Executive Summary
The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) is a national school-based survey supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which is implemented and conducted through a cooperative agreement with the Louisiana Department of Education to monitor priority health-risk behaviors among youth. The eight priority health-risk behaviors are Alcohol and Other Drug Use, Obesity, Physical Activity, Sex Education, Mental Health, Tobacco, Injury/Accident Prevention, and Violence and Bullying. Results from the YRBSS are used to guide programs and policies that support health and set and track progress toward achieving school health and health promotion program goals.
For the four years of available data for Louisiana, logistic regression analysis was used to determine trends over time. Considering variables in responses by gender, race/ethnicity and grade, this analysis looks at developing trends, year-to-year, for the entirety of Louisiana high schools students, as well as for the subgroups of gender, race/ethnicity and grade.
The following trend line graphs describe whether a behavior has increased, decreased, or stayed the same over time. Most of the graphs provide trends for the total population (i.e., Louisiana public high school students) and a few look at trends by gender. The notes included below individual graphs refer to particular trends for Louisiana data only, not national data.
Only YRBSS questions that appeared on the National YRBSS questionnaire are included in this report. Questions that only appear on the Louisiana YRBSS questionnaire are not included in this report.
In 2013, a random sample of 1,089 high school students at 28 public schools across the state was surveyed. A comparison of student data from previous years indicates the following trends:
Youth Risk Behavior Surveys Trend Graphs 2008-2013 5
• Alcohol and Other Drug Use: Overall alcohol use declined from previous years, though some indicators show use levels to be above the national average. Drug use, in contrast, showed a slight increase over previous years and maintained slightly higher rates compared to national data.
• Obesity: The percentage of overweight and obese students showed a slight decrease, generally in line with national trends. The percentage of students actively trying to lose weight showed a significant decrease from previous years.
• Physical Activity: The percentages of students regularly attending physical education classes and students participating in sports team showed a significant increase, above national levels. Indicators of physical inactivity among Louisiana high school students overall were higher than previous years as well as the current national trend.
• Sex Education: The year 2013 continued a slight decrease in the percentage of Louisiana students who had been taught about AIDS or HIV. The national data, in contrast, had experienced a similar decrease in previous years. The year 2013 brought a slight increase.
• Mental Health: In line with rising national trends, the percentage of Louisiana students expressing feelings of disinterest, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts showed a slight but significant rise compared to previous years.
• Tobacco: Almost all indicators revealed substantial decreases in the percentages of Louisiana students using tobacco products, particularly cigarettes. Use of smokeless tobacco amongst females, however, is on an increase. Overall, these trends are consistent with current national trends.
• Injury/Accident Prevention: Multiple indicators revealed significant decreases in youth exhibiting unsafe behaviors. Louisiana levels, though, are still slightly higher than national averages.
• Violence and Bullying: Both at and away from school, there was an increase in the percentage of Louisiana students involved in violent behavior and bullying, sustaining or bringing many state indicators above national levels.
