Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC)

The Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study is an international research project that examines the health, well-being, and behaviors of young people aged 11 to 15. It collects information on topics like physical activity, nutrition, mental health, substance use, and social relationships to understand their overall health and the factors influencing it. The goal is to identify trends and issues affecting adolescents to help develop effective policies and programs that promote healthier lifestyles and improve their quality of life during these formative years.
