COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT CRITIQUE
For this assignment you will assume the role of a social worker, working in an agency serving high school aged youth. To offer better services your board of directors wants to know more about health-related behaviors of teenagers. In your search for community assessment tools, you find out about the Youth at Risk Behavioral Surveillance System (YRBSS). You decide to prepare a document, giving an overview of the YRBSS, that will go to your board of directors.
In this document, you will present a broad overview of the YRBSS. In the overview discuss the sampling strategy, sample size(s), and outcome measures. This link should get you to a report on the methodology of the YRBSS: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/pdf/rr/rr6201.pdfLinks to an external site.
In addition to the broad overview, your job is to appraise reliability and validity of the tool. With what level of confidence can the results of this survey be generalized to your population (high school students in Abilene, Texas).
