ConnectEd

The goal of this project is to identify relationships between student information (mental health, sports, clubs, connections, demographics, etc) and their sense of belonging in the school they attend in St. Helens as a mechanism for youth suicide prevention. For example, one conclusion can be that students who are on the wrestling team generally have lower feelings of belonging because they have fewer connections. The survey provides information/data on individual students and staff as well as information/data on their connections. We want to analyze both. The data used for this analysis will be two rounds of survey results and exports from a social systems app called Kumu. Students are asked to name their 5 closest friends and share how they know them, how much time they spend with them, what sports and clubs they participate in, and much more.
