What’s driving chronic absenteeism among middle and high school students? UC Berkeley researchers, including Professor of Community Health Sciences Emily Ozer, partnered with San Francisco youth over five years to find out. Students identified key barriers—like transit issues, work and caregiving roles, bullying, mental health struggles, and disconnection from school. As co-researchers, students helped shape solutions grounded in their lived experiences.
