Scottish Health Survey: content review

9. Access to SHeS data

Each year the SHeS data is published as two volumes: Volume 1 presents results for adults and children on a variety of health topics and Volume 2 provides methodological information and survey documentation. Both volumes are available on the Scottish Health Survey website along with short summary reports of the key findings from the survey.

Supplementary web tables are also available on this website. These provide a large number of breakdowns by age group, deprivation, income and limiting long-term conditions. An interactive dashboard is also available presenting key indicators for Scotland, NHS Boards and local authority areas. The interactive dashboard will replace the supplementary web tables, once all indicators are included in it.

Individual level anonymised data from the health survey is also deposited on the UK Data Service Datasets.
