Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, invites the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project titled 2025 and 2027 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). CDC is requesting a three-year approval to reinstate, with changes, the data collection for the national YRBS, a biennially school-based survey of high school students in the United States. This project includes a validation study that will inform the development of questions for the 2027 YRBS questionnaire.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
2025 and 2027 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (OMB Control No.
0920-0493)--Reinstatement with Change--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to reinstate
with change, the data collection for the National Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS) (OMB Control No. 0920-0493), a school-based survey that
has been conducted biennially since 1991. OMB approval for the 2021
YRBS and 2023 YRBS expired November 30, 2023. CDC seeks a three-year
approval to conduct the YRBS in Spring 2025 and Spring 2027. Changes
incorporated into this Reinstatement request include the addition of a
validation study of fruit and vegetable intake, the results of which
will be used to inform changes to the 2027 YRBS questionnaire.
Additional changes include an updated title for the information
collection to accurately reflect the years in which the survey will be
conducted and minor
[[Page 9153]]
changes to the data collection instrument.
The YRBS assesses priority health risk behaviors related to the
major preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems
among both youth and young adults in the United States. Data on health
risk behaviors of adolescents are the focus of approximately 65
national health objectives in Healthy People 2030, an initiative of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The YRBS provides
data to measure 14 Healthy People 2030 objectives. In addition, the
YRBS can identify racial and ethnic disparities in health risk
behaviors. No other national source of data measures as many of the
Healthy People 2030 objectives addressing adolescent health risk
behaviors as the YRBS. The data also will have significant implications
for policy and program development for school health programs
nationwide.
In Spring 2025 and Spring 2027, the YRBS will be conducted among
nationally representative samples of students attending public and
private schools in Grades 9-12, and in 2025, the validation study will
be conducted among a convenience sample of schools and students.
Information supporting the YRBS also will be collected from state-,
district-, and school-level administrators and teachers. The table
below reports the number of respondents annualized over the three-year
project period. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 4,388.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
