Young Life and Times (YTL) Survey. From 1998 to 2000, the Young Life and Times survey recorded the views of 12 to 17 year olds in Northern Ireland. This survey ran alongside the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey. In 2003 a new Young Life and Times Survey was launched which asked the views of 16 year olds. The results of these surveys are available at the Young Life and Times web site {external_link}.
