Abstract
Description
In 2019, 36 high schools were randomly chosen by the CDC to represent Nevada. To
ensure greater representation from schools in all districts, the Nevada Division of Public
and Behavioral Health contracted with the University of Nevada, Reno, School of
Community Health Sciences to conduct the YRBS in all high schools throughout the
state. The 2019 Nevada High School YRBS provides statewide data to assess priority
health-risk behaviors among high school students; measure progress toward achieving
national health objectives for Healthy People 2020 and other program and policy
indicators; and evaluate the impact of school and community interventions at the
national, state, and local level. It is our intention that these data will be used by
education and health professionals, policy makers, community members, and
researchers to improve the health of Nevada's high school students. This report
focuses on 2019 YRBS data from Washoe County High Schools (17 High Schools
and 1,038 students).
