2023 YRBS Information
The 2023 YRBS was administered between January 3 and June 30, 2023. Survey procedures were designed to protect the privacy of students by allowing anonymous and voluntary participation. A scientific sample of 1,882 students at 42 randomly selected Wisconsin high schools completed a self-administered, anonymous, 89-item questionnaire. The Wisconsin 2023 YRBS Summary Report and the information sheets provided highlight some of the statewide results.
