A survey for young people on topics including health, wellbeing, school life and social media is set to open in October.
Statistics Jersey said the survey would be offered to students from Year 4 to Year 12 and would run from 5 to 16 October. It said the 2026 Children and Young People's Survey was voluntary, anonymous and could be completed online.
Officials said it would be the first time the survey would ask participants about social media apps and generative AI tools, including how often they use them.
Chief statistician Ian Cope said it provided a "vital insight" into the lives of children and young people on the island.
