The Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS) is a school-based survey which uses a self-administered questionnaire to obtain data on young people's health behaviour and protective factors related to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.
The survey was conducted in Argentina in 2018.A total of 56,981 students participated.
The school response rate was 86%, the student response rate was 74%, and the overall response rate was 63%.
About the development of a bullying prediction model
From the GHSH, the survey questions related to bullying were selected. This is with the aim of developing a model that allows preventing it.
Some of the indicators of bullying have been related to feelings of loneliness, lack of close friends, poor communication with parents, absence from classes. (eg. Nansel et al Bullying behaviors among US youth: Prevalence and association with psychosocial adjustment)
Likewise, young people identified by bullies as underweight, overweight and obese have been bullied.
