The aim of the survey is to provide representative information about the composition, characteristics and behaviours of Scottish households, both nationally and at local authority levels (every two years). Respondents are given the option to indicate a willingness to take part in future research projects. The sample for the postal survey for this evaluation was drawn from the database of previous respondents who had expressed a willingness to be surveyed for future projects.
