Youth Risk Behavior Survey - February 25, 2022
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey is given to all 9th and 11th grade high school students. BMHS will administer this survey on Friday, February 25, 2022.. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey is an opportunity for students to share their feelings and views regarding safety concerns, school culture and climate, tobacco/alcohol/other drug use, stress, and mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. The district uses the data to develop and implement resources, procedures, and outreach to create a safe and welcoming environment for each and every student.
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). This survey will ask about safety concerns, school culture and climate, tobacco/alcohol/other drug use, stress, and mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. Students will be asked to fill out a computer-based questionnaire that takes about 45 minutes to complete. They will take the survey during regular class time. The survey has been designed to protect your child’s privacy. Students will not put their names on the survey. Completing this anonymous survey will present little or no risk to your child. The only potential risk is that some students might find certain questions to be sensitive. No class or student will ever be mentioned by name in a report of the results. The results of this survey will help children in the future by influencing health and safety programs.
The survey is voluntary and students may “Opt Out” at anytime during the survey. No action will be taken against you, or your child, if your child does not participate. Students can skip any question they do not wish to answer. In addition, students may stop participating in the survey at any point without penalty.
If you have questions about the survey, call Samantha Wellnitz at 608.361.3143.
