This report presents the findings of a nationally representative study whose purpose was to
explore the experiences, attitudes, and behaviours of New Zealand teens about digital
communications including harm and/or distress. It was conducted by Netsafe in partnership
with the Ministry for Women (the Ministry).
While there is growing interest in examining young people’s experiences and use of digital
technologies, including the challenges and risks teens face, evidence based on
representative data in the New Zealand context has been unavailable.
The study focuses on the prevalence of New Zealand teens' experiences with a range of
unwanted digital communications1 in the previous year and the impact these experiences had
on them, both emotionally and in carrying out everyday life activities. It also describes teens’
responses, the effectiveness of their coping actions, and to whom they would turn for help in
the future. (From the Executive summary). Record #5877
