The 2019 District of Columbia Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was administered between February and June 2019. Upon completing data collection from DC public and public charter middle and high schools, OSSE submitted raw data and answer sheets to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for final cleaning, weighting, and high level analysis. In December 2019, OSSE received from the CDC the summary data files and graphs below. These files describe survey results for every variable in the 2019 survey as well as initial trend analysis.
In an effort to provide timely, actionable data to local education agencies and community partners working in these important domains of youth health and wellness, OSSE is releasing the initial CDC-generated files before the OSSE-produced 2019 Report becomes available. (The 2019 DC YRBS Report will be available in spring 2020 and will include deeper analysis of subgroup results and trends around youth risk behavior.)
The files can be downloaded below and contain tabulations, graphs, and technical documentation to understand the survey results, create new materials, and conduct secondary data analyses.
