#devtools::install_github("hadley/yrbss")The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) monitors six types of health-risk behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth and adults. This dataset is a subset of the 2013 national data for 8,351 teenage youth, ages 12-18 with complete data for 13 selected variables. A fuller version of this dataset was extracted from the YRBSS website by Hadley Wickam and posted on GitHub, then cleaned for further analysis.
