In November 2014, Chicago Alderman Marty Quinn proposed an ordinance that might ban sex offenders from using libraries in the summer time. The question measuring the prevalence of getting driven a automotive or other vehicle when using marijuana was used for the first time in the 2017 national YRBS. The prevalence of having been threatened or injured with a weapon on college property was greater among black (7.8%) than white (5.0%) and Hispanic (6.1%) students and higher among black male (10.0%) and Hispanic male (8.3%) than white male (6.5%) college students. Nationwide, 3.8% of scholars had carried a weapon (e.g., a gun, knife, or membership) on school property on at the very least 1 day throughout the 30 days before the survey (Supplementary Table 18). The prevalence of getting carried a weapon on college property was larger among male (5.6%) than feminine (1.9%) college students; increased amongst white male (5.9%), black male (5.4%), and Hispanic male (4.5%) than white female (1.7%), black female (1.7%), and Hispanic female (2.5%) students, respectively; and higher amongst 9th-grade male (3.6%), 10th-grade male (4.8%), eleventh-grade male (7.1%), and 12th-grade male (7.0%) than ninth-grade feminine (1.3%), 10th-grade feminine (1.4%), eleventh-grade feminine (3.0%), and twelfth-grade feminine (1.5%) students, respectively.
Nationwide, 15.7% of students had carried a weapon (e.g., gun, knife, or membership) on a minimum of 1 day through the 30 days earlier than the survey (Supplementary Table 16). The prevalence of getting carried a weapon was larger amongst male (24.2%) than female (7.4%) students; higher amongst white male (29.0%), black male (15.3%), and Hispanic male (18.4%) than white feminine (8.0%), black female (6.1%), and Hispanic female (6.9%) students, respectively; and better amongst ninth-grade male (23.2%), tenth-grade male (24.5%), 11th-grade male (25.3%), and 12th-grade male (23.2%) than 9th-grade feminine (7.6%), tenth-grade female (6.3%), 11th-grade female (8.6%), and 12th-grade feminine (6.6%) students, respectively. Nationwide, amongst college students who had no sexual contact, 87.6% identified as heterosexual; 7.7% recognized as gay, lesbian, or bisexual; and 4.7% have been not sure of their sexual id (Supplementary Table 6). Across 26 states, among college students who had no sexual contact, 84.2%-91.7% (median: 88.0%) identified as heterosexual; 5.0%-10.1% (median: 7.3%) identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual; and 3.0%-8.0% (median: 4.6%) had been unsure of their sexual identification. Analyses based mostly on the query ascertaining sexual identity indicated that nationwide, 5.8% of heterosexual students; 6.1% of gay, lesbian, and bisexual college students; and 7.9% of undecided students hardly ever or never wore a seat belt when riding in a automotive driven by another person (Supplementary Table 7). Among male students, the prevalence of not often or never wearing a seat belt was greater amongst not sure (11.6%) than heterosexual (6.4%) college students.
Trend analyses indicated that throughout 1991-2017, a significant linear decrease (25.9%-5.9%) occurred in the general prevalence of hardly ever or never sporting a seat belt. The prevalence of present electronic vapor product use was larger among 10th-grade (11.4%), eleventh-grade (14.1%), and 12th-grade (18.3%) than 9th-grade (9.5%) college students; higher amongst twelfth-grade (18.3%) than tenth-grade (11.4%) and 11th-grade (14.1%) students; higher amongst 12th-grade female (14.1%) than ninth-grade female (7.8%) and 10th-grade feminine (9.5%) college students; larger among 12th-grade male (22.7%) than ninth-grade male (11.3%), tenth-grade male (13.4%), and eleventh-grade male (17.0%) students; and higher amongst eleventh-grade male (17.0%) than ninth-grade male (11.3%) college students. The prevalence also was larger among heterosexual male (14.1%) than heterosexual female (10.0%) students. The prevalence additionally was larger amongst heterosexual male (6.9%) than heterosexual female (3.6%) college students, greater amongst gay and bisexual male (14.6%) than lesbian and bisexual female (7.4%) students, and better amongst undecided male (17.2%) than undecided female (5.3%) college students.
Among female students, the prevalence was higher amongst lesbian and bisexual (20.2%) than heterosexual (10.0%) students. Among female students, the prevalence was increased among lesbian and bisexual (27.6%) than heterosexual (15.5%) and undecided (14.8%) college students. The prevalence of getting driven a automobile or other vehicle when they’d been drinking alcohol was greater among Hispanic (7.0%) than white (5.0%) and black (4.1%) college students, increased amongst Hispanic feminine (5.4%) than white feminine (3.8%) college students, and better among white male (6.3%) and Hispanic male (8.5%) than black male (4.1%) college students. The prevalence of having ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol was increased among Hispanic (20.7%) than white (15.0%) and black (17.0%) college students, greater among Hispanic female (21.9%) than white female (15.7%) college students, and better amongst Hispanic male (19.5%) than white male (14.2%) and black male (14.8%) students. The prevalence of having been in a physical fight was larger among black (33.2%) and Hispanic (25.7%) than white (20.8%) students, higher amongst black (33.2%) than Hispanic (25.7%) students, larger amongst black feminine (29.1%) and Hispanic female (21.1%) than white feminine (13.5%) students, greater among black female (29.1%) than Hispanic feminine (21.1%) students, and better amongst black male (37.2%) than white male (28.7%) college students.
