Our UC Santa Barbara research team engages in ongoing efforts to enhance and validate the Social Emotional Health Surveys (Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education). The initiative to enhance the secondary version is supported by an Institute of Education Sciences grant (#R305A160157, 2016-2020), which provides funding to refine, standardize, and accumulate additional validation evidence for the secondary version. This effort has now produced an updated measure, which we call the Social Emotional Health Survey (2020) version. The SEHS-S (2020) represents our efforts to refine and standardize items and response formats and to further extend validation evidence for the covitality construct.
