All Ireland Traveller Health Study Use of a seatbelt varies. From the HBSC SC 5-6 9-year-olds, 86.8% always use a seatbelt when they sit in a car, compared with 84.9% of ROI but only 65.6% of NI 9-year-old Travellers. Physical activity is shown in Figure 14. The NI children appear to be less active than ROI and HBSC children, though the numbers in NI are small. From the NLSC/GUI 9-year-olds, of all children surveyed, only 3% were not physically active for at least one hour on one day of the week, compared with a similar proportion in ROI Travellers (3.4%). Again, substantially more NI AITHS 9-year-olds were not physically active (6.8%). Figure 14: Percentage of 9-year-old children who are physically active for a least an hour a day, by number of days of activity per week 60 50 % of 9-year-old children 40 30 20 10 0 4-6 days 7 days 4-6 days 7 days 4-6 days 7 days 4-6 days 7 days ROI Travellers NI Travellers HBSC SC 5-6 children HBSC all children Fewer 9-year-olds children in the HBSC SC 5-6 group report eating fruit and vegetables, than do parents of 9-year-olds in the AITHS; only 22.8% of HBSC SC 5-6 9-year-old report eating fruit more than once a day, and fewer again (15.9%) report eating vegetables more than once a day. 34.3% of ROI Traveller 9-year-olds and 7.7% of NI Traveller 9-year-olds eat sweets once or more a day, compared with 25.5% of HBSC 9-year-olds in SC 5-6, 23.3% of ROI Traveller 9-year-olds and 12.4% of NI Traveller 9-year-olds drink sugary, fizzy drinks once or more a day, compared with 17.1% of HBSC 9-year-old in SC 5-6. 5% of 9- year-olds in the NLSC/GUI lowest income group did not have breakfast regularly, compared with 10.3% of ROI and 19.3% of NI 9-year-olds, who had a weekday breakfast 2 or less days a week. Of the NLSC/GUI 9-year-olds, 89% had a computer in their home. This compares with 22.9% of ROI and 18.5% of NI Traveller children. 200
Health Survey Findings Regarding the issue of bullying, 40% of NLSC 9-year-olds self-reported that they had been bullied or picked on in the last year. However, by maternal report in NLSC/GUI, prevalence of bullying in the last year was 23.4%, comparable with parental report of bullying in 22.5% of ROI and 22.2% of NI Traveller 9-year-olds. In the HBSC study of 9-year-old children in SC 5-6, 50.5% of the children reported that they had experienced bullying at school in the last few months. In contrast, 22.5% of ROI Traveller 9-year-olds and 22.2% of NI 9-year-olds had been picked on by an adult or a child in the last 12 months, by parental report. Less than 1% of children in the ROI and no children in the NI AITHS 9-year-olds are reported to have less than one close friend, compared to 2% of NLSC 9-year olds (Table 249). These findings may be consistent with the strong emphasis given to community in the Traveller culture. 95% of NLSC/GUI 9-year olds agreed that they felt safe in the area where they live. Parental report regarding the AITHS 9- year olds described that 93.6% of NI but only 85.2% of ROI children feel safe most of the time or always. Table 249: Number of close friends in the AITHS and NLSC/GUI 9-year olds.
