Purpose:
This indicator is a marker for other problem behaviors and is associated with serious injury-related health outcomes.
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. With weighted data, it is possible to say, for example, “X% of high school students in the state had been in a physical fight 1 or more times during the 12 months before the survey.” Refer to the “Quality” indicator to determine which states’ data are weighted.
