Notes

The Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey is a biennial, voluntary survey of students attending middle and high
schools in Vermont.  The survey seeks to monitor trends in student
health and risk behaviors.  The indicators as a whole reflect a broad
definition of youth well-being.  Not only do the indicators monitor
behaviors associated with negative health and psychological outcomes,
but they also measure "developmental assets" - internal resources and
skills, as well as community, school, and other institutional supports.
These assets foster the development of thriving young adults.
