Scottish Health Survey: content review

3. Aims of the review

The aims of the review are:

• To understand how existing data is being used by key stakeholders
• To identify whether any existing data is no longer needed and can be removed from the survey
• To identify whether there is a need to update the questions asked about specific topics
• To identify whether there is a need for any new topics or physical measurements to potentially be included in SHeS

It is very important to gain an understanding of how users are utilising the current data in the survey as this will help to shape the future content.

While the review provides an opportunity to make suggestions for new topics/additional questions to be included in SHeS in future, space is very limited and we are unlikely to be able to accommodate all new requests for data.
