- Abstract
To meet the diverse and complex needs of school-age children, school nurses must practice student-centered, evidence-based, and quality care. As school nurses look to increase the use of data within their practice, the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is an essential source of information about adolescent behaviors that contribute to leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Results from the YRBS are available at the national, state and, in some cases, school district and county level. In addition to providing an overview of the YRBS survey, this article will guide readers on how to implement the survey, access results, and apply the findings within their student population. The use of these data aids nurses who act as leaders within the school community.
