"Valuegenesis" is a research study into the faith and values of young people attending Seventh-day Adventist high schools in North America in the three areas of family, school and church. The first survey was conducted in 1990, a second major survey was conducted in 2000, and a third is taking place in 2010. Related studies also termed "Valuegenesis" have been conducted in other countries. == History == Valuegenesis began as one component of "Project Affirmation", a research study by the North American Division (United States and Canada) Office of Education into Adventist education. The first study, "Valuegenesis1" (or simply Valuegenesis) began in 1989. In 1990, more than 13,000 students responded to a survey. Following the study, the Project Affirmation Taskforces gave recommendations for change, which they called "Imperatives for Action". It called for youth ministry resource centers to be established. The (John H. Hancock Center for Youth Ministry ) was formed. In 1993, Steve W. Case criticised the lack of focus on youth of the church, despite the results of the studies.〔(ValueGenesis: Is Anyone Listening? ) by Steve Case〕 The children's Sabbath School curriculum was overhauled, with the lessons ''Our Little Friend'' through ''Insight'' completely rewritten in 2000.〔"(Lighten Up—You’re Only a Steward )" by Margaret Christian. A commentary on the Sabbath School Lesson for June 6–12, 2009; ''Spectrum'' blog〕 Ten years after the first survey, in 2000, the follow-up study "Valuegenesis2" was conducted. More than 18,000 students responded from over 22,000 questionnaires sent out. According to reports by the researchers, students in the second study exhibited a greater faith maturity, yet spent less time reading the Bible. Further studies are being conducted in Europe〔"(European Valuegenesis: a challenge! )" by Corrado Cozzi〕 and other parts of the world. For instance, a "Valuegenesis" survey was conducted in the South Pacific Division in 1997. The principal researcher was Barry Gane.〔Offhand mention in "More than 'bystanders'" by A. Allan Martin.
