Youth Risk Behavior Survey

The Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) conducted the Suburban Cook County Youth Risk Behavior Survey (SCC YRBS) in 2020, 2022, and 2024. This survey assesses health behaviors among public high school students in grades 9–12 across 125 suburban municipalities.

Modeled after the CDC’s national Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), the SCC YRBS collects data on topics such as injuries, violence, substance use, sexual health, nutrition, physical activity, and other health-related behaviors. After a decade-long gap since the last survey in 2010, CCDPH resumed the effort in 2020, using both paper and electronic survey formats.

The results help guide public health programs and policies that promote the well-being of adolescents in Suburban Cook County.

Learn more about the survey and access the 2020 Report, 2022 report, and 2024 report.
