This Factsheet presents findings regarding New Zealand teens’ use, and attitudes towards, digital technologies and online safety. These findings are part of a larger quantitative study about experiences of risks and harm online.
Data for this study was collected through a nationally representative survey conducted in the third term of the 2017 school year. A total of 1,001 young New Zealanders, aged between 14 and 17, responded to the 15minute questionnaire. Demographic information included age, gender, ethnicity, disability, and the region they lived in.
The factsheet provides government agencies with evidence-based insights that can inform policy development and support in favour of New Zealand’s young people.
