Overview
To stimulate the use of SHS data, particularly amongst local authorities, voluntary organisations and academia, the Scottish government developed a simplified dataset called SHS Lite. It is formatted in SPSS to provide all the necessary statistical functions for useful analysis in a form that is easy to navigate. This is avaiable upon request in CD format, or alternatively can be accessed through the UK Data Archive - see How to Access the Data.
Due to the number of requests received for accessing SHS Lite, we do not publish this information on the web. It is collated and monitored centrally though.
If you wish to submit a request then please use the pro-forma download option below. The downloadable document provides useful background information as to the development and use of SHS LiteThis. The pro-forma should be completed and submitted to the SHS Project Team.
