4. The Go Well research programme has a number of linked research projects one of which, the Community Health and Wellbeing Survey, consists of a 10 year repeated cross sectional survey and a longitudinal element at the individual level in fourteen study areas in Glasgow, with a sample of 6000 residents achieved at each wave. The longitudinal element, consisting of both a tracker survey and a tracer survey, will attempt to track 1,000 individuals from the two areas undergoing the most significant change'. For more details on each of the elements see the project summary in Appendix 3.

17. The focus of Scottish Government work is to develop the collection, sharing and use of administrative data. This will be the source of data for the National Indicator, will support interventions by partners engaged in the More Choices More Chances agenda, and enable common high quality data to be used across partners - who in addition, may wish to place it alongside other more qualitative material.
18. A sample safeguarding exercise was conducted in 2007 to re-contact the cohort and inform the methodological development of any future phases of the survey. The report is available from the study team on request at http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/cls/esytc/findings/technical.htm. For more details see the project summary in Appendix 3
