Description
In 2007, some 9,246 secondary school pupils (S1-S4) across 27 Glasgow City schools completed a health and wellbeing survey questionnaire. This represents nearly 50% of the S1-S4 roll in Glasgow City. The study was commissioned by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and carried out by the SCRE centre at University of Glasgow.
The aims of the study were to provide information which could be used to inform developments within each individual school/New Learning Community and also to provide a baseline of pupil health and wellbeing data against which future progress can be measured.
The survey covered the following topics:
•Demographics – including age, gender, deprivation category, ethnicity, feeder primary, carer/guardian with whom pupils have main residence;
•Mental health, self esteem, locus of control, worries;
•Bullying, racism, accidents, illness and disability;
•Oral health, diet, exercise and travel;
•Smoking, alcohol, drugs;
•Awareness and use of – health services, youth clubs, Childline;
•Antisocial behaviour, carer status and future hopes.
