Data
With nearly 40 years of data, including responses from over 1,300,000 young people, the HBSC study provides a unique and indispensable resource to compare the health and well-being of adolescents between countries and over time.
Member countries and stakeholders at national and international levels use our data to monitor young people’s health, understand the social determinants of health and well-being, and determine effective health improvement interventions.
Those working in child and adolescent health view HBSC as an extensive databank and repository of multidisciplinary expertise, which can: support and further their research interests, lobby for change, inform policy and practice, and monitor trends over time.
The HBSC network is committed to developing ways to increase the use of the study’s data by external researchers so that this rich resource may be put to full use.
