Note: Aberdeen City recorded an increase in the number of referrals, from 383 in 2001-02, to 701 in 2002-03. This was due to a clarification of what is counted as a referral.
In 2005 Inverclyde and Stirling were unable to provide information on referrals so 2004 data were used.
% of population based on 2004 mid-year estimates from General Register Office (Scotland). Population of 16 and 17 year olds was used for 16+.
For cells shown as "-", figures are not available
In previous years 'unknowns' were allocated to a category rather than being reported as unknown.
