The Lynchburg Youth Survey is a collaborative project between Lynchburg City Schools and their Health Advisory Board to assess health-risk behaviors among youth. It is hoped that other community and youth-based organizations will join the school system in taking the results of the survey and design and implement prevention programs aimed at improving the health of our youth.

The surveys are largely based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 1999 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), with some minor modifications of local interest. The survey results will allow for comparison of Lynchburg youth health behaviors with states across the nation. Monitoring the risk behaviors of young people is essential to understanding and altering these behaviors.
