Global School-based Student Health Survey Summary: Senegal 2005

The 2005 Senegal Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) focused on health behaviors among students aged 13-15, including alcohol and drug use, sexual behaviors, hygiene, dietary habits, physical activity, tobacco use, and protective factors. The survey used a two-stage cluster sampling design with a school response rate of 100% and a student response rate of 60%, involving 3,154 participants.

Key findings by category:

• Alcohol and drug use: Low consumption, with boys showing higher rates than girls.
• Dietary behaviors and overweight: Some students reported food insecurity, and poor eating habits were noted.
• Hygiene: Most students brushed teeth infrequently and rarely washed hands before eating or after using the toilet.
• Physical activity: Only a small percentage met recommended daily activity levels, while high screen time was common among boys.
• Protective factors: Students frequently missed classes without permission, and many felt unsupported by parents regarding free time.
• Sexual behaviors: A significant portion had engaged in sexual intercourse, and condom use was inconsistent among sexually active individuals.
• Tobacco use: Boys had higher cigarette and other tobacco product use compared to girls, with widespread exposure to smoking.

The survey highlights areas for health interventions, with boys generally reporting higher risks in most behaviors, and girls showing lower prevalence in key risk factors.
