This poll was conducted between March 24-April 5, 2023 among a national sample of 1,000 Teens. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of Teens based on gender, age, race, and region. Among the key findings are: (1) Over 40 percent of teens have heard either a lot or some about ChatGPT, while just under 1 in 3 have heard nothing at all about the program; (2) About half of teens express positivity when it comes to their current feelings; (3) Generally, teens feel more supported when it comes to their future and academics than when it comes to mental health; (4) Nearly one in four teens either say they have no specific post-high school plans or do not know what they will do; and (5) One-third of teens have changed schools in the last three years. This report highlights findings pertaining to: (1) Teen Perspectives; (2) Schooling Experiences; (3) Support for Teens; and (4) Survey Profile and Demographics.
