Education and Employment Hope (Self-Reliance) Assessment of High School Juniors and Seniors on ND American Indian Reservations.

Data from the Hope survey provides information about students' self confidence in reaching their goals, their sources of support, and their perceptions of possible barriers to future education and employment. These survey results add to the understanding about students' perceived "self-reliance," and the degree to which they feel confident to make choices, take action and take charge of their lives.
