“This report includes data from the 1991–2019 cycles of CDC’s national YRBS, a cross-sectional, school-based survey conducted biennially since 1991. Each survey year, CDC collects data from a nationally representative sample of public and private school students in grades 9–12 in the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Additional information about YRBS sampling, data collection, response rates, and processing is available in the overview report for this supplement.”
NOTE: The CDC inflates the e-liquid vaping figures by including in the YRBS questionnaire [pg9] “Electronic vapor products include e-cigarettes, vapes, vape pens, e-cigars, ehookahs, hookah pens, and mods.” — i.e. products that are not even the same type or category as “ENDS” e-liquid vape products.
