"The 2007 national data were collected from 14,041 students who self-reported their behavior and included only blacks, whites and Hispanics because other populations are too few for a representative sample, the CDC said."The only "red flag" in the CDC's findings concerned Hispanic teens. Though risky behavior declined among the members of this group, Hispanic teens are still at higher risk than their Caucasian or African-American counterparts. Source: USA Today.
