Die HBSC-Studie in Deutschland - Studiendesign und Methodik

Abstract

The aim of the HBSC-Study is to collect data on the physical and mental health and health behaviour of children and adolescents and to gain a deeper insight into their situation and the specific environment they grow up in. The HBSC-study is an international school-based cross-sectional survey conducted in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). The survey takes place every 4 years since 1982 and is based on a standardised protocol. In Germany the survey was first conducted in 1994 as a pilot study in North Rhine-Westphalia. The German sample is based on a random sample of classes in all public schools in Germany. 11-, 13-, and 15-year-old pupils are surveyed by means of a paper and pencil questionnaire. The questionnaire comprises a broad selection of -topics, including sociodemographics, health and risk behaviours, family, school and peers. The reported trends in the supplement are based on the data from surveys in 2002 (N=5.650), 2006 (N=7.274) and 2010 (N=5.005). The representative samples for each of the survey years are defined as follows: in 2002 the data is based on information collected in 4 Federal States (Berlin, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony); in 2006 5 states define the German data file (Berlin, Hamburg, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony). The data from the 2010 survey comprises data from 15 Federal States. The HBSC-data contributes towards a better understanding of the relationship between health and living conditions of young people. The papers in this supplement deliver important insights into the living context of young people and in doing this they provide important information about their health and the long-term effectiveness of public-health-measures.

Sozioökonomische Ungleichheiten in der subjektiven Gesundheit bei 11- bis 15-Jährigen in Deutschland. Eine Trendanalyse von 2002-2010

“…Aufgrund dieser Problematik können die Ergebnisse variieren und die Erhebungswellen im Jahr 2002 bzw. 2006 nicht uneingeschränkt auf die gesamte Bundesrepublik übertragen werden [ 16 ] . Da in der KiGGS Studie jedoch ähn-liche Werte bezüglich der Ungleichheiten in der subjektiven Gesundheit für 2006 zu verzeichnen sind [ 7 ] , scheinen mögliche Verzerrungen eine untergeordnete Rolle zu spielen.…”
