註釋This research sought to better understand the effect to positive health and wellbeing barriers on young people's engagement with education and is informed by : A synthesis of 72 relevant studies in which young people were participants, In-depth qualitative interviews with 78 young Victorians who had experienced significant barriers to educational engagement, and An online survey of 228 young people that explores the relevance of the themes elicited through the qualitative interviews with a more general sample. Based on the experiences of these young people, the report identifies approaches that can be taken in school and youth service settings to prevent disengagement and enable better involvement of all young people in learning and other pathways. For the young people who took part in this research leaving school was not a lifestyle choice, but rather a response to profound and complex challenges they face in their lives. Participants described personal challenges including physical or mental health difficulties and challenges relating to their families or home life, such as caring responsibilities, parental separation, family disruption and living in out of home care. These factors were found to have a direct impact on young people's ability to remain engaged in education. [Executive summary, ed].
