The 2012 public health survey among school pupils in Skåne, the
southernmost part of Sweden, is a cross-sectional study which was performed
primarily in order to assess social, economic, school and health
conditions among school pupils in the sixth and ninth grades in primary
school (grundskolan) and the second grade in secondary school
(gymnasium). The Swedish school system entails nine compulsory
school years in primary school and three school years in secondary
school (gymnasium). Most schools in the 33 municipalities in Skåne
participated in this study, with the exception of the municipality of
Lund regarding the sixth and ninth grades in primary school.
