PeNSE - National Survey of School Health
Experimental Statistics
About - 2009-2019 Analysis of comparable indicators on students in the 9th grade of primary school
The National Survey of School Health - PeNSE, carried out by the IBGE in partnership with the Ministry of Health and with the support of the Ministry of Education, investigates aspects that allow knowledge and measurement of risk factors and health protection to students, having as reference for the selection the records of the public and private schools in the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira - INEP.
With this publication, the IBGE analyzes a group of comparable indicators on several topic approached by the survey since its first edition, having selected for the survey students enrolled in the 9th grade of primary school and regular attendance to public and private schools of Capital Municipalities. The choice of this target public for analysis, it is worth mentioning, was motivated not only by its presence in all the editions of PeNSE, but also because it concentrates the age range of interest (13 to 15) preconized by the World Health Organization – WHO) for investigations of school health – after all, it is in this group that people start habits that will lead to most Non-Transmissible Chronic Diseases – DCNT, which last one’s entire life.
The publication describes the methodological procedures that guided the four editions of the survey and presents analytical commentaries that form a multiple profile of the students investigated and evidence the main aspects observed in each of the topics considered.
Because some of the procedures implemented for the analysis of the 2009-2019 time series configure statistics obtained from the employment of new methods, not previously adopted by the IBGE, they are characterized, in this publication, as experimental, that is, they are still being evaluated as they have not yet reached full maturity in terms of harmonization, coverage or methodology. Statistics, however, plays a strategic and innovative role. As they present analysis of trends and information about the prevalence of risk factors and protection relative to the decade that preceded the COVID-19 pandemic, a disease whose effects had major implications on the population’s living and health conditions, with a strong impact on youth and teenagers, these indicators may, as well, contribute to the planning of social and recovery policies that can deal with the huge inequalities and vulnerabilities Brazilian teenagers are exposed to.
Besides this publication, the table plan with results for Capial Municipalities, from PeNSE 2019, and the specific table plan for the time series analysis, are available on the IBGE website.

Errata
Correction of the codification of answers to variable “V008 – Administrative sphere of the school” in the data dictionary of PeNSE 2015
Published date: 25/05/2018
Description:
The error resulted from a failure in the typing of possible answers to variable “V008 – Administrative sphere of the school” in the data dictionary of PeNSE 2015. The inversion of categories “1 – Municipal” and “3 – Federal” generated incorrect results for "Administrative sphere of the school". The variable, previously codified as “1 – Municipal; 2 – State; 3 – Federal; 4 – Private”, was changed into: “1 – Federal; 2 – State; 3 – Municipal; 4 – Private”.
Actions: Correction of the codification of the possible answers to to variable “V008 – Administrative sphere of the school” in the data dictionary of Pense 2015.
