Youth Risk Survey 2015-Bedford and New Hampshire

Appendix: Time Trends, By Gender, and By Grade
Greater Manchester Public Health Region
How to Read the Tables in this Report
Data in this example are only an example and not from Bedford High School.
1. Page title lets you know which indicator’s data is being presented on the page.
2. The numbers and percentages in the graphs and tables match. All the data used to produce the graphics are included in
the table.
3. The question, as asked on the 2015 YRBS is provided as well as some information on how the question and answers may
have changed over time. If time trends aren’t complete the reason may be because the question changed too much to
allow for accurate comparisons.
4. The table contains the percentages in the other graphs and also provides the estimated number of students engaged in
the risk behavior.
State and Regional Estimates
State and Regional estimates are calculated from a random sample developed using scientific survey methods. These methods
ensure the respondents are representative of students in the region in the State. These estimates account for student,
classroom, school, and regional factors. The random sample is not designed to provide school level estimates. School Level Estimates
The survey response rate at Bedford High School was 88% where 1,289 of 1,468 students took the survey. School level
estimates are not based on a scientifically designed survey method. However, because participation was relatively high
the school estimates may still be representative of the entire school population. Results could be less representative if if specific
classrooms or classroom types were not included in the survey. We have attempted to estimate how many students in the
school actually fall within each risk category. We did this by scaling up the students responding in the survey using school
enrollment data.
