CVHS 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey — Translated for ESVOC

Conval Regional High School 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey Report

Greater Monadnock Public Health Region 


CVHS STUDENT SAMPLE IS 581 STUDENTS


Introduction 


The 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) report presents data which demonstrate the association between health-risk behaviors by sex and grade. We hope this report is useful in understanding high school student behaviors and assists you in developing educational programs, curriculum and communication tools to encourage and support healthy behaviors among students in your communities. 


School-level Estimates 


The 2017 survey response rate at Conval Regional High School was 79%, meaning 581 of 737 enrolled students took the survey1. School-level estimates are unweighted and based on a convenience sample of students in attendance and not opting out of participation in the YRBS on a given date and time during the school year. Results could be less representative if specific classrooms or classroom types were not included in the survey. To account for this and provide risk-behavior estimates for the entire school, we extrapolated survey results using school enrollment data.


State and Regional Estimates 


State and regional estimates were calculated from a random sample developed using scientific survey methods. These methods ensure the respondents are representative of students in the region in the state. The results account for student, classroom, school, and regional factors. The random sample is not designed to provide school-level estimates. Note: access to region-level results were first made available in 2015 and are not available prior to that year. Data that had a representative sample of students, appropriate documentation, and an overall response rate greater than or equal to 60%2 were weighted.

 

This report is produced in a partnership with the NH Department of Education and the NH Department of Health and Human Services. 


Responses by Sex and Grade* 


*Total students in bar graphs may not reflect the total surveyed as some students may choose not to self-identify by sex or grade. 

1Total students in bar graphs may not reflect the total surveyed as some students may choose not to self-identify by sex or grade. 2Overall response rate is computed as (number of participating schools/number of eligible sampled schools) X (number of usable questionnaires/number of eligible students sampled in participating schools), rounded to the nearest integer. 

Regional Public Health Network Substance Misuse Prevention Coordinators are available to assist schools in coordinating community pro ects that promote healthy behaviors and educate school officials and stakeholders. Coordinators may also assist schools in obtaining school and community grant funding.

Analysis


Consider the following factors:

8.2% of the total population (about 48 students), and therefore approximately 22% of the sexually active population, report their sexual experiences being non-consensual. This is more than ⅕ of the sexually active population at ConVal and most likely an underestimation; considering the difference between the population of students who have had sexual intercourse and the population of students who are otherwise sexually active. This rate runs as high as 25.1% in New Hampshire as a state.
