Aims
• To improve the understanding of young people's health and well-being, health behaviours and their social context
• To support actors in youth health promotion with useful data: regional (Flemish and French governments/communities, Flemish Institute for Health Promotion, ...) and international (WHO, Unicef, ...)

• A collaborative project between national research teams, in partnership with WHO
• Surveys every 4 years using standard international protocol in all countries

Methodology
• Standard international protocol
• Sampling• Questionnaire (content, translation and sections/questions
order)• Survey administration• Data coding and entering• Strict quality controls at each stage
Sampling
• Target population : school-aged children
• Sampled population : • 11, 13 & 15 years old in countries where school system
makes it possible• All school-age children from the 5th grade in primary to the
last grade in secondary schools in French-speaking Community and Flanders
• In French-speaking Community: Sample built in proportion with population size (Provincial level) and school networks (French community, province, municipalities and catholic education network)
• In Flanders: probability proportional to size (PPS) = size of schools taken into account. Every pupil has the same chance to be included.
Questionnaire
• Core questions : • Compulsory (basis of international data)
• Optional packages:• In-depth specific areas
• Opportunity to insert local questions (not in the protocol)
• Self-administered in class under supervision of a school staff
Results
• Alcohol drinking in last 30 days• Type of alcoholic drink• Alcohol initiation• Drunkenness in last 30 days• Drunkenness initiation• Binge drinking (only FWB)

Conclusions
• High frequency of alcohol use (70% in last 30 days in FWB and 76% in Flanders)
• A substantial amount of adolescents also engage in risky alcohol use (such as early experimentation and drunkenness)
• This last group are more likely boys, are older, have a higher family affluence, have a poor health and life satisfaction and engage in other risky behaviours
Strengths and weaknesses
+• Unique study on this topic and with this
methodology• Large scale study• Validity of questionnaire• Repeated measures (time trends)
• International comparisons
-• No information on absents (e.g. sick children,
truancy), dropped-out pupils• Decline of participation rate (school level)
