Chronic diseases and health promotion

Global school-based student health survey (GSHS) implementation

The GSHS is implemented at country level by a Survey Coordinator who is nominated by the Ministry of Health or Ministry of Education.

This survey coordinator is responsible for the overall management of the project at the country level and functions as a liaison with other agencies and organizations in the country, as well as with WHO and CDC.

Survey implementation workshops in 2013 are planned for new countries wishing to implement GSHS as funds become available.

To date, the following countries have either implemented the GSHS, or are in process:
