The Youth19 Rangatahi Smart Survey (Youth19) is the latest in the Youth2000 health and wellbeing survey series carried out by the Adolescent Health Research Group. Youth '19 was conducted in 2019 in the Auckland, Northland & Waikato regions by researchers from The University of Auckland, Victoria University of Wellington, University of Otago & Auckland University of Technology.
We will be sharing our initial findings and national estimates highlighting how Aotearoa/New Zealand secondary school students are doing at home, at school, in communities, and in areas such as mental heath and wellbeing. The Youth2000 series now includes over 36000 adolescents from 2001, 2007, 2012 and 2019. Because the survey is large we are able to consider students in different ethnic and geographic communities. On August 13 we will be launching initial findings and discussing the implications for supporting young people.
