What is it about?

This Factsheet presents findings regarding New Zealand teens’ use, and attitudes towards, digital technologies and online safety. These findings are part of a larger quantitative study about experiences of risks and harm online. Findings are based on representative data collected through an online survey. The study was led by Netsafe in partnership with the Ministry for Women.

Why is it important?

The factsheet provides government agencies and researchers with evidence-based insights that can inform policy development and support in favour of New Zealand’s young people.

Perspectives

While the evidence presented in this factsheet is a step forward in describing New Zealand teens’ interactions with their digital environment, we recommend further and contextual research to understand the online behaviour and experiences of specific groups within New Zealand’s young population.
