This paper presents the results of a survey that determined the risk behaviors of Washington adolescents. The Washington State Survey of Adolescent Health Behaviors (WSSAHB) provides information about a variety of behaviors that impact student health: the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs; diet and physical activity; safety and violence; sexual behaviors; and suicide. The survey was administered anonymously to a total of 15,463 sixth-, eighth-, tenth-, and twelfth-graders from 144 Washington public schools during December 1992 through February 1993. Participation was voluntary. The analysis demonstrates associations among student behaviors; however, it does not show causality. The findings do indicate that relationships exist among student use of alcohol and other drugs, violence-related behaviors, sexual behaviors, and suicidal ideation and attempt. Students who said that they had been physically and sexually abused were more likely to report having thoughts about committing suicide than those who had not been abused. The analysis also identified differences between males and females and between students living in rural and nonrural areas. Thirty tables and 31 figures are included. Appendices contain a summary report and information on the development of special scales. Contains 23 references. (LMI)
