17.  Area deprivation on SSA 2019 is measured using the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2020 divided into quintiles. SIMD 2020 measures the level of deprivation across Scotland – from the least deprived to the most deprived areas. It is based on 38 indicators in seven domains of: income, employment, health, education skills and training, housing, geographic access and crime. Further details are included in the separate technical report.

18.  This question has also been included on the Scottish Health Survey (SHeS) from 2017 onwards. However, the results of the SSA data are not directly comparable with the SHeS data (see https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-health-survey-2019-volume-1-main-report/). On the Scottish Health Survey the question is forwarded by an introductory statement and only asked of respondents who said that they had been worried about running out of food during the past 12 months, whereas there was no equivalent introductory statement on SSA and all respondents were asked this question. In addition, the question appears as part of the computer-assisted self-completion interview (CASI) on SSA but is part of a pen and paper self-completion on the Scottish Health Survey, which may have impacted on response.

19. This is measured using the most commonly used classification of socio-economic status on government surveys, the National Statistics Socio-Economic Classification (NS-SEC). The seven NS-SEC categories are; employers in large organisations, higher managerial and professional; lower professional and managerial, higher technical and supervisory; intermediate occupations; small employers and own account workers; lower supervisory and technical occupations; semi-routine occupations; and, routine occupations.
