Abstract

Analysis of responses of 16,262 high school students surveyed in the 1997 National School-Based Youth Risk Survey indicated that Hispanic male youths engaged more often in risky behaviors than White or Black male youths, whereas Hispanic and White female youths engaged less often in risky behaviors than Black female youths. The pattern of involvement in risky behavior was different for youths from the three ethnic groups.
