Youth 2000 and 2007
The first National Survey of the Health and Wellbeing of New Zealand Secondary School Students was conducted in 2001 by the Adolescent Health Research Group (AHRG) at the University of Auckland. The survey covered a wide range of health-related areas and the results went beyond simply producing a list of problems and instead offered valuable insights into the positive aspects of young people’s lives and the factors that contribute to keeping them well. Youth’07 was the second Youth2000 survey of the health and wellbeing of secondary school students in New Zealand. The aim was to update and extend the original survey conducted in 2001 by tracking trends and investigating new issues for young people. Many of the questions relating to mental and physical wellbeing, connectedness to school and family, and risk-taking behaviours remained the same. However, new questions on issues, such as rapidly changing technology with the use of the internet, mobile phones and text bullying, were also included.
