Further information:
This is an aggregated dataset underlying the WHO international report on health behavior of school-aged children, surveys conducted in 2014 and 2018. HBSC teams provided disaggregated data for Belgium, United Kingdom and Denmark. Belgium data is presented as Belgium (Flanders – collected in Flemish) and Belgium (Wallonia and Brussels – collected in French). United Kingdom data is presented as England, Scotland and Wales. Data from Greenland is presented separately from Denmark.
The average is the HBSC average, presented is based on equal weighting of each region, regardless of differences in achieved sample size or country population. Countries are marked where there was a significant gender difference in prevalence.
The HBSC research network is an international alliance of researchers that collaborate on tlth and well-being, social environments and health behaviours. These years mark a period of increased autonomy that can influence how their health and health-related behaviours develop. As such, the HBSC study is the product of topic-focused groups that collaborate to develop the conceptual foundations of the study, identify research questions, decide the methods and measurements to be employed, and work on data analyses and the dissemination of findings.
The HBSC Network is committed to increasing transparency in its work whilst preserving their intellectual property. The data is available for external use by agreement with the HBSC International Coordinator and the Principal Investigators. Information on how to request further data can be found on www.hbsc.org.
Young people were asked how often they had taken part in bullying (an)other student(s) at school in the past couple of months, using the following definition of bullying:
We say a student is being bullied when another student, or a group of students, say or do nasty and unpleasant things to him or her. It is also bullying when a student is teased repeatedly in a way he or she does not like or when he or she is deliberately left out of things. But it is not bullying when two students of about the same strength or power argue or fight. It is also not bullying when a student is teased in a friendly and playful way.
Response options ranged from zero to several times a week. Findings show associations between family affluence and bullying others at least two or three times in the past couple of months.
0 means less than +-0.5%. Low- and high-affluence groups represent the lowest 20% and highest 20% in each country.
0 means less than +-0.5%. Low- and high-affluence groups represent the lowest 20% and highest 20% in each country.
