Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is a well-established surveillance tool designed to document the health risk behaviors of youth. However, there is limited insight into the use of the survey outside of the United States. The aim of this scoping review was to assess the global presence and utilization of the YRBS.
METHODS: A structured electronic search of all publication years (through February 2020) was conducted to identify articles in PubMed and EBSCOhost. The search identified 128 articles that used the YRBS beyond the United States.
RESULTS: More than one-third of all countries, territories, and dependencies were represented in the articles, with the greatest use among upper-middle and high-income economies and those in the East Asia and Pacific geographic region. Priority health-risk behaviors identified were alcohol and other drug use (51%), tobacco use (48%), and unintentional and intentional injuries (44%). The articles predominantly suggested that the survey data be used to influence programs, policies, and practices (57%).
CONCLUSIONS: The development and proliferation of surveillance systems has allowed for important contributions to public health. Extensive use of the YRBS is notable; however, greater efforts are needed to support more systematic and collaborative approaches for evaluating youth behaviors around the world.

摘要：
目的：青年危险行为调查（YRBS）是一种完善的监测工具，旨在记录青年的健康危险行为。然而,对美国以外的调查使用的洞察力有限。本次范围审查的目的是评估YRBS的全球存在和利用情况。
方法：对所有出版年份（至2020年2月）进行了结构化电子搜索，以识别PubMed和EBSCOhost中的文章。搜索确定了128篇在美国以外使用YRBS的文章。
结果：超过三分之一的国家，属地,和依赖关系在文章中表示，在中高收入经济体以及东亚和太平洋地区使用最多。确定的优先健康危险行为是酒精和其他药物使用（51％），烟草使用(48%)，以及意外和故意伤害(44%)。文章主要建议使用调查数据来影响项目，政策,和实践(57%)。
结论：监测系统的发展和普及为公共卫生做出了重要贡献。YRBS的广泛使用是值得注意的；然而，需要做出更大的努力来支持更系统和协作的方法来评估世界各地的青年行为。
