About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 6 to 12 who reported that their friends stand by them during difficult times.

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 answered "yes" by the number of respondents who answered "no, sometimes or yes" to the question: My friends stand by me during difficult times (for example if I am sick or have done something wrong)

Notes

Due to an update of the resilience scale, this indicator has replaced SH_RES08_1 starting with the 2024-2025 edition of the questionnaire.

Due to a low school participation rate in some areas of the province for the 2025-2026 edition of this survey, survey results are not available for District scolaire francophone Nord-Ouest (school district), Madawaska and North-West Area (health zone), Kedgwick, Saint-Quentin and Grimmer (community), and Edmundston, Rivière-Verte, Lac Baker Area (community).
