METHODOLOGY
The sample
- Each survey within the HBSC study must be conducted according to the
internationally developed and approved research protocol. To fulfil inter¬
national requirements (namely selecting age groups of pupils with 11.5,
13.5 and 15.5 mean age), and further to include the 17.5-year-old age
group, 5", 7, 9, and 11" graders were considered as target population
in this study.
- Current analyses were done on the Hungarian nationally representative
sample, which was drawn using stratified cluster sampling technique.
Strata were created by geographical regions, by settlement size, by secon¬

maintainer (e.g., municipality, church). Data collection was carried out
in randomly selected school-classes.
- The cleaned sample contains 6291 questionnaires, filled in appropriately.
Mean ages with standard deviations by grade were 11.73 (S.D.*°: 0.59) for
grade 5; 13.71 (S.D.: 0.60) for grade 7; 15.84 (S.D.: 0.67) for grade 9; and
17.98 (S.D.: 0.60) for grade 11.
