School Leavers Study

About School Leavers Study

From 2002-2012 , this survey gathered information from young people about their transition from adolescence to adult life. As it spanned a long time period, we explored how important aspects of young peoples lives changed over time and are related to their overall health and well-being.

We are very grateful for the contributions of over 2000 participants. The information we have collected will be used by policy makers and individuals to plan interventions to improve outcomes for young people in Australia. In future, we plan to offer you direct access to our findings by providing summaries of the questionnaire results online.
Once again, we would sincerely like to thank you for your contribution and commitment to the project.
