Summary 

"The Scottish Health Survey (SHeS) series was designed to:

  • estimate the prevalence of certain risk factors associated with these health conditions and to document the pattern of related health behaviours
  • look at differences between regions and between subgroups of the population in the extent of their having these particular health conditions or risk factors, and to make comparisons with other national statistics for Scotland and England
  • monitor trends in the population's health and health related behaviour over time
  • make a major contribution to monitoring progress towards health targets."
