The YLT survey is an annual survey of 16-year olds living in Northern Ireland. The two main subject areas covered by the 2008 YLT survey were:

1. Attitudes to, and experience of contact with, minority ethnic groups (The questions were asked  as part of a mixed-methods project undertaken together with the National Children’s Bureau and funded by OFMDFM); and

Other questions covered the following areas:

• Community Relations;
