students in the United States. These data offer an important snapshot of adolescent health and well-being related to sexual behavior, substance use, experiences of violence, mental health, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This year’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey report also includes data on students’ experiences of unstable housing, school connectedness, and parental monitoring to build on our understanding of young people’s environments and opportunities to improve them.
