Abstract
School-based surveillance data, specifically the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance (YRBS) and School
Health Profiles (Profiles), are important to help monitor Kentucky youths’ experiences, behaviors, and the
school policies and practices that shape student well-being and safety. The Kentucky Injury Prevention and
Research Center (KIPRC), a bona fide agent for the Kentucky Department for Public Health and an
independent research center at the University of Kentucky, will collaborate with partners to implement
Component 3—state school-based surveillance—of the Improving Adolescent Health and Well-Being
Through School-Based Surveillance and the What Works in Schools Program. KIPRC will establish,
implement, and strengthen state-level school-based surveillance by conducting the YRBS Tier 1 in odd-
numbered years (2025, 2027, 2029) and the Profiles in even-numbered years (2026 and 2028). KIPRC will
collect, analyze, and disseminate YRBS and Profiles data to help inform the public, stakeholders/partners,
policymakers, and educators about the experiences and risk behaviors among Kentucky’s youth and to
support the development of school policies and practices that reduce priority health risk behaviors and
experiences among youth. Through strengthened surveillance and partnerships, KIPRC aims to improve
the behaviors and experiences of secondary school students.
