To examine the effect of data collection setting on the prevalence of priority health risk behaviors among adolescents.
Analyses were conducted using data from two national probability surveys of adolescents, the 1993 national school-based Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and the 1992 household-based National Health Interview Survey (NHIS/YRBS). Forty-two items were worded identically on both surveys.
Thirty-nine of the 42 identically worded items (93%) showed that the YRBS produced estimates indicating higher risk than the NHIS. Twenty-four of these comparisons yielded statistically significant differences. The prevalence estimates affected most were those for behaviors that are either illegal or socially stigmatized.
School-based surveys produce higher prevalence estimates for adolescent health risk behaviors than do household-based surveys. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and both can play a role in assessing these behaviors.
探讨数据收集方式对青少年优先健康风险行为患病率的影响。
分析采用了两项全国青少年概率调查的数据，即1993年全国学校青少年风险行为调查（YRBS）和1992年家庭全国健康访谈调查（NHIS/YRBS）。两项调查中有42个项目措辞相同。
42个措辞相同的项目中有39个（93%）显示，YRBS得出的估计表明风险高于NHIS。其中24项比较产生了统计学上的显著差异。受影响最大的患病率估计是那些非法或社会污名化行为的估计。
与家庭调查相比，学校调查得出的青少年健康风险行为患病率估计更高。每种方法都有优缺点，两者在评估这些行为方面都能发挥作用。
