Abstract
The school health promotion study, conducted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, examines the well-being, health, and school life of children and young people of different ages. This dataset consists of responses to the 2019 survey by eight- and ninth-graders in basic education and first- and second-year students in upper secondary education. The respondents filled out the questionnaire during the school day at their school or educational institution. The language options for the survey were Finnish, Swedish, Russian, English, and North Sámi.
First, the respondents' opinions on school in general, their class/group, and the teachers were examined. The respondents were asked whether they had had the possibility to influence various things at their school during the present school year. Questions also surveyed how the respondents felt about recesses and breaks, whether they were experiencing difficulties in school, and whether something had bothered them at school. School bullying was examined with questions on whether the respondents had been bullied or had bullied others during the present semester, whether they had told anyone if they had been bullied, and what had happened after they had reported it. The respondents' physical and mental health, social relationships, and dating and sexual health were also charted.
Next, the respondents' habits regarding brushing their teeth, sleeping, and physical exercise were surveyed. The respondents were asked whether they used tobacco products, alcohol, or other substances, and how they had gotten the substances they had used. Harassment, sexual harassment, and violence experienced by the respondents were also examined. The respondents were asked whether they had received help or services from a school nurse, physician, social worker or psychologist, and how easy it had been to get help. Finally, the respondents' relationship with their family and how they spent their leisure time were charted.
Background variables included the respondent's NUTS3 region of residence, official and perceived gender, year of birth, whether R was a minor, grade in school, living arrangements (categorised), background based on R's and their parents' country of birth (categorised), and how long R had lived in Finland.

Completeness of Data and Restrictions
The questionnaires were named at FSD as follows: A = eight- and ninth-graders, B = students in vocational upper secondary education, and C = students in general upper secondary education. The variables in the data were named according to questionnaire A. If a variable was not included in all questionnaires, initials identifying the questionnaires where the variable was present were added before the question text (e.g. q00 '(BC) Question text'). Variables not included in questionnaire A were numbered consecutively following the last variable from questionnaire A. If a specific question in a question group was not included in all questionnaires, initials identifying the questionnaires where the question was present were added before the question text with no changes in the variable name and numbering (e.g. q00_9 '(B) Question text').
To prevent identification of respondents, the researchers removed all regional variables more specific than NUTS3 region of residence, the respondent's field of education, and unique identifiers, from the data. The respondent's month of birth was replaced with variable q4 created by the researchers (denoting whether R was a minor). Additionally, variables denoting circumcision (B= q42 and C= q41), sexual interaction with a person at least five years older than R (q41-q44), and who had subjected R to violence or sexual violence (q76, q78, q84 and q88) were removed from the data. The researchers categorised variable q98 (denoting living arrangements) and removed variables q99 and q100 specifying R's living arrangements. Variable q111_12 denoting publishing media content was also categorised, and variable q22 denoting whether R was overweight was formed by the researchers based on R's height and weight. Three categorised variables (background based on country of birth with 4, 3 and 2 categories) were formed based on variable q104 denoting R's and their parents' country of birth. The three categorised variables do not include those who were from the Åland Islands, and those who were from Kainuu and Central Ostrobothnia were marked as missing data in variables q104_1 (4 categories) and q104_2 (3 categories) at FSD. In variable q3 denoting year of birth, those who were born in 2000 or earlier were combined into one category. In variable q105 (How long have you lived in Finland?), the lowest values were combined into one category, and those who were from Kainuu were marked as missing data.
The archived data do not include questions 115-132 from the questionnaires (numbering according to questionnaire A), which related to the respondent living with relatives, in a foster family, in a family care home, or at a child welfare institution. Additionally, those who responded to a plain language questionnaire are not included in the archived data.
