Study to Examine Web-Based
Administration of the Youth Risk
Behavior Survey—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey
(YRBS) has been conducted biennially
since 1991 using paper-and-pencil
study is a survey of approximately 6000
9th- and 10th-grade students attending
schools in the United States, using the
YRBS questionnaire. In the second
study, students will be assigned
randomly to one of the following
conditions: (1) Paper-and-pencil group
administration without skip patterns, (2)
web-based group administration
without skip patterns, (3) web-based
group administration with skip patterns,
and (4) web-based individual
administration without skip patterns.
An additional 1500 9th- and 10th-grade
students assigned to condition #4 will
participate in a sub-study to assess how
incentives affect participation rates.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey and, in the case of school
administrators, to assist in school
recruitment.
questionnaires in schools. Because of
technological improvements in survey
research methods, CDC is considering
changing to Web-based administration
of the YRBS. Because YRBS is the only
national source of data for at least 10
national health objectives in Healthy
People 2010, it is critical to understand
(1) whether it is feasible to change to
web-based administration, and (2) how
a change to web-based administration,
both with and without the use of skip
patterns in the questionnaire, might
affect prevalence estimates of the
priority health risk behaviors reported
in the YRBS.
CDC is proposing two studies to
address these issues. The first study is
a survey of U.S. high school principals,
using a questionnaire designed to assess
the feasibility and burden of web-based
administration in schools. The second
