The 2005 Global School-based Student Health Survey in Lebanon evaluated key health behaviors and risks among 13-15-year-old students, focusing on alcohol and drug use, unintentional injuries and violence, hygiene, dietary behaviors and overweight, mental health, and protective factors. The study used a two-stage cluster sampling design with a high response rate, involving 5,11 pervasive issues among adolescents. Key findings showed higher rates of alcohol and drug use among boys compared to girls, while girls exhibited lower rates in most categories except mental health indicators. Health challenges included significant proportions of students experiencing hunger, obesity, poor hygiene, loneliness, and violence; for instance, over 20% considered suicide in the past year, and nearly half were victims of physical attacks. Overall, the survey highlighted urgent public health concerns for youth well-being.
