Youth
Oregon's 2020 Student Health Survey (SHS) is a collaborative effort with the
Oregon Department of Education to improve the health and well-being of
all Oregon students to help them succeed. The SHS is a comprehensive,
school-based, anonymous and voluntary health survey of 6th, 8th and 11th
graders. It is a key part of statewide efforts to help local schools
and communities ensure that all Oregon youth are healthy and successful
learners.
Student Health Survey
Adults
The Adult Behavior Risk Factor and Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) is the largest, continuously conducted, telephone health survey in the world. It enables the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state health departments, and other health agencies to monitor modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and other leading causes of death. The survey is an on-going data collection program designed to measure behavioral risk factors in the adult population 18 years of age or over.
