unintentional and intentional injury OKLAHOMA YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEY (YRBS) - 2011 RESULTS What is the problem? The 2011 Oklahoma Youth Risk Behavior Survey indicates that among high school students: Behaviors that Contribute to Unintentional Injury 93% never or rarely wore a bicycle helmet.1 8% never or rarely wore a seat belt when riding in a car driven by someone else. 7% drove a car or other vehicle one or more times during the 30 days before the survey when they had been drinking alcohol. Suicide 14% seriously considered attempting suicide during the 12 months before the survey. 6% actually attempted suicide one or more times during the 12 months before the survey. 1% made a suicide attempt during the 12 months before the survey that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or overdose that had to be treated by a doctor or nurse. What are the solutions? Provide education on injury prevention and the importance of wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle, motorcycle, or ATV.2 Support comprehensive graduated drivers licensing (GDL) programs and educate parents on the state’s GDL laws. Learn to identify early warning signs of youth at risk for suicide. Restrict access to lethal means and methods of self-harm for people at risk for suicide. Build partnerships and networks between health and mental health providers. Actively screen for suicide risk and mental health problems, including in schools and healthcare.
