Proposed Project 

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 

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 

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.
