New South Wales School Students Health Behaviours Survey
The New South Wales School Students Health Behaviours (SSHB) Survey collects information about the health behaviours and attitudes of secondary school students in New South Wales. The survey includes questions on tobacco, alcohol, illicit drug use, and sun protection from the Australian Students' Smoking, Alcohol and Drug (ASSAD) Survey, with supplementary questions on nutrition, mental health, physical activity, sun protection, and injury. The results from the SSHB Survey are used to provide information about, and comparisons of, trends in health behaviours and attitudes of secondary school students. This information will assist in the development of policies and programs designed to improve student health. It also provides an indicator of the effectiveness of existing health education strategies.
