摘要:T he Health-Related Behaviour Questionnaire (HRBQ) is a widely-used lifestyle survey instru- ment offered by the Schools Health Education Unit (SHEU). The original purpose of the HRBQ was needs assessment, curriculum and service planning in schools, but it has found uses in public health monitoring and needs assessment at local authority level. In 2012, the survey was used in more than 500 schools in 28 local authorities, and completed by nearly 100,000 pupils; in 2013, an almost entirely different set of schools and authorities took part. Over the years, millions of questionnaires have been processed by the Unit, contributing to a unique databank of young people's behaviour which is both wide – having in it many different topics – and long – going back to the early 1980s. An early example of the HRBQ being used in deciding curriculum priorities for a school was from a city in the South West
