Research and Education

What we know about young people and our community.

The YEP Project conducts its own research into the needs of young people and communities within Western Australia. Every year we survey young people and members of the youth sector about what topics they feel are most relevant to them and their sexual health, their perceptions and opinions about sexual health, and mediums of communication for education. This research guides our content creation, development and workshop delivery. By doing this we can ensure we are meeting the needs of young people and are ever evolving. The results of our surveys and other research are collected here, for the benefit of youth workers or fellow young people who may be interested in what the community has to say.
