Picture
One of the more comprehensive sources of data on youth behavior is the YRBS - a survey of "risk" behavior administered in each state under the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control - with questions regarding bullying, sexual behavior, food choices, substance use, sleep, physical activity, and more. The YRBS is administered in selected public schools on odd years. In 2019, the YRBS was combined with the Youth Tobacco Survey, which allowed for more participation. 2019 is also the first year that middle school students were included in the state-wide surveying. 

Ohio statistics are available via the Ohio Department of Health website: https://odh.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/odh/know-our-programs/Youth-Risk-Behavior-Survey/Youth-Risk-Behavior-Survey
