Revisions and Corrections
Revisions and corrections to previously published Scottish Health Survey data are dealt with in accordance with the Scottish Government Statistician Group corporate policy on revisions and corrections - a copy of which is available via the following link:
Current Practice on Revisions and Corrections
We undertake to publish any corrections to the published data as soon as they become available.
The electronic version of previously published reports HAVE NOT been updated to take account of these corrections. Please refer to the relevant revisions document below BEFORE accessing the corresponding main report to check whether the table you are interested in has been revised.
2009
An error was discovered with the 2009 (and 2008/2009) survey weights which has a very minor effect on the published estimates in the 2009 annual report and web tables. Although in the majority of cases the effect is very small (less than one percentage point) it does impact on the majority of tables. Separate revisions spreadsheets have been created for each chapter to make them easier to download. These also include details of the small number of tables which were revised prior to the discovery of the weighting error.
2009 revisions summary (last updated 27/09/11)
