Growing Up in New Zealand's 15 Year Catch-Up is here!

Your experience matters to Growing Up in New Zealand, and we are ready to hear what life is like for your young person/people now that they are a teenager!

You will each be asked questions about your young person’s health, mental wellbeing, engagement with school and family, work and life in New Zealand.

The information that you share will provide valuable insights for researchers and decision-makers to improve the lives of all young people in Aotearoa New Zealand.
