2001 Michigan Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)
Risk Behavior Fact Sheets
return to 2001 YRBS Reports

The Michigan Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is part of a nationwide surveying effort led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor students’ health risks and behaviors in six categories identified as most likely to result in adverse outcomes.  These categories include:  unintentional injury and violence, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy or disease, dietary behaviors, and physical inactivity.

Forty-three Michigan schools and 3,630 students participated in the 2001 YRBS.  High response rates allow results of the 2001 YRBS to be generalized to all Michigan high school students.


As part of the 2001 YRBS Report, a separate fact sheet was produced for each of the six risk behavior.  To view the fact sheet information on the web, select from the left column below. Links in the right column will download the pdf version formatted for print.  To view the pdf format you will need a current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader which you can download free at www.adobe.com  (Note:  The pdf files are very large and could take an exceedingly long time to download on a dial-up connection.)
