This paper uses data from Youth19 and previous Youth2000 surveys to explore prevalence and trends of key mental health and well-being indicators. We found high mental health needs in 2019 and sharp increases between 2012 and 2019, particularly among female, Māori, Pacific and Asian students and those living in socioeconomically deprived neighbourhoods. Ethnic and socioeconomic disparities have widened.
