This guide is designed to help schools administer a shortened youth risk behavior survey more frequently. This shortened survey focuses on mental health, substance use, perceptions, and assets. Many of the questions are identical to those from the full survey, which allows schools and health officials to draw comparisons between already existing longitudinal data. This shortened survey is also available through SurveyMonkey, a user-friendly digital format that allows students to complete the survey using school-provided computers or tablets. The shorter format is also designed to take no more than 15 minutes of class time, which makes it easier for schools to implement without sacrificing a full class period. Lastly, the digital format allows schools to immediately analyze and compare results. No long delays means that school officials can immediately address concerning trends in real-time, and evaluate the effectiveness of school interventions. This format is also easy to edit, allowing schools to add a question or two to evaluate local programs.
