Description

For sample persons age 12 to 21, FIGHTLWHO reports with whom the individual fought, the last time he or she was in a fight. Individuals who have never been in a physical fight are coded as "Never been in physical fight."
FIGHTLWHO is part of the 1992 Youth Risk Behavior Supplement, sponsored by the Division of Adolescent and School Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the survey description, this supplement was part of the Youth Risk Surveillance System that was developed to monitor the major risk behaviors of American youth. Sample youth responded for themselves. They listened to taped interview questions and recorded their responses on paper, which were then returned to the interviewers in sealed envelopes.
