Our three main research areas
- Getting more young people doing positive activities
- Giving some groups of young people targetted support, for example teenage parents
- Boosting young people's health, safety and wellbeing by cutting down how much alcohol
they drink.
Some key messages from our research
Our research suggests getting young people doing positive activities helps develop
self-esteem and confidence. This improves their relationships with peers and with
adults, especially teachers and parents. Ideally, lots of activities should be offered
to young people. And it seems the more positive activities they do the better the
results.
