Breakfast Report: Health Risk Behaviors of Montana High School Students Who Did Not Eat Breakfast. 2017 Montana Youth Risk Behavior Survey
Montana Office of Public Instruction
The Montana Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is administered by the Montana Office of Public Instruction every two years to students in grades 7 through 12. The purpose of the survey is to help monitor the prevalence of behaviors that not only influence youth health, but also put youth at risk for the most significant health and social problems that can occur during adolescence. While all schools in Montana can participate in the survey, approximately 50 high schools are randomly selected to be included to provide the Montana statewide data for use in other national YRBS reports. Data used in this report are based on a random sample survey of Montana high school students. The weighted data results can be used to make inferences about the priority health-risk behaviors of all high school students in grades 9 through 12 in all schools in Montana. For the purpose of this report, youth classified as not eating breakfast are those who answered "0 days" to the question, 'During the past 7 days, on how many days did you eat breakfast?' Forty-four separate risk behaviors were queried for association with eating breakfast. These findings are presented in bullet, table, and graph forms. Results are broken down by gender, grade level, and white or Native American race.
