To understand the actual situation and needs of young researchers and to provide reference for the management of Young Researchers Association (YRA) and the Japanese Society for Hygiene activities in the future.
An Internet survey was conducted on 67 members registered in YRA of the Japanese Society for Hygiene. The questions included those on basic information, research content and impressions about the activities of the society.
Although members of YRA differ in backgrounds, research method used, and years of research experience, the respondents rated the organization as highly useful and participated continuously. In particular, they considered that participation in the planning of academic conferences and summer gatherings of YRA not only helped improve interpersonal relationships and expertise, but also provided opportunities to consult regarding educational activities and collect information. Regarding the format of conferences, it was shown that the majority of requests were for a hybrid format. It was also shown that most of the respondents expected opportunities for collaboration and joint research through participation in YRA.
Through YRA, we would like to contribute to the further revitalization of young researchers and the Japanese Society for Hygiene by understanding and responding to the needs of diverse young researchers.
了解青年研究人员的实际情况和需求，为青年研究人员协会（YRA）的管理以及日本卫生学会未来的活动提供参考。
对日本卫生学会YRA注册的67名成员进行了网络调查。问题包括基本信息、研究内容以及对学会活动的印象等方面。
尽管YRA成员在背景、所采用的研究方法和研究经验年限等方面存在差异，但受访者对该组织评价很高并持续参与。特别是，他们认为参与YRA学术会议和夏季聚会的策划不仅有助于改善人际关系和专业技能，还提供了就教育活动进行咨询和收集信息的机会。关于会议形式，结果显示大多数要求是采用混合形式。还表明大多数受访者期望通过参与YRA获得合作和联合研究的机会。
通过YRA，我们希望通过了解和回应不同青年研究人员的需求，为青年研究人员的进一步振兴以及日本卫生学会做出贡献。
