• Description:
  The national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) uses a three-stage cluster sample design to produce a representative sample of 9th through 12th grade students. The target population consisted of all public, Catholic, and other private school students in grades 9 through 12. A weighting factor was applied to each student record to adjust for nonresponse and the oversampling of Black and Hispanic students in the sample. The final, overall weights were scaled so the weighted count of students was equal to the total sample size, and the weighted proportions of students in each grade matched population projections for each survey year. Because of the complexity of the cluster sampling design used, a statistical software package that can calculate sampling variance appropriately must be used. This document provides the information needed to correctly use and analyze data from the 2023 national YRBS.
