Proposed Projects

    Youth Risk Behavior Survey--(0920-0258)--Renewal--National Center 
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP). The 
proposed project is the 2001 national school-based Youth Risk Behavior 
Survey. The purpose of this request is to renew OMB clearance to 
continue an ongoing biennial survey among high school students 
attending regular public, private, and Catholic schools in grades 9-12. 
The survey assesses priority heath risk behaviors related to the major 
preventable causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among 
both youth and adults in the U.S. OMB clearance for the 1999 survey 
expired January 2000 (OMB No. 0920-0258, expiration 01/00). Data on the 
health risk behaviors of adolescents is the focus of approximately 40 
national health objectives in Healthy People 2010. The Youth Risk 
Behavior Survey provides data to measure at least 10 of these health 
objectives and 3 of the 10 Leading Health Indicators. In addition, the 
Youth Risk Behavior Survey can identify racial and ethnic disparities 
in health risk behaviors. No other national source of data measures as 
many of the 2010 objectives that address behaviors of adolescents. The 
data also will have significant implications for policy and program 
development for school health programs nationwide.
    The total estimated cost to student respondents is $47,250, which 
is calculated in terms of their time spent in responding to the survey 
and is based on an assumed minimum wage of $5.25/hour for the 1999-2000 
school year. The total estimated cost to school administrators is 
$5,882 which is calculated in terms of their time spent in recruitment 
and is based on an assumed average hourly rate of $34. Thus, the total 
costs to respondents, based on the costs of their time, are $53,132.
