Introduction

You have received this survey because you were a participant in an Operation Newstart program at some time in the past. It is important to Operation Newstart, and to the young people like you who participate in future programs, that we learn as much as possible about the effects that Operation Newstart may have on participants' lives.

The survey should take you about 15 minutes to complete. You will not be identified and the information you provide will be used for research and to provide evidence as to the impact Operation Newstart has on re-engaging young people in education, improving family relationships and reducing the risk of young people; coming in contact with the criminal justice system, being a victim or involvement in reckless risk taking behaviour, e.g. getting into a car with a drunk or drug effected driver. To maintain privacy please do not use the actual name of any young person involved when providing your response to any of the open ended questions.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
