Young Persons’ Behaviour & Attitudes Survey

A consortium of government departments commission a study on the behaviour and attitudes of young people in post-primary education in Northern Ireland. The Young Persons’ Behaviour and Attitudes Survey (YPBAS) is a school-based survey conducted among 11-16 year-olds.

The latest statistics from the 2022 survey can be found at:  https://www.nisra.gov.uk/publications/young-persons-behaviour-and-attitude-survey-2022.

YPBAS 2016 Revision Note: The Department of Health have identified a concern that respondents may have misinterpreted the term sunbed and as such the information presented on the proportion who had used a sunbed is likely to be an over-estimate.
