2016 Fiji Islands Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) Summary

Introduction and Methodology

The 2016 GSHS was a school-based survey conducted in Fiji Islands, targeting students aged 13-17 years (grades 9-13). A two-stage cluster sampling design was employed, with schools and classes selected proportionally. The school response rate was 97%, the student response rate was 81%, and the overall response rate was 79%. A total of 3,705 students participated, reporting behaviors self-administered via computer. This survey assessed various health behaviors and outcomes, including alcohol use, dietary habits, drug use, hygiene, mental health, physical activity, protective factors, sexual behaviors, tobacco use, and violence/unintentional injury. Data are presented with prevalence percentages and 95% confidence intervals grouped by age and gender.

Summary of Key Findings by Category

Below is a concise overview of the prevalence estimates from the survey:

Alcohol Use: Current alcohol consumption was higher among males than females. Younger students (aged 13-15) reported 12.9% alcohol use, rising to 21.2% among males aged 16-17 years.
Dietary Behaviors: A significant proportion of students were overweight or obese (27.5-29% for the total sample). Soft drink consumption was common, with 63% reporting daily intake, and underweight rates were low (5-8%).
Drug Use: Ever used marijuana rates were higher for males (up to 13.7%) and younger adolescents, but data baseline was missing for first use before age 14.
Mental Health: Suicide considerations and attempts were reported by 10-13% and 10-12% of students, respectively, with lower social support (having close friends) affecting females more.
Physical Activity: Only about 20% met daily physical activity guidelines, while over 30% spent excessive time sedentary.
Protective Factors: Most students reported parental understanding and supervision (48-50%), but over a quarter admitted unauthorized absence.
Sexual Behaviors: Teenage intercourse impacted 15.6% of students overall, with females reportedly engaging less; condom use during last intercourse was around half for those who had sex.
Tobacco Use: Current tobacco use prevalence was lower but gender-specific, with males twice as likely to smoke; 47% of students were exposed to smoking.
Violence and Unintentional Injury: Physical fights and serious injuries were common, highlighting safety concerns across all age groups.
