Collecting Data from Preteens
 If
you work with preteens – whether in community, school, health care,
or other settings – you probably have needed to ask them questions
about their feelings, behaviors, health habits, or other issues at some
point. But what's the best way to get good information from this age group?
The Preteen Alliance set out to answer that question by commissioning Education
Training Research (ETR) to review eight common methods used to collect data
from children ages 9 to 13, including surveys (computer-based, PDAs, paper
and pencil), diaries, interviews (phone, in person, focus groups), and observational
methods. The full report, including briefs on each data collection method
and a synopsis of existing local surveys, is available below.
