Acknowledgements
In 2004, the Scottish Household Survey continued to
develop and also to enjoy the support of a wide variety of
people through their contribution to the work of the survey
or by their use and dissemination of the survey findings.
Once again, as the survey contractors, we are grateful for
this continuing support.
The survey is overseen by a Technical Group, who are, in
turn, supported by a broad network of administrators,
researchers and statisticians from within and outwith the
Scottish Executive.
Although the composition has changed somewhat, the
ongoing support of the Technical Group remains a vital
ingredient in the success of the survey. This group also
plays a major role in promoting the dissemination of the
survey findings and the use of the data within the Scottish
Executive and in the wider policy and research communities.
The dissemination of the
SHS has resulted in considerable growth
in the use of the data to examine important policy issues.
The questionnaire used in the survey during 2003/2004
contained a number of changes that reflect emerging policy
issues and the commitment of everyone involved in the
survey to ensure that the
SHS makes a major contribution to
informed policy-making.
The research team would like to thank Emma McCallum,
Lisa Taylor, Frank Dixon, Stephen Hinchliffe, and John
Tibbitt for their continuing support and guidance
throughout 2004 and for their assistance and patience in
the drafting of this report.
Finally, special thanks are due to the 30,822 households
who agreed to take part in the Survey during the course of
2003/2004 and the 120 interviewers who undertook the data
collection.
In spite of all this support, any errors that may remain
in this report are, of course, our own.
