HS Youth Risk Behavior Survey
River Campus | 807 Rio Grande Street, Austin, TX 78701
Our school is taking part in the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey. This survey is sponsored by CDC and will ask about the health behaviors of 9th through 12th grade students.
The survey will ask about nutrition, physical activity, injuries, and tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use. It will also ask about sexual behaviors that could lead to pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Students will be asked to fill out a survey that takes about 35 minutes to complete. Doing this survey will cause little or no risk to your child. The only potential risk is that some students might find certain questions to be sensitive.
The survey has been designed to protect your child’s privacy. Students will not put their names on the survey. Also, no school or student will ever be mentioned by name in a report of the results. Your child will receive no immediate benefit from taking part in the survey; however, the results of this survey will help with our planning around topics that will help support our students and allow us to reach out to knowledgeable partners to help better our students' health and overall wellbeing.
We would like all students to take part in the survey, but the survey is voluntary. No action will be taken against the school, you, or your child if your child does not take the survey. Students may skip any questions they do not wish to answer. In addition, students may stop taking the survey at any point without penalty. If you would like to see the survey, please contact Avé Luke-Simpson (a.luke-simpson@headwaters.org) and she can provide a copy as well as the rationale for each of the questions included.
