How can state leaders mobilize to meet the health and safety needs of its school-age children? To understand more about children's health, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) has surveyed Wisconsin students. In 1993 the DPI and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) joined forces to conduct the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Researchers designed the 99 questions in the survey to measure objectives set by the CDC as part of its Year 2000 initiative. The CDC defined 16 objectives regarding the health of American youth. The objectives address five areas of concern: (1) intentional and unintentional injuries; (2) the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs; (3) sexual activity; (4) dietary patterns; and (5) physical activity. The survey instrument, objectives and rationale are provided in the full report of survey results. Nearly 6,000 students in grades six, eight, and nine through twelve participated. The weighted responses can be used to make important inferences concerning the priority health-risk behaviors of all Wisconsin public school student at each level. Where data were available, Wisconsin rates are compared to national rates. In addition to identifying risky behaviors, the survey results point to ways various individuals and groups might be able to promote improvements. The raw data appears in an appendix. The Executive Summary is included. Contains 32 references. (RJM)
