Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Research Group - HBSC
The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study is a unique international project, which aims to gain new insight into and increase understanding of health behaviour, lifestyles and their context in young people in Europe and North America. It examines 11–15-year-old students’ self-reported health status, i.e. well-being, and health-related habits (both health-supportive and health compromising behaviours), as well as influencing factors (i. e. bio-psycho-social environment of statuses and behaviours). HBSC was initiated in 1982 in three countries. Hungary joined in 1985 in the second joining wave. Surveys within the study are conducted in a growing number of countries. Since 1985 surveys have been conducted at four-year intervals. The latest international survey was carried out in the 2017/18 academic year. This was the ninth nationally representative survey (involving more than 6000 students) in Hungary.
