Remote Teen Health
Research Study

Teenagers often face challenges related to sleep, stress, substance use, and relationships, which can affect their health and decision-making. Researchers know these behaviors are connected to overall well-being, but they still need a better understanding of how these health habits develop among high school students over time. This study will examine teens’ sleep, alcohol and drug use, and sexual behaviors to help researchers design programs that support healthier choices and improve teen health outcomes.
