Youth Risk Behavior Survey: 2014 Assessment
Roanoke County Schools has been assessing youth risk behaviors in grades 6-12 (all grades) every other year since late 1990s.
The Prevention Council of Roanoke County works closely with Roanoke County Schools and re-examines the suitability of the YRBS questions.
As a result, the YRBS has changed over a 12 year period to be more responsive to school and community concerns.
