Scottish Health Survey 2008
We have developed a reporting matrix for the Scottish Health Survey 2008 giving you a summary of how results for the different topics will be reported. We regard this as a dynamic document which is not set in stone. If you have any views on it - please let us know.
We intend to produce similar summaries for 2009 - 2011.

Publications using Scottish Health Survey Data
Catto S, Gibbs D, Mitchell R (2009) Are people becoming more active? Published by NHS Scotland/ScotPHO. Combined results from Scotland's routine national surveys. This report provides an assessment of long term trends in physical activity amongst adults aged 16-64 in Scotland. Combining data from three Scottish Health Surveys (1995, 1998 and 2003) and ten Health Education Population Surveys (spanning 1996 to 2006), regression analysis is used to examine whether there has been any change in the proportion meeting the recommendations for physical activity between 1995 and 2006. The report also describes inequalities in compliance with the recommendations by gender, age and deprivation. It concludes with recommendations for future survey-based monitoring of physical activity in Scotland
