The 2010 Tonga Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) was a school-based survey of students in Forms 2, 3, and 4.

The purpose of the GSHS is to provide data on health behaviors and protective factors among students to: - Help countries develop priorities, establish programs, and advocate for resources for school health and youth health programs and policies; - Allow international agencies, countries, and others to make comparisons across countries regarding the prevalence of health behaviors and protective factors; and - Establish trends in the prevalence of health behaviors and protective factors by country for use in evaluation of school health and youth health promotion.
