About open access
The international datafile is restricted for the use of HBSC member country teams for a period of three years from its completion, thereafter it will be open access. The HBSC 2021/22 data is under embargo until October 2026.
Please note that data from optional packages are not available. Neither are data from rounds prior to 2001/02.
Documentation relevant for each of the available files is listed under the survey round below. To see a complete overview of which countries participated in the survey rounds, see participating countries by survey years. Use the button at the top of the page to request data.
