Annex A. Comparison of the pooled surveys
In this section, estimates from the pooled SSCQ and its constituent surveys SCJS, SHeS and SHS are displayed and assessed to determine agreement.
Estimates in these tables may not be identical to figures published by the individual surveys. This is due to differences in the valid sample size and weights being applied before pooling (see section 1.2).
| Good/very good | Very good | Good | Fair | Bad | Very Bad | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SSCQ | 72.0 | ± 0.7 | 34.4 | ± 0.9 | 37.6 | ± 0.8 | 19.8 | ± 0.7 | 6.3 | ± 0.4 | 1.8 | ± 0.2 |
| SCJS | 73.0 | ± 1.5 | 36.0 | ± 1.5 | 37.0 | ± 1.5 | 19.5 | ± 1.2 | 5.7 | ± 0.6 | 1.5 | ± 0.3 |
| SHeS | 71.6 | ± 2.1 | 33.0 | ± 2.1 | 38.6 | ± 1.9 | 19.5 | ± 1.4 | 6.8 | ± 0.9 | 2.1 | ± 0.5 |
| SHS | 71.5 | ± 1.2 | 33.9 | ± 1.2 | 37.6 | ± 1.2 | 20.0 | ± 0.9 | 6.4 | ± 0.5 | 1.9 | ± 0.3 |
All three survey estimates of self-assessed general health overlap.

| SSCQ | 17.5 | ± 0.7 |
| SCJS | 18.1 | ± 1.2 |
| SHeS | 17.2 | ± 1.6 |
| SHS | 17.2 | ± 0.9 |
All three survey estimates of current smoking prevalence in the adult population overlap.
| Limiting condition | ||
|---|---|---|
| SSCQ | 25.9 | ± 0.7 |
| SCJS | 23.4 | ± 1.2 |
| SHeS | 34.7 | ± 1.9 |
| SHS | 24.5 | ± 1.0 |
SHeS reports a somewhat higher percentage of adults living with long-term limiting health conditions, while SHS and SCJS estimates overlap. It is thought that respondents are more likely to identify long-term conditions when asked about them in the context of a specific interview about numerous aspects of their health and wellbeing.
| Provides Care | ||
|---|---|---|
| SSCQ | 16.1 | ± 0.6 |
| SCJS | 14.0 | ± 1.1 |
| SHeS | 13.7 | ± 1.4 |
| SHS | 18.3 | ± 0.9 |
SHS reports a higher level of unpaid care than SCJS and SHeS.The confidence intervals on estimates from SCJS and SHeS overlap and do not represent a significant difference. It is thought that the SHS estimate is higher due to this being asked in the context of other questions around volunteering and time spent providing care.
