At the hub, when youth are provided the sociodemographic questionnaire the question they receive related to education status is:
I am a student:
o No o Yes
If yes, I go to:
o Elementary school (grade 1-6) o Middle school (grade 7-8) o Junior high school (grade 9-10) o Senior high school (grade 11 –some grade 12) o College or other non-university certificate or diploma program o Registered apprenticeship or other trades certificate or diploma program o University, Undergraduate program o University, Master’s program o Doctoral Program o None of the above o Other
The highest level of education I have completed is:
o Elementary school (grade 1-6) o Middle school (grade 7-8) o Junior high school (grade 9-10) o Senior high school (grade 11 –some grade 12) o College or other non-university certificate or diploma o Registered apprenticeship or other trades certificate or diploma o University o Masters Program o Doctoral Program o None of the above o Other
Rationale for this question:
Youth who are not working, training or studying are more likely to have poorer mental and physical health, suicidal thoughts, to be isolated and have lower levels of life satisfaction.
Youth who are not working, training or studying identify multiple unmet support needs, most commonly help with employment and physical and mental health.
Responding to youth asking why they are being asked this question:
We collect this information because it allows us to better understand the support needs that may be required by a youth.
