Summary of Global School-based Student Health Survey, Guatemala (Capital City Private), 2009

Objective

The 2009 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) in Guatemala (Capital City Private) measured key health behaviors and attitudes among students, including alcohol use, dietary behaviors, hygiene, mental health, physical activity, and sexual behaviors. It aimed to provide data representative of students aged 13-15 years.

Survey Design

A two-stage cluster sample design was used to select schools proportionally to enrollment size and classes randomly. The school response rate was 87%, student response rate was 87%, and overall response rate was 76%. A total of 1463 students participated, clustered in grades primero, segundo, and tercero basico.

Analysis Sample

For this fact sheet, only data from students aged 13-15 years are included.

Alcohol Use: About 25.7% of students drank alcohol at least once in the past 30 days, with boys showing higher rates than girls.
Dietary Behaviors: Overweight and obesity were common issues, with roughly 32-37% of students classified as over or obese.
Hygiene: Most students reported poor tooth-brushing and hand-washing habits, indicating room for improvement.
