The document summarizes the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS), which collects data on risky health behaviors among youth. Some key points:
- The YRBS is conducted nationally and in Georgia to monitor priority health risk behaviors like substance use, violence, sexual behaviors, diet, and physical activity.
- In Georgia, the YRBS surveys approximately 2,000 high school students and 2,000 middle school students every other year. It finds high rates of behaviors like insufficient physical activity, obesity, alcohol and drug use, and violence.
- The data is used to inform health policies and programs, describe trends over time, support funding requests, and create awareness among stakeholders like legislators and school

Presentation from Mentor CEO Michael O'Toole and Andrew Brown, formerly of DrugScope and now working with Mind and PHE.
Abstract—Obesity is the major global nutrition concern. Modernisation and urbanisation have led to changes in dietary and lifestyle factors which are contributing to the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity.
Objective: To find out various life style risk factors for obesity among school children of affluent families aged 10-18 years in Jaipur city.
Methods: A cross-sectional study in ten randomly selected schools of Jaipur city with tuition fee > 18000 ₹/year was conducted from July 2012 to April 2013. 1610 students of class V to XII were included and their detailed life style history with anthropometric measurements was recorded after their informed written consent. Indian Academy of Pediatrics' growth Monitoring Guidelines for children from birth to 18 years was followed for defining and classifying obesity.
Result: 364 (22.61%) participants were found obese/overweight. Watching television during meals, frequency of main meals outside home per month, frequency of snacks outside home per week and duration of television/ computer watching per day were found significant predictors of overweight/ obesity on binary multivariate logistic regression method.
Conclusion: The present study highlights childhood overweight/obesity is an emerging health problem (22.61%) and lifestyle factors are important risk for it.

Abstract—Sexual health (SH) and sexual behavior of young people have become a growing public concern. But few studies have been conducted to investigate the prevalence and psychosocial correlates of this phenomenon.
Purpose: To understand college students’ sexual knowledge (SK), sexual attitudes (SA), sexual desire (SD) and sexual behavior (SB).
Methods: A self-reported questionnaire survey on SK, SA, SD, and SB was conducted among 520 university students. Their demographic data, SK, SA, SD, and SB were assessed.
Results: A total of 500 students completed the questionnaire. The SKS total score had a mean of 23.05; 105 (21.0%) subjects had had premarital sex; 121 (24.2%) had a partner; 117 (23.4%) had a medical educational background. The results demonstrated an increased risk of premarital sex amongst males and subjects with the risk factors of smoking, drinking, having a partner, and having higher levels of SD and SK and more open SA.
Conclusions: This study provides support for the idea that university students lack SK (especially regarding contraception knowledge), even though the students had a medical educational background. Additionally, a considerable amount of them engaged in premarital SB. Our findings also suggest that university students need sex education, particularly in combining sexuality with their life, in relating to others maturely as a sexual individual, in employing contraception, and in preventing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Our study suggests that interventions aimed at expanding university students’ SK and other related skills are required.

These guidelines, developed in collaboration with specialists from universities and from national, federal, state, local, and voluntary agencies and organizations, are based on an in-depth review of research, theory, and best practices in healthy eating and physical activity promotion in school health, public health, and education. Because every guideline might not be appropriate or feasible for every school to implement, individual schools should determine which guidelines have the highest priority based on the needs of the school and available resources.
Household Demographic Predictors of Drug and Substance Abuse among High Schoo...Premier Publishers
Purpose: The accessibility, affordability, and consumption of abused drugs by the youths have attracted great concern among public health personnel. This descriptive cross-sectional study investigated household demographic predictors of drugs and substance abuse among high school students in Kisumu East Sub-County, Kisumu County.
Methods: Sample size of 434 was calculated using Yamane formula and the participants selected through Snow ball, random, cluster and stratified sampling. Descriptive data was summarized using tables while inferential statistic done using Chi square and logistic regression. Data collection done through observation and semi- structured questionnaires. P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Overall, 219 (61.17%) students reported to have engaged in drug and illicit substance abuse with higher proportion reported among the Christians as compared to Islamic and Hinduism. Religion, Parental / guardian’s level of education and the person living with the student were found to significantly predict the abuse of drug and illicit substance among high school students (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Drug and illicit substance abuse remains a major public health problem among all age groups worldwide with several negative impacts. Due to its magnitude, it calls for concerted multi-sectorial effort by all stakeholders for the dream of drug free world to be achieved.

Solution
Description of the System: The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System
(YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors among youth and young
adults: 1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3)
alcohol and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;
5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. In addition, YRBSS monitors the
prevalence of obesity and asthma. YRBSS includes a national school-based Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS) conducted by CDC and state and large urban school district school-based
YRBSs conducted by state and local education and health agencies. This report summarizes
results from the 2011 national survey, 43 state surveys, and 21 large urban school district surveys
conducted among students in grades 9–12. Results: Results from the 2011 national YRBS
indicated that many high school students are engaged in priority health-risk behaviors associated
with the leading causes of death among persons aged 10–24 years in the United States. During
the 30 days before the survey, 32.8% of high school students nationwide had texted or e-mailed
while driving, 38.7% had drunk alcohol, and 23.1% had used marijuana. During the 12 months
before the survey, 32.8% of students had been in a physical fight, 20.1% had ever been bullied
on school property, and 7.8% had attempted suicide. Many high school students nationwide are
engaged in sexual risk behaviors associated with unintended pregnancies and STDs, including
HIV infection. Nearly half (47.4%) of students had ever had sexual intercourse, 33.7% had had
sexual intercourse during the .

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

These are the 3 missions of the DCH. The YRBS appropriately fits into the DCH mission by : monitoring the health behaviors among youth so as to guide health planning, use of health resources and thus improving the health outcomes of the youth in Georgia
Here are of the DCH initiatives for the year 2011 and YRBS fits into the Public Health and Health improvement
During the next 45 min or so…I will go through the following topics in my presentation Describe what is YRBS all about Provide some background on the national YRBS and then YRBS in Ga What do we measure How do we use the data at the state How can you use the data
The YRBSS includes a school-based survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since 1991. The survey in conducted biennially…usually during the spring semester of every odd year The survey is conducted as a : national YRBS, state YRBS and by some local educational health agencies and tribal govt YRBS 2009 data will be used to Measure progress toward achieving national health objectives for Healthy People 2020 and of other program and policy indicators. Assess trends in priority health-risk behaviors among high school students. Evaluate the impact of broad school and community interventions at the national, state, and local levels.
The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors priority health-risk behaviors and the prevalence of obesity and asthma among youth and young adults.
At its inception in 1991: 26 states, 11 districts and 2 territories participated Over time this has gradually increased and In 2009, 47 states, 23 districts and 4 territories I will discuss about the weighted/unweighted results a few slides later
Head injury is the leading cause of death in bicycle crashes and use of bicycle helmets is the single most effective way of reducing head injuries and fatalities. In 2009, approx 10 % of HS students nationiwide and in GA never or rarely wore a seatbelt while riding in a car driven by someone else. hp2010 obj: riding with drunk driver was 30% Similarly, nationwide in 2009 approx 10% of HS students had driven a car or other vehicle one of more times when they were drinking alcohol Use of safety belt : 92% …so 8% never or rarely ….GA was at approx 10%
These questions measure violence related behaviors and school related violent behaviors In GA, among HS students approx 19% had carried a weapon, about 5.5% had carried a weapon on school property on atleast 1 day during the 30 days before the survey. Physical fighting is a marker for problem behaviors and is associated with serious injury-related health outcomes. Among HS, approx a third of the students had been in a physical fight one or more times during the 12 months before the survey. HP2010 : Reduce weapon carrying by adolescents on school property to 4.9 percent of students in grades 9 through 12 who carried weapons on school property during the past 30 days. Reduce physical fighting among adolescents to 32 percent of adolescents in grades 9 through 12 who engaged in physical fighting in the previous 12 months.
Violence victimization: generally measured as being threatened in school, missing school, intimate Partner victimization and bullying is associated with depression, suicidal ideation, increased odds of repeat common health problems, school absenteeism, psychological distress Approx 16% of HS sctudents in GA had been hit, slapped or physically hurt on purpose by their bf or gf during 12 months before the survey. Slightly less than a third of the students had been bullied on school property during the 12 mo before the survey.
Bullying on school property is more common in middle school than HS. Lower school grades, whites and females were more likely to be bullied.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youth ages 15-19. A prior suicidal attempt, depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation are some of risk factors of a fatal adolescent suicide attempt. More than a quarter of the HS students in GA felt sad or hopeless for almost two weeks or more in a row that they stopped doing usual activities. HS students in GA have a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt as compared to HS students nationwide. The YRBS 2009 rates will provide as a baseline meaure for progress towards the related HP 2020 objective. Reduce the rate of suicide attempts by adolescents requiring medical attention. (high school students) : 1% There was no HP2010 OBJ for attempted suicide
These questions measure current smoking, use of SLT and alcohol use among HS students in GA. More than a third of the HS students were current alcohol drinker and slightly less than a quarter used some form of tobacco. HP2010 obj: Reduce tobacco use by adolescents. (high school students) – 21%
Trends of increasing prevalence of smoking behavior with increasing grade. By 12 th grade almost 1 out of every 5 HS students were current smoker.
Declining trends over time
22-11 Television viewing: less than 2 hours per school day (students in grades 9 through 12) 75% 22-09 Participation in daily physical education in schools (students in grades 9 through 12) 50%
