The Decision Support System for Youth Well-Being (DSS-YWB) provides an integrated set of tools to enable individuals and/or groups to spend limited resources in an accountable, responsible, and sustainable fashion. This system is intended to act as a 'smart notebook' and 'group memory' for making, recording, and tracking decisions about school-based interventions intended to influence the prevalence of adolescent healthy and harmful behaviors.

The DSS-YWB can be used to assess the well being of a group of adolescents for whom decision makers are responsible, choose behaviors to influence, compare and select programs relevant to the behaviors of interest, and produce/maintain a plan that documents the consequences of these decisions across time. The system brings together all of the necessary tools to support these decisions in a feedback loop.

Components of the feedback loop, accessed by the tabs at the top of the page, give users the ability to:
Explore measures of the prevalence of healthy and harmful behaviors for a chosen group.
Choose behaviors to change and set targets for the degree of change desired.
Compare and choose programs relevant to the chosen behaviors, based on agency ratings and the real world experiences of actual users.
Assess the effect of the programs on the behaviors with respect to the targets and make changes if required.
Record and report the plans and outcomes to third parties.
