Supporting Student Health And ResiliencE
The SHARE project studies diverse teens’ habits, relationships, feelings, and personal strengths. We are a team of public health researchers and graduate students, from the Department of Health Sciences at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), who are passionate about improving the health behaviors and experiences of students. We are especially interested in how students cope with stress, who they turn to, and how they address the challenges they face. SHARE is a longitudinal study of students who attend high schools across several states in the U.S. Students who agree to participate in this study will be contacted by us via phone or email.
Why is the SHARE Project important?
Increasing the number of students who are connected to positive adults and teachers, reducing risky behaviors, and improving students' mental health are foundational public health objectives. Project SHARE is designed to inform programs that help youth succeed and thrive despite the many challenges of adolescence. To do this effectively, we need to hear from students directly.
Our plan is
This is a 4-year longitudinal study (Academic Years 2022-26) that includes high school students from multiple states. We visit schools twice a year and invite students to join the study. Students who agree to participate will hear from us via text message or email to complete a survey. On average, the survey takes 20 minutes to complete. We will also follow up with students to take future surveys.
