"In March 2007, the NH Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was completed by more than 1500 Cheshire County students in grades 9-12.  The YRBS is a national, representative survey of high school students developed by the CDC and administered in each state biennially.  This factsheet looks at the risk behaviors of teens in our region.  It reviews behaviors related to alcohol and other drugs, teen sexual practices and other health concerns.  How often do teens drink and use drugs? What other risks do teens take?  Is this part of growing up?  Should we be concerned?”
