Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) - Ghana (North), 2007

The 2007 GSHS surveyed students aged 13-15 in Ghana (North) to assess behaviors related to health risks, including alcohol and drug use, sexual activities, hygiene, diet, physical activity, protective factors, and injuries/violence. Conducted using a two-stage cluster sampling method with an 82% student response rate among 2,548 participants. Key findings highlight high prevalence of risky behaviors across genders.

Alcohol and Drug Use: About 35% of students reported alcohol consumption in the past 30 days; similar rates for drunkenness and negative consequences, with slight variations by gender.
Dietary Behaviors: Roughly 27% of students experienced food insecurity; obesity and overweight rates were low (below 6.5%), with girls showing lower obesity.
Hygiene: Less than half cleaned teeth daily; inadequate handwashing before/after using the toilet was common, affecting over 10-15%.
Physical Activity: Only 11-12% met recommended physical activity levels; excessive sedentary behaviors, like screen time, were high (around 32-34% of days).
Protective Factors: High truancy (about 50%) and low parental engagement were noted; peer kindness was frequently reported as lacking.
Sexual Behaviors: A third (30-31%) had sexual intercourse in the past year; condom use was inconsistently reported, with higher rates among boys.
Injuries and Violence: Significant exposure to violence, with over 60% experiencing physical attacks or injuries; bullying prevalence was around 63-66%.
