New Insights into the World of Today’s girls
While research has extensively examined the health trends, economic status, risk-behaviors and safety of teens, there is little data that delves deeper into girls’ experiences and provides the opportunity for them to share their thoughts and opinions on issues currently impacting their lives.
At ROX we want to better understand the connections to successful outcomes for girls and their perceptions of their opportunities for their futures. That’s why we conduct The Girls’ Index™ — the first-ever, large-scale national survey designed to develop a deeper understanding of the thoughts, experiences, behaviors and attitudes of teen girls throughout the U.S.
As the only girl-serving organization in the country conducting original research with nationally representative samples of adolescent girls, the ROX Institute for Research & Training explores what girls want us to know about what it’s like being a girl today. What do they want and need from the adults in their lives? What challenges do girls face in school and in relationships, and how can adults more effectively support girls’ dreams and aspirations?
Together we are learning more about girls across the U.S.
2023 Impact Reports
Through additional analyses and reporting on The Girls’ Index™ 2023, ROX has contributed to the understanding of the world of girls through the release of additional Girls’ Index™ Impact Reports. These examinations into the complex relationships among key variables of girls’ lives provide deeper knowledge about the issues impacting girls and serve as a catalyst for the needed support, resources, policy changes, and encouragement that girls need to be successful.
