Youth Risk Behavior Survey (Middle School)
The NYC Middle School Youth Risk Behavior Survey (MS YRBS) is conducted through an ongoing collaboration between the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the Department of Education (DOE), and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The New York City's YRBS is part of the CDC's National Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS). The survey's primary purpose is to monitor priority health risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, and social problems among youth in New York City.

Freshness
The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
OverdueNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset. A refresh you ask for on this page runs anyway.
The publisher set a regular schedule for this dataset but has not updated it for far longer than that schedule, so the automatic queue skips it. An hourly triage lifts this fence once the publisher updates it again, which takes up to about 7 hours 15 minutes.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
0 of 6 columns carry a concept; 3 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
