A key component of the grant is the implementation of two national school-based surveillance tools: 1) the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) used to monitor critical health-related behaviors of middle and high school-aged youth and; 2) the School Health Profiles (Profiles), a system of school leader and teacher surveys assessing school health policies and practices.
