Today's hearing with 🧠🪱 was a true dumpster fire, so we could use a good news palate cleanser. And we have one for you!

Trump admin just lost another lawsuit & now must restore 100+ federal websites it erased for “DEI"
This includes some CDC ones, too! 🥳🎉

🚨🚨🚨CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillane System (YRBSS) was taken offline

Ignoring the data from the 2021 YRBSS, because COVID lockdowns fucked with the data really robustly, the 2019 YRBSS found that 1.7% of all teens were trans, which means a solid doubling of the trans population in just four years.

ICPSR is making removed data available again. They're looking for BRFSS, ATUS, and YRBSS users to help with metadata efforts.

First, the YRBSS is a REALLY great tool, and it's provided us phenomenal data since the early 1990's. Most of the health and socialinterventions you know about that've done things like reduce teen pregnancy and decrease drug use? They come directly from the findings of the YRBSS.

I have been trying to be as even as possible about this admin but looking up the YRBSS this morning and just getting a blank page was a real gut punch

The pages remind me of the language that was slapped on top of the federal web pages that Judge Bates forced the admin to put back on line (random example included below). I’d say it’s extremely likely they’re hoping to do a swap with no one noticing. 😒🫤

This will include BRFSS and YRBSS data, which have SOGI modules.
I’ll emphasize that this is a rumor.

But I’ve heard from people I trust that CDC has been ordered to scrub their datasets of LGBTQIA identifiers. This is supposed to start tomorrow.

If you rely on gov datasets that have anything to do with this anti-woke witch hunt, I would download a copy ASAP.

hmmm at my employer there are multiple studies using YRBSS data

Important! They’re ISO knowledgeable volunteers to help archive YRBS, ATUS, and YRBSS
DataLumos is doing invaluable work to preserve government data resources. What can you do? The team is looking for volunteers to assist with metadata and donations to support the costs of data rescue. Details at isr.umich.edu/giving/suppo...

The rumor about the impending takedown of all of the CDC's publicly available data sets that contain measures of gender identity allowed people to download and preserve that data in advance. Because of that effort data like YRBSS will remain available in new locations despite being taken down today.

I cite YRBSS data in my research and in presentations. I am angry.
The CDC has removed data on sexual orientation, gender identity, and health disparities from their website.

Pages removed include:
- Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System
- Social Vulnerability Index
- Efforts to Address Racism as a Fundamental Driver of Health Disparities

It continues: "The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology due to the harms and divisiveness it causes. This page does not reflect reality…" The reference to a court prevented attempt to censor science and the bombastic language seem like they would be worth mentioning. www.cdc.gov/yrbs/

Do we know if anyone stored the YRBSS data? I use it to keep up with youth mental health trends.

The webpages for YRBSS and BRFSS are just…gone #episky 🛟

I’ve been working on a project using YRBSS data, so I’ve been periodically checking the YRBSS page. To see this statement posted on the CDC website is pretty devastating.
