Poll Finds Grads Trying to Stay Afloat

by CALVIN WOODWARD and ANN SANNER, Associated Press Writers , May 20, 2009

Categories:

The poll was conducted April 22 to May 4 by Edison Media Research and involved interviews with 2,240 undergraduate students aged 18-24 at four-year colleges. To protect privacy, the schools where the poll was conducted are not being identified, the students who responded were not asked for their names, and people interviewed for this story were not part of the survey. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

The TV network MTVU is operated by the MTV Networks division of Viacom and available at many colleges. MTVU’s sponsorship of the poll is related to its mental-health campaign “Half of Us,” which it runs with the Jed Foundation, a nonprofit group that works to reduce suicide among young people.
