AI Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how adolescents feel about completing health-related surveys on sensitive topics like bullying, alcohol use, and electronic image sharing, using data from three school-based studies with nearly 2,800 participants aged 12-17 years.
- - A small percentage of respondents (5% to 15%) reported feeling upset after completing the surveys, but only 1.4% had a completely negative experience.
- - Younger adolescents tended to see more benefits in participating, and while mental health symptoms increased the likelihood of being upset, this was mostly offset by their perceived benefits from taking part in the surveys.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study is to describe the self-reported experiences of adolescents in population-based samples when completing health-related surveys on topics with varying potential for evoking distress. Survey data were collected in three school-based studies of bullying behaviors (N = 1,771, 12-14 years), alcohol use (N = 823, 12, 15, and 17 years), and electronic image sharing (N = 274, 13 years). Between 5% and 15% of respondents reported being upset at survey completion, but at most 1.4% were entirely negative in their evaluation. Age was not associated with being upset, but younger adolescents were more likely to see benefit in participation. Although concurrent mental health symptoms increased the risk of being upset, this was mostly mitigated by perceived benefits from participation.
