Abstract	An anonymous survey of health and sexual behavior statistics from adolescents in North Dakota is presented in this document. Seventeen thousand students from North Dakota schools in grades 9-12 participated in the survey. Survey questions were taken from the following categories: (1) safety; (2) suicide; (3) tobacco, alcohol and other drugs; (4) sexual behavior; (5) nutrition; (6) dental health; and (7) physical fitness. Major findings were: (1) North Dakota students are more likely to drink alcohol heavily and use smokeless tobacco excessively and are less likely to take safety precautions; (2) North Dakota students are less likely to have sexual intercourse, more likely to use condoms and less likely to become involved in physical fights; and (3) North Dakota Students are more likely to participate in school physical fitness activities. A copy of the survey as well as tables indicating how North Dakota Student responses compared to the national average are included in the document. (SR)
