Commissioned by the Scottish Government Health Directorates, the series provides regular information on aspects of the public's health and factors related to health which cannot be obtained from other sources. The SHeS series was designed to:<ul><li>estimate the prevalence of particular health conditions in Scotland;</li><li>estimate the prevalence of certain risk factors associated with these health conditions and to document the pattern of related health behaviours;</li><li>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;</li><li>monitor trends in the population's health over time;</li><li>make a major contribution to monitoring progress towards health targets.</li></ul>Each survey in the series includes a set of core questions and measurements (height and weight and, if applicable, blood pressure, waist circumference, urine and saliva samples), plus modules of questions on specific health conditions that vary from year to year. Each year the core sample has also been augmented by an additional boosted sample for children. Since 2008 NHS Health Boards have also had the opportunity to boost the number of adult interviews carried out in their area. <br> <br> The Scottish Government <a href="https://www.gov.scot/collections/scottish-health-survey/" title="Scottish Health Survey">Scottish Health Survey</a> webpages contain further information about the series, including latest news and publications. <br> <br><div>The Scottish Health Survey, 2014 was the tenth survey in the series.</div><div><br></div><div>For the fourth edition (February 2020), new equivalised income derived variables based on the OECD scoring method (as included in SHeS 2015 onwards) were added to the individual file. The dataset documentation has been updated accordingly.</div><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>Topics covered included household composition, demographics (including ethnicity, religion, educational background and economic activity), general health including caring, cardiovascular disease, use of health services, respiratory disease and asthma, physical activity, sedentary activity, barriers and motivations to exercise, eating habits, fruit and veg consumption, vitamins and supplements, smoking and drinking, dental health, stress at work, and a second stage follow-up visit from a survey nurse to collect biological samples and anthropometric measurements.<div><br></div><div>Three new questions were added to the face-to-face element of the questionnaire for 2014, including two about the use of electronic cigarettes, and one about the impact of the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games on motivations to take part in physical activity or sport. Also, two questions last included in 2010 were also reinstated for 2014: one about the places where people do physical activity, and one about the frequency of using particular places for physical activity.</div><div><br></div><div>The study also includes combined datasets covering 2012/14, and 2012/13/14. They contain information from the household questionnaires, main individual schedules, self-completions and the biological modules (where applicable). The combined datasets have been provided to give a larger base for analysis of variables from the biological module. The individual year datasets should be used for analysis of individual years, including comparison between years.</div> ILL HEALTHINFORMAL CARELIFE SATISFACTIONCOMPLEMENTARY THERAPIESSEXUAL BEHAVIOURBIRTH CONTROLSEXUALITYHEADACHESEYE DISEASESDEBILITATIVE ILLNESSVASCULAR DISEASESMEDICAL EXAMINATIONSHEALTH STATUSHOSPITAL WAITING LISTSHEALTH ADVICEMEDICINAL DRUGSBUILDING MAINTENANCEWATER SPORTSAEROBIC EXERCISEEDUCATIONAL CERTIFICATESDIARRHOEAMEDICAL PRESCRIPTIONSMOTHERSMUSCULOSKELETAL DISEASESOBESITYPARENTSPOTATOESQUALIFICATIONSRESPIRATORY TRACT DISEASESSAVOURY SNACKSSMOKINGSOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITSFOOD POISONINGDENTAL DISEASESDENTAL TREATMENTDEPRESSIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYEXAMINATIONSFOOD SUPPLEMENTSHAEMATOLOGIC DISEASESUNEMPLOYEDVOCATIONAL EDUCATION CERTIFICATESBEVERAGESCYCLINGEDUCATIONAL BACKGROUNDGENDERWEIGHT LIFTINGANXIETYANTHROPOMETRIC DATACONTRACEPTIVE DEVICESHOUSEWORKMANAGERSMEATMOTOR PROCESSESPASSIVE SMOKINGPHYSICIANSPREGNANCYRUNNINGSELF-ESTEEMSPORTSURGERYRELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONALCOHOL USECEREAL PRODUCTSDIABETESEMPLOYMENTGARDENINGVITAMINSJOB SEEKER'S ALLOWANCEMENTAL HEALTHMILKOCCUPATIONAL QUALIFICATIONSPAINPATIENTSSALTSTRESS (PSYCHOLOGICAL)SWIMMINGIMMUNIZATIONJOB HUNTINGLEGUMESSUGARSYMPTOMSALCOHOLISMBLOODCAUSES OF DEATHCONFECTIONERYDRUG USEETHNIC GROUPSFISH (AS FOOD)GENERAL PRACTITIONERSTOBACCOWEIGHT (PHYSIOLOGY)ALCOHOLIC DRINKSCEREALSDIET AND EXERCISEFAMILIESHEIGHT (PHYSIOLOGY)PART-TIME EMPLOYMENTPHYSICAL ACTIVITIESPOULTRYRACKET GAMESSELF-EMPLOYEDSMOKING CESSATIONSOFT DRINKSSUPERVISORSDECISION MAKINGMARITAL STATUSAGEBALL GAMESCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASESCLINICAL TESTS AND MEASUREMENTSBEREAVEMENTEMPLOYERSFATHERSHEALTH CONSULTATIONSCOHABITINGLANDLORDSHOUSING BENEFITSSAVINGSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHEADS OF HOUSEHOLDEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMESFATHER'S OCCUPATIONAL STATUSMOTHER'S OCCUPATIONAL STATUSEMOTIONAL STATESCARSMEDICAL CARECOUGHINGDISEASESEXERCISE (PHYSICAL ACTIVITY)HEALTHHEART DISEASESHOSPITALIZATIONHOUSING TENUREMEDICAL DIAGNOSISTIMEADVICECHILDRENDAIRY PRODUCTSDISABILITIESEMPLOYEESFAMILY MEMBERSFULL-TIME EMPLOYMENTHEALTH SERVICESINCOMESTATE RETIREMENT PENSIONSTEETHTOP MANAGEMENTUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSVEGETABLESWALKINGWORKING CONDITIONSPRIVATE PENSIONSCARE OF DEPENDANTSCONCENTRATIONDENTAL HEALTHEMPLOYMENT HISTORYFRUITHEALTH PROFESSIONALSHOUSEHOLDSMEDICAL HISTORYSOCIAL CLASSLUNG DISEASESHOSPITAL OUTPATIENT SERVICESACCIDENTSSICK LEAVEINJURIESPRIVATE HEALTH SERVICESCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONSOCIAL CAPITALNEIGHBOURSINTERPERSONAL TRUSTSOCIAL SUPPORTDISCRIMINATIONBULLYINGINTERPERSONAL CONFLICTWORK-LIFE BALANCENATIONAL IDENTITYLIFE STYLESLIFESTYLE AND HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH RISKSBREAST-FEEDINGCANCER PREVENTIONCERVICAL CANCERCANCERSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESSEXUAL HEALTHCHILD BEHAVIOURSUICIDESELF-HARMPHYSICAL MOBILITYURBAN AREASRURAL AREASALLERGIESASTHMABRONCHIAL DISEASESRESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONSHOUSING CONDITIONSSPORTING EVENTS en 2015-12-09T15:16:08Z Dataset <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/re-using-public-sector-information/uk-government-licensing-framework/crown-copyright/" target="_blank">© Crown copyright</a>.
