Abstract	The Alternative High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey (ALT-YRBS) is one component of the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), which monitors six categories of health risk behaviors among youth and young adults. The 1998 ALT-YRBS measured priority health risk behaviors among students at alternative high schools. It used a three-stage cluster sample design to produce a nationally representative sample of students in grades 9-12 who attended alternative high schools. Results indicated that many alternative high school students engaged in behaviors that increased their likelihood of death from motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries, homicide, and suicide. Comparing ALT-YRBS results with 1997 national YRBSS results demonstrates that the prevalence of most risk behaviors is higher among students attending alternative high schools than among students attending regular high schools. Some risk behaviors are more common among certain sex and racial/ethnic subgroups of students. (Contains 18 references.) (SM)
