Scottish Health Survey: content review

4. Scottish Survey Core Questions

In addition to questions on a variety of health topics, SHeS includes a number of questions which form the Scottish Surveys Core Questions (SSCQ). These are a limited set of questions included in all three major population surveys (Scottish Health Survey, Scottish Crime and Justice Survey, and Scottish Household Survey) in order to provide a large sample for these key questions. The current core questions are available on the Scottish Surveys website, here Scottish Surveys: Core and Harmonised Questions

The core questions are not included in this review as they are agreed by the Scottish Government's Office of the Chief Statistician (OCS). OCS are intending to run their own review about the core questions in the near future, which will feed into SHeS.
