2025-2026 Provincial COMPASS Report: Survey results from participating grades 7 to 12 students at 34 schools across Prince Edward Island
COMPASS is a comprehensive, long-term study that gathers information from Canadian students and the schools they attend to better understand youth health and well-being. The survey provides valuable insights into areas such as sleep, physical activity, mental health, substance use, and other health-related behaviours, helping schools, communities, organizations, and governments make informed decisions to support student well-being.
How are PEI’s youth doing when it comes to sleep, physical activity, mental health, and more?
PEI joined the COMPASS study in 2022 through a small pilot project and has participated annually ever since. Continued participation allows the province to monitor trends in youth health over time and compare local results with those from other participating provinces.
In 2025-26, nearly 8,000 students in Grades 7 to 12 from 33 PEI schools took part in the survey, making it one of the province’s most comprehensive sources of student health data.
