We are gearing up for the next BC Adolescent Health Survey, which will be in schools in early 2028. We are looking forward to connecting with education partners, experts in youth health, and young people across the province to learn what they think are the emerging and urgent youth health issues that should be included on the 2028 survey.
We have also introduced a new way for you to share insights on survey questions and topics—fill out our suggestion form below!

Throughout our work, McCreary seeks to meaningfully engage young people in the research and decisions which affect them. We do this through interactive workshops, supporting youth advisory and research groups, and other community engagement projects. Below are resources developed with and by young people to engage with findings from the 2023 BC AHS.
McCreary has developed a workshop curriculum for teachers, nurses, youth workers, and other adult allies to engage youth in the 2023 BC AHS findings.
Led by the Youth Advisory & Action Council, the Youth Action Grant program provides up to $750 for projects led by BC youth aged 12–19 that address BC AHS findings.
