Tackling Teenage Pregnancy Project Survey Information Sheet For Schools 3pConsulting has been engaged by the Northern Early Years Group to undertake research in the northern region so as to better understand why so many young women in Tasmania become young parents and to facilitate a more co-‐ordinated and strategic approach locally with the view to reducing the teen pregnancy rates in Tasmania. The Northern Early Years Group is comprised of representatives from government and non-‐government agencies working collaboratively to improve outcomes for children aged 0 to 5 years and their families. In 2010, the Northern Early Years Group developed a strategic plan and undertook extensive community consultation to identify priority projects and teen pregnancy has been identified as a priority issue for action by the Northern Early Years Group Despite programs and resources that have sought to address teenage pregnancy rates over the years the high levels persist in Tasmania, particularly in areas that already have a greater proportion the population that are already at risk. To facilitate research we will be surveying young people aged between 14 and 18 years across the northern region. The survey will have the aim of exploring young people’s: • Values and attitudes to relationships • Knowledge of contraception • Family and peer relationships attitudes/support • Self concept/esteem • Attitudes/experience to education We will be present the findings of the research at a Teenage Pregnancy Forum to be held in Launceston that will be open to young people, parents and all services involved with young people in the northern region. A written report detailing the findings will be completed and presented to the Northern Early Years Group. No identifying information will be sought. In addition to questions about the above areas the survey will ask respondents to provide their age, gender and suburb of residence. Completion of the survey will signify implied consent to participate. Participation in the survey is voluntary. Students will be asked in their home groups if they are interested in participating in the survey. Teachers will provide students with an information sheet about the project and time and access to log onto to the on-‐line survey. The survey will be completed while being supervised by a class teacher. Following data collection the survey will be deleted. The data and data analysis will be securely stored electronically on our server and destroyed after 5 years. 132
