The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991.
Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens.
As of this morning, it’s gone.

Kudos to @benmazer.bsky.social for calling a crank a crank--and for calling out Leana Wen and Emily Oster on their shameless and irresponsible RFK Jr. apologist pieces (and indirectly Ashish Jha who lauded Oster's piece).
