Global School-based Student Health Survey, Jordan 2004 Fact Sheet Summary

Background and Objective

The 2004 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) in Jordan aimed to assess key health behaviors and outcomes among students in classes 8, 9, and 10, focusing on unintentional injuries and violence, hygiene, dietary behaviors, physical activity, tobacco use, mental health, and protective factors. The survey targeted students aged 13-15 years to ensure comparable data for analysis.

Methodology

The survey employed a two-stage cluster sampling design, selecting schools based on enrollment size and randomly choosing classes within schools. All selected students were invited to participate. The school response rate was 100%, the student response rate was 95%, and the overall response rate was 95%. A total of 2,457 students participated.

Key Findings for 13-15-Year-Olds

Dietary Behaviours and Overweight: About 10.3% of students reported going hungry due to insufficient food; 21.4% were overweight, with higher rates among boys (26.6%) compared to girls; obesity affected 4.9% overall, more common in boys.
Hygiene: Roughly 7.5% of students rarely washed hands before eating, and similar proportions (around 5-6%) did so after using the toilet, with slightly higher rates in boys for handwashing behaviors.
Mental Health: Approximately 15.8% felt lonely frequently, 15.1% considered suicide, and nearly 5% had no close friends, with variations by gender.
Physical Activity: Only about 16% of students met recommended physical activity levels (at least 60 minutes daily for all 7 days); over 40% spent excessive time on sedentary activities like watching TV or playing games.
Protective Factors: High rates of school absenteeism without permission were reported by 36.3%; students perceived low kindness in schools, with more boys exhibiting this behavior; parents often did not supervise children's free time adequately.
Tobacco Use: Nearly 12.6% smoked cigarettes, with higher prevalence in boys (19.2%) than girls; use of other tobacco products affected 15%, and about 76% were exposed to smoking in the presence of others.
Unintentional Injuries and Violence: Physical fights occurred in 46.6% of students, with high rates of serious injuries (36.1%) and bullying reported by 46.4%.
