This indicator displays the willingness of adolescents to take risks in their personal behavior and personal health, that can have implications for their willingness to take risks in other aspects of their lives.
Limitations:
These data represent results from a survey. Be wary of interpreting data when there are large confidence intervals around the estimates. States with weighted data achieved at least a 60% overall response rate.
