2010 UNRWA West Bank Global School-based Student Health Survey Summary

Background:
The 2010 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) in the West Bank assessed dietary behaviors, drug use, hygiene, mental health, physical activity, protective factors, tobacco use, and violence/unintentional injury among students in grades 7-9. A two-stage cluster sampling design was used with a 90% overall response rate, involving 2015 participants aged 13-15 years.

Key Findings by Category:

Dietary Behaviors: High rates of overweight (25.6%) and obesity (7.0%) were reported, with widespread consumption of carbonated soft drinks (60.3% daily).
Drug Use: Nearly 82.6% of drug users initiated use before age 14; lifetime marijuana use was lowest among girls (1.5%).
Hygiene: Below-average tooth-brushing (31.8%) and hand-washing after toilet use (4.4%) were common, with higher rates observed in boys.
Mental Health: A significant minority considered suicide (20.9%), with actual attempts (21.3%) and social isolation (e.g., few friends) showing gender disparities.
Physical Activity: Low levels of daily physical activity (23.5%) were recorded, while sedentary behaviors (33.6% daily sitting) were prevalent.
Protective Factors: High school absence (36.5%) and poor parental support for girl students were noted, but girls reported better parental understanding compared to boys.
Tobacco Use: Cigarette smoking was common (20.2%), with early initiation (87.2%) among ever-users, particularly boys.
Violence and Unintentional Injury: Physical fights (38.0%) and injuries (29.5%) were frequently reported, with higher incidents among boys; bullying affected most students (54.8%).
