 The
National Youth Survey began in 1976. At that time 1,725 adolescents between
the ages of 11 and 17 years old as well as one of their parents were interviewed.
Participants were chosen by a scientific method designed to select individuals
representative of the national population. 28 years later this study is
ongoing and has been commended by policymakers, scholars and researchers
as one of the most influential studies of the present time. Now called
the National Youth Survey - Family Study (participants who were once 11-17
are now 39-45) this study has followed these individuals throughout time
to look at their changing attitudes, beliefs and behaviors about topics
such as career goals, involvement with community and family, attitudes
about violence, drugs, and social values.
