Data collection

Preparing for the school health promotion study

Reserve at least 45 minutes to complete the survey so that the survey can be continued during the recess if necessary. The survey is carried out during the school day under the supervision of a teacher. If student groups respond at different times, there will be less burden on information systems and networks.

The instructions and material for the data collection of the School health promotion study will be delivered to the educational institution approximately one week before the start of the survey. Inform guardians in advance about the survey. The guardian may, if they wish, prohibit the participation of a child under the age of 15.

Survey situation

Students answer with online questionnaires that are accessible and suitable for answering with assistive devices. Responses to the survey can be given using computers or mobile devices. The students may also respond to the survey with their personal devices. Make sure everyone can answer independently and in peace.

After answering

The questions of the School health promotion study include many themes related to well-being. Some respondents may want to talk to an adult if they have any questions. Inform the student welfare services of the time of the survey at your educational institution and ask them to be prepared for discussions. The questionnaire and the respondent's instructions also mention helpline and online services that are prepared to talk to children and young people.
