The Best of Times and the Worst of Times for Young People: A Tale of Two Surveys
Stanley, Peter
Teachers and Curriculum, v8 p25-30 2005
This paper compares information obtained from two surveys of school students. The national Youth2000 survey and the local Whatuora investigation contribute complementary quantitative data on the characteristics and behaviour of young people in New Zealand. As well, there are particular insights about students who are at risk and questions are raised relating to the delivery of human service interventions and regarding further research.
