Scotland's People Volume 7: results from the 2001/2002 Scottish Household Survey
Footnotes
1 This report provides results only from the SHS. Additional information on many topic areas may be available from the various statistics branches of the Scottish Executive and contact details are provided on p.190. Previous Annual and Technical Reports are available at www.scotland.gov.uk/shs.
2 Adults who are household members but have been living away for the previous six months are excluded from the selection of the random adult. Children and students living away during term time are counted as household members but are excluded from the random adult and random school child selection.
3 Where the same person completes both parts one and two (i.e. they are both the household respondent and selected as the random adult) the CAPI script does not repeat the questions common to both sections. This means that these respondents are not asked for the same information twice.
4 These are mainly addresses without any private dwellings (such as businesses) and vacant or derelict addresses.
5 In households where there is only one adult, that person has 100% chance of selection for part two but where there is more than one adult, the probability of a particular person being selected is less. This has been taken into account in the weighting.

7 Significance is tested by calculating Z-scores for the difference between the two proportions being compared. In the calculation, the standard error of the proportions is multiplied by a factor of 1.2 to account for the fact that some of the sample is clustered rather than a simple random sample.

9 In 2001, there were questions about the frequency of, and feeling of safety when, "walking in the local neighbourhood in the evening these days, say between 7pm and 10pm". These were replaced by a single question in 2002, about the feeling of safety when "walking alone in your neighbourhood after dark". The references to "alone" and "after dark" in the question asked in 2002 mean that its results are not comparable with those of the previous year's questions.
10 The glossary provides details of how household income is derived.
