The Adolescent Health and Youth Development Hub is rooted in data-driven approaches to improving adolescent well-being. This page highlights the Hub’s foundational use of youth data and surveillance to inform policy, programming, and systems-level change in Cuyahoga County and beyond. 

Through tools such as the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), School Health Profiles, local evaluation projects, and the forthcoming Community Data Dashboard, the Hub monitors health trends, risk behaviors, and school and community environments that impact youth. These efforts provide critical insights that guide collaborative strategies and support the development of high-quality, evidence-based initiatives to promote adolescent health and development across the region.
