Research for the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (2022) Collaborative Study

Department of Health

The Health Behaviours in School-Aged Children Study is an international survey conducted in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO). The aim of this survey is to collect comparable data from school-aged children using an internationally agreed protocol, every 4 years.
The selected age groups โ€“ 8 โ€“ 18-year olds โ€“ represent age groups from middle childhood through the onset of adolescence to their final years in school, when they start to consider important life and career decisions.
Ireland has been a member of the WHO-HBSC Network since 1994. The 2018 study surveyed 15,557 children aged between 8-18 years of age, drawn from a representative sample of 255 primary and post-primary schools across the country, via an anonymous self-completion questionnaire. HBSC has been funded by the Department of Health since Ireland joined the HBSC Network.
The reports from previous waves of HBSC are available through the NUIG website: http://www.nuigalway.ie/hbsc/
