Query Builder for Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Query Module - Felt Too Unsafe to go to School

Overview

The YRBS Survey data in this IBIS-Q query module is collected by the Utah State Office of Education as part of the biennial Utah School Health And Risk Prevention Survey (SHARP) project. The YRBS includes surveys of representative samples of 9th through 12th grades students in public schools. It collects uniform, state-specific data on risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death, disability, and social problems among youth and adults. In addition to determining the prevalence of health risk behaviors, the YRBS assesses changes over time and allows comparisons to national data and data collected by other states.

Getting Started

Follow the steps to narrow your query and display your results. When you are done forming your query, click "Submit" at the bottom of the screen (last step) to get your query result.

  • Select the year or years you want to include.

  • Select the grade or grades you want to include.

  • Select race/ethnicity to include. Default is all races/ethnicities.

To display a map, you must select Geographic Area in Display By (category) and None in Group By (series)

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls the ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns. Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified.

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. All other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Available Measures

Defines the primary measure value to display in the map and graph.
