Planet Youth was introduced in the West of Ireland in 2018 and following a successful ethical approval process in 2020 with the RCPI – Royal College of Physicians was introduced to Cavan and Monaghan in research collaboration with the RCSI – Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. This five-year pilot programme has been initiated and developed by an Implementation Committee, made up of representatives who have a remit for Children and Young People. Some 2,000 post Junior-Cycle students across every second level school and Youthreach Centre throughout Cavan and Monaghan were invited to participate in the Planet Youth Survey and the results contained within these county reports are the first of their kind in both counties.

Planet Youth Cavan Monaghan requested questions in the survey to gather useful information that furthers the overall aim of the project in improving the health and wellbeing of our young population. New areas of questioning included: • An ethnic identifier as per the Irish Census form • The addition of non-binary and prefer not to say with the gender question • Access to alcohol and drugs • Parent and sibling substance use • Additional adverse life experience questions • Barriers to accessing hobbies and sports • Drug-related intimidation • Racism • Sexual health and behaviour • COVID19 experience.
