Dear Householder
National Scottish Survey of Public Attitudes to Mental Health, Well Being and Mental Health Problems
This letter is being sent to ask for your help with an important survey being conducted across Scotland. Your address has been randomly selected on the basis of your postcode to take part in the survey, which is being carried out as part of the Scottish Executive's National Programme for Improving the Mental Health and Well Being of the Scottish Population. The survey is designed to explore what the people of Scotland think about mental health, well being and mental health problems. We hope you will agree to a face-to-face interview, lasting about 30 minutes.
The survey questionnaire has been designed by a multi-disciplinary group of experts and the interviews are being carried out by the NOP Research Group. If you agree to talk to the NOP researcher, everything you say will be treated in total confidence. No data will be seen by anyone outside the survey team. Naturally, you can refuse to answer any question you do not wish to respond to and you will be free to stop the interview at any time if you wish. If you have any queries about the survey you can leave a message for Sarah McHugh at NOP on freephone 0800 279 0770 and she or a colleague will call you back. If you call please quote our reference at the top right of the letter.
The Scottish Executive is committed to policies designed to improve the mental health and well being of the people of Scotland, improve awareness of mental health problems and tackle the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness. The (anonymised) results of the survey will be published in due course by the Scottish Executive so, by agreeing to participate in the survey, you will be playing an important part in the work. We hope you will agree to be interviewed. An interviewer from NOP Research will be calling on you soon.
Yours sincerely
Gregor Henderson
National Programme Director | Fiona Tyrrell
