Data Coding and Cleaning
Scottish Government received data from the local authorities for those questions in the core questionnaire only. Where a local authority had included additional questions these were not shared with Scottish Government. As this is a local authority data collection, local authorities have the flexibility to change or exclude questions. Therefore not all core questions were asked in each local authorities.
All questions were voluntary, so respondents were able to move through a question without providing a response. Where respondents did not provide a response, these are coded as NA.
Table 2 below sets out the coding applied to the data received by Scottish Government.
