The National Study of Youth Mental Health in Ireland.
Developed by UCD School of Psychology and Jigsaw, My World Survey 2 is Ireland’s largest and most comprehensive study of young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
It captures the views of more than 19,000 young people from across Ireland to understand what can lead to an increased risk of mental health difficulties, and what can help to protect and support a young person’s mental health and well-being.
It builds on the findings of My World Survey 1, the first ever survey of its kind in Ireland, published in 2012.
