The Youth Health Equity Collaborative (YHEC) brings Nashville-focused stakeholders together to review and respond to local needs identified through the bi-annual Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). YHEC serves to build and sustain relationships and communication between stakeholders across the community while also serving as the School Health Advisory Council for the MNPS 1807 CDC grant.
