About
Derived from the 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), this dataset captures health-risk behaviours among youths, specifically focusing on the prevalence of riding with a drinking driver. Collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the survey monitors adolescent health-risk behaviours to provide insights into public safety and youth welfare. The data includes demographic details and correlative factors such as smoking history and driver's license possession, offering a snapshot of decision-making patterns among high school students in the United States.
Columns
- ride.alc.driver: Indicator of whether the subject rode with a drinking driver in the past 30 days (1=Yes, 0=No).
- female: Gender of the respondent (1=Female, 0=Male).

Distribution
The dataset contains 13,387 observations across 7 columns. It is provided in CSV format (YouthRisk2007.csv) with a file size of approximately 281.43 kB. The data is fully populated with 100% valid entries and zero missing values across the primary variables. The statistical distribution shows that approximately 31% of respondents reported riding with a drinking driver, and 52% have smoked at least once.
