CDC Releases Youth Risk Behavior Survey: Data Summary & Trends Report 2009-2019

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data Summary & Trends Report 2009-2019 earlier this year. The report focuses on four areas linked to STDs and teen pregancy: Sexual Behavior, High-Risk Substance Use, Experiencing Violence, and Mental Health and Suicide, and looks at how "health behaviors and experiences related to these four areas contribute to substantial morbidity for adolescents."
