Survey Methodology

The 2016 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) was conducted in Vanuatu among students in grades 7-11 (typically aged 13-17) using a two-stage cluster sampling design.
At the first stage, schools were selected based on enrollment size; at the second stage, classes were randomly chosen, and all students in selected classes were eligible to participate.
School response rate was 91%, student response rate 63%, and overall response rate 57%. A total of 2,159 students participated.
Students self-reported data via computer-scanable answer sheets, and the survey covered various health behaviors and factors.

Key Health Behaviors Measured

Alcohol use, dietary behaviors, drug use, hygiene, mental health, physical activity, protective factors, sexual behaviors, tobacco use, and violence/unintentional injury.

Main Findings

High prevalence of tobacco use (20.8% current use among adolescents), with notable gender and age differences (e.g., higher among males).
Significant mental health issues: 14.8% seriously considered suicide, and 22.4% attempted it over the 12 months.
Other concerns included high rates of violence (40.2% experienced physical fights) and unintentional injuries (61.4% seriously injured).
Protective factors and supportive parenting showed moderate levels, with room for improvement.
