Series Information
The Global school-based student health survey (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.
Abstract
The 2007 Djibouti GSHS was a school-based survey of students in Classe de 5ème, Classe de 4ème, Classe de 3ème, and Other.

The purpose of the GSHS is to provide data on health behaviors and protective factors among students to:
- Help countries develop priorities, establish programs, and advocate for resources for school health and youth health programs and policies;
- Allow international agencies, countries, and others to make comparisons across countries regarding the prevalence of health behaviors and protective factors; and
- Establish trends in the prevalence of health behaviors and protective factors by country for use in evaluation of school health and youth health promotion.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The GSHS survey of Djibouti has used a two-level sampling to produce a representative sample of students in grades and ages.

The first stage of sampling included 13 schools with a probability of selection proportional to the number of students enrolled. 11 schools participated in the GSHS survey Djibouti.

The second stage of sampling consisted of randomly selecting intact classes (using the table of numbers to chance) for the participation of each school. All classes at each school selected entaient included in the sampling plan. All students in each sampled class are eligible to participate in the survey.
Response Rate
For the GSHS survey of Djibouti, 1777 questionnaires were completed for 11 schools in Djibouti city (8 schools) Tadjourah (1 school) Alisabieh (1 school), Dikhil (1 school). The school response rate was 85%, the student response rate was 98% and the overall response rate was 83%.
Weighting
A weighting factor was applied to the answers of each student to resolve "no answers" and variances of the probability of selection.
