Koliba, C. 2011. Getting to Y: Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey Project evaluation. Montpelier, VT: The Vermont Agency of Education, 18 pp.

Annotation: This report presents findings from an evaluation of the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Project conducted in 2011. It describes the project components, including trainings, data analysis retreats, community dialogue nights, and action planning. The report discusses perceived impacts on participating students, schools, and communities, as well as factors contributing to the project's success and challenges faced. Key findings indicate that youth engagement in analyzing YRBS data was valuable, but sustaining student involvement and community participation were difficult. Recommendations are provided for improving future implementations of the YRBS project model in schools.
