SURVEY
Our school is participating in the 2021-22 COMPASS survey, funded by Health Canada. Students from grades 9-12, will be asked to complete a 30-minute questionnaire about healthy eating, physical activity, substance use, academic achievement, and mental health. While this survey is usually conducted in class, due to the pandemic, it is being conducted online this year. It also includes some questions about how youth are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey is confidential, and no names are written on the surveys. The surveys will be stored at the University of Waterloo and only research staff will have access to the completed surveys. There are no known or anticipated risks to participation in this survey. The survey responses will help researchers gather details about youth health, and this information will bring awareness to youth health issues within our school and will be shared with our school to help new initiatives and improve school programs, activities, policies and practices related to health. Our student’s participation in this survey is very important.
Thank you!
