About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 6 to 12 who have their mental fitness needs highly satisfied by family.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades 6-12

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who have a total family score higher than a specified cutoff by the number of respondents who described their feelings and ideas for at least 3 of the following 6 questionnaire items: I feel free to express myself at home, I like to spend time with my parents, I feel I do things well at home, my parents like me and care about me, I feel my parents think that I am good at things and I feel like I have a choice about when and how to do my household chores. The response options for these 6 items are: really false for me, sort of false for me, sort of true for me and really true for me.

Notes
