The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study has been seeking to understand and monitor young people’s health across Europe and North America for more than 30 years. As the study has grown to include 50 member countries and regions, the utility of the data it provides for the well-being of 11-, 13- and 15-year-olds has also grown.
