Method and Data Collection
All five high schools across Timiskaming District took part in the Planet Youth Survey in November 2023. Participants were grade 10 and 11 students that attended school on the day of the survey. The total response rate for Timiskaming District was 83%.
The surveys were conducted during class time using an anonymous online questionnaire. Participation was voluntary, and students were free to answer the survey in whole or in part, skip any question at will, and change their minds about participation at any time. The survey will be repeated among grade 10 and 11 students again in 2025 and 2027.
