World Health Survey [hh/whs]
The GSHS is a collaborative surveillance project designed to help countries measure and assess the behavioural risk factors and protective factors in 10 key areas among young people aged 13 to 17 years. The GSHS is a relatively low-cost school-based survey which uses a self-administered questionnaire to obtain data on young people's health behaviour and protective factors related to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children and adults worldwide. The GSHS was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with United Nations' UNICEF, UNESCO, and UNAIDS; and with technical assistance from CDC.
As of December 2011, representatives from more than 107 countries have been trained and 73 countries have completed a GSHS. Twenty-nine countries have been trained but have not conducted their surveys because of insufficient funds, staff turnover, or other in-country barriers. More than 420,000 students have participated in a GSHS survey. The 2008 Ghana GSHS is the second national school health survey to comprehensively assess a range of health behaviours and protective factors among adolescent subgroups. The first was the 2007 Ghana GSHS (junior high school).
The 2006 India GSHS was a school-based survey of students in classes 8, 9, and 10.
The purpose of the GSHS is to provide data on health behaviors and protective factors among students to:

The 2006 India (CBSE) GSHS was a school-based survey of students in classes 8, 9, and 10. A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce data representative of all students in classes 8, 9, and 10 in India (CBSE). At the first stage, schools were selected with probability proportional to enrollment size. At the second stage, classes were randomly selected and all students in selected classes were eligible to participate. A total of 8,130 students participated in the India (CBSE) GSHS.
The school response rate was 99%, the student response rate was 85%, and the overall response rate was 83%.
The GSHS uses a standardized scientific sample selection process; common school-based methodology; and core questionnaire modules, core-expanded questions, and country-specific questions that are combined to form a self-administered questionnaire that can be administered during one regular class period.
The 10 core questionnaire modules address the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children and adults worldwide.
