SALSUS comprises a long running series of national surveys of young people's substance use. From 1982 to 2000 these surveys were carried out jointly in Scotland and England to provide national information on smoking behaviour (from 1982), drinking behaviour (from 1990) and drug use (from 1998). In 2002, Scotland introduced its own (SALSUS) survey which provides national policy makers with vital information to help develop and evaluate policies to reduce the prevalence of substance use in Scotland and to monitor progress towards achieving Scottish Government targets. Every four years the survey also provides information on substance use for local areas. These data are used to help inform local service planning, for example, to develop Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) strategic and delivery plans and to monitor progress towards achieving a number of the ADP core indicators. All SALSUS datasets are available via the UK Data Archive.<br> <br> Further information about the series is available from the NHS National Services Scotland Information Services Division <a href="http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Public-Health/SALSUS" title="SALSUS" target="_blank">SALSUS</a> webpage and from the Scottish Government <a href="http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Research/by-topic/health-community-care/social-research/SALSUS" target="_blank">SALSUS webpages</a>.<br> <br> August 2013: Variables excls1-4, covering school exclusions in years 1-4 were removed from the 2002, 2004 and 2006 data at the request of the NHS National Services Scotland's Caldicott Guardian.The main purpose of the 2008 SALSUS was to continue the series of data to monitor prevalence and trends in smoking, drinking and drug use among young people at Scotland level. The smaller sample size in 2008 means the survey cannot be used to monitor prevalence and trends at Alcohol and Drug Action Team (ADAT), Local Authority and NHS Board level. <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>The 2008 questionnaire covered the following areas: basic demographics; smoking tobacco; health; alcohol consumption; family and where respondent lives; parents' employment; drug use; relationships with family and friends; school; leisure activities.
