The main aim of the YPBAS is to gain an insight into, and increase understanding of, the behaviours and lifestyles of adolescents. It also aims to influence various government policies and practices relating to young people and to facilitate access to research findings and expertise. <br /> <br /> YPBAS was introduced in 2000 as an omnibus survey of post-primary school children which replaced a number of previous surveys. It is a triennial study, conducted once every three years. Repeating this survey on a regular basis will allow government to continue to identify and monitor any significant changes, and if necessary, new policies and strategies will be developed and implemented as a result. Therefore to ensure comparability, the same methodology has been applied over the all rounds to date and the questionnaires were of a similar format.<br /><br />Further information is available on the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) <a href="https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/find-your-survey/young-persons-behaviour-attitudes-survey" target="_blank">Young Persons' Behaviour and Attitudes Survey</a> webpages.<br /><br /></p><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>The main topics covered in most years of the YPBAS include:<ul><li>demographics</li><li>school</li><li>travelling to school</li><li>nutrition and sports</li><li>smoking</li><li>alcohol, solvents and drugs</li><li>personal safety</li><li>sexual experience and relationships</li><li>health</li><li>education</li></ul>To accommodate demand for new topics on the 2007 YPBAS survey, two versions of the questionnaire were used. Schools were randomly assigned one version of the questionnaire. Whilst some of the questions were amended, the overall format was similar to that used in 2003. However, a number of topics were added into the questionnaires, including libraries, museums, arts, money, modern technology and knife culture. Several modules were only asked of those in school years 11 and 12, on subject choices, further education, starting a business, and attitudes towards domestic violence.<br> HEALTHEXERCISE (PHYSICAL ACTIVITY)GENDERAGESCHOOL CLASSESSCHOOL-LEAVINGSCHOOLSTEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIPLEARNINGACADEMIC ABILITYATTITUDESSOCIAL ATTITUDESTRUANCYPARENT PARTICIPATIONSPORTSMOKINGADDICTIONALCOHOL USEALCOHOLIC DRINKSUNDERAGE DRINKINGDRINKING BEHAVIOURSOLVENT ABUSEDRUG ABUSEDRUG USEPARTNERSHIPS (PERSONAL)UNDERAGE SEXSEXUAL BEHAVIOURBIRTH CONTROLEMOTIONAL STATESENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESRECYCLINGSCHOOLCHILDRENACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTANXIETYFAMILIESFAMILY MEMBERSFRIENDSHIPSELF-ESTEEMFOOD AND NUTRITIONMEALSSCHOOL MEALSHEALTH FOODSVENDING MACHINESSLIMMING DIETSPERSONAL IDENTITYSPORTS CLUBSGLOBAL WARMINGEXPOSURE TO NOISEENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENERGY EFFICIENCYCOMMUTINGPOLICINGPOLICE-STUDENT RELATIONSHIPSTUDENT ATTITUDEYOUNG ADULTSYOUTHBULLYINGCOMMUNITIESFEAR OF CRIMEMENSTRUATIONLEISURE TIMELEISURE TIME ACTIVITIESTELEVISION VIEWINGREADING (ACTIVITY)DIGITAL GAMESPHYSICAL ACTIVITIESMUSICAL INSTRUMENTSLIBRARY USERSSPORT SPECTATORSHIPPERFORMING ARTSCLUBSMUSEUMSLIBRARIESCOMPUTERSINTERNET ACCESSANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOURYOUTH CRIMEAIR POLLUTIONBUSINESS FORMATIONARTSSOFT DRINKSCITIZENSHIPCONFECTIONERYPROTESTANTISMCATHOLICISMHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSCARSDOMESTIC VIOLENCECRIME VICTIMSDISEASESSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESCYCLINGCANNABISAMPHETAMINESECSTASY (DRUG)LSD (DRUG)TRANQUILLIZERSHEROINMAGIC MUSHROOMSCOCAINEANABOLIC STEROIDSFIELDS OF STUDYFOODWEAPONSASSAULTFURTHER EDUCATIONHARASSMENTHOUSEHOLDSCOMMERCIAL INNOVATIONSUBSTANCE USENATURAL RESOURCESREFUSEORGANIZATIONSRACIAL DISCRIMINATIONRELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATIONPARAMILITARY GROUPSPLACE OF BIRTHPUBLIC TRANSPORTQUALIFICATIONSRELIGIOUS INSTRUCTIONROAD ACCIDENTSROAD SAFETYCHILDREN'S RIGHTSINDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SUPPORTPAINTECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATIONWALKINGWATER POLLUTIONWATER RESOURCESSTUDENT TRANSPORTATION en 2009-03-24T00:00:00Z Dataset <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/re-using-public-sector-information/uk-government-licensing-framework/crown-copyright/" target="_blank">© Crown copyright</a>.
