PO 00000 among nationally representative samples of students at ages 11, 13, and 15 years of age in 40 countries. The HBSC was conducted in the U.S. previously in 1997/1998, 2001/2002, and 2005/2006. Data from previous surveys have been used to identify adolescent health problem areas, develop programs to address these problems, and evaluate existing programs. The 2009/2010 U.S. survey will address a sample of health-related factors according to rigorous research protocols developed by the HBSC. The international HBSC survey requires at least 1,536 youth in each age group and a total of 5,000 students. In the U.S., a nationally representative sample of children in grades 6 through 10 will be surveyed and minority children will be over-sampled to permit comparisons across under-represented populations. The children will be students from approximately 386 schools; in order to assess health programs in those schools and how the school environment supports health behaviors, a school administrator from each school will be surveyed.
