| NOTE: For each type of activity, students were asked to respond to the following question: "How much do you think people risk harming themselves (physically or in other ways), if they [engage in the activity]?" Only students who responded "great risk" (the highest risk level specified by the questionnaire) were reported in this table. Standard errors were calculated from formulas to perform trend analysis over an interval greater than 1 year (for example, a comparison between 1995 and 2000). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
