The Youth Risk Behavior Survey is administered biennially in odd years to public middle and high school students in Hawai'i. Data highlights are presented from Hawaii's 2017 high school survey results to enhance understanding of the relationship between health and academic achievement. This article reviews a select set of health-risk behaviors and their association with academic grades for Hawai'i public school students. The findings demonstrate that students who self-reported engaging in health protective behaviors also reported higher academic grades in school, while those who engaged in health-risk behaviors were more likely to report lower grades in school. This discussion can provide useful background information and benchmarks for research, policy, and local initiatives. It also supports the need for continued collaboration and a synergistic approach between education and health partners in Hawai'i in order to improve the health and academic achievement of our youth.
“青年风险行为调查”每两年在奇数年对夏威夷的公立初中和高中学生进行一次。本文呈现了夏威夷2017年高中调查结果中的数据亮点，以增进对健康与学业成绩之间关系的理解。本文回顾了一组特定的健康风险行为及其与夏威夷公立学校学生学业成绩的关联。研究结果表明，自我报告采取健康保护行为的学生在学校的学业成绩也更高，而那些有健康风险行为的学生更有可能报告较低的成绩。这一讨论可为研究、政策和地方倡议提供有用的背景信息和基准。它还支持夏威夷教育和健康伙伴之间持续合作及采取协同方法的必要性，以改善我们青少年的健康和学业成绩。
