This report provides the results of a survey conducted by the Southwest Research Team whose goal was to provide information concerning the issues and concerns of young people in Southwest Portland. The study was part of an attempt to set a foundation for an on-going process of involving Southwest Portland youth in the planning activities of the Southwest Youth Service Center. The information collected by the survey was to be used by the youth to formulate policy, develop programs, and evaluate programs during the year. The survey focused on the following areas: school, police-youth relations, attitudes toward the Southwest Youth Service Center, health, employment, housing and leisure activities. The first three areas listed were designated as priority. Respondents came from four sources: high school youth, youth enrolled in the Portland Job Corps Center, youth working at the Jewish Community Center, and friends of the research team itself. Thirty-five females and twenty-six males participated. Several of the goals of the project were accomplished. It was demonstrated that a group of youth could be brought together, work as a group, and deal in a constructive way with some very complex social problems. The attempt to blend education, training, and work into the organization of the research project proved to be successful. (Author/AM)
