| Annotation | This is the sixth of a series of surveys aimed at monitoring health in Scotland. It was commissioned by the Scottish Government Health Directorates, and produced by a collaboration between the Scottish Centre for Social Research, the MRC Social and Public Health Sciences Unit based in Glasgow, and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London (UCL). The survey is based on interviews with more than 9000 adults and children each year. Previous surveys were undertaken in 1995, 1998 and 2003. From 2008, they will be continuous until 2011. Volume 1 (Main report) presents results for the topics listed: general health and mental wellbeing; dental health; alcohol consumption; smoking; fruit and vegetable consumption; physical activity; obesity; respiratory health; cardiovascular disease diagnoses and symptoms; and multiple risks. Volume 2 (Technical report) provides methodological information and survey documentation. Both volumes are available from the website (www.scotland.gov.uk/scottishhealthsurvey). (RH). |
