Scottish Household Survey Key Findings

07 The SHS asks these questions to a sample of the population living in Scotland. This group of people should represent the people of Scotland so that we can use our data to talk about the country as a whole. The selection of households is random, meaning that every household within each council has an equal chance of getting selected. Interviewers make every attempt to contact these households, so that accurate comparisons can be reported and so that we get robust results. If they agree to take part, adults in the household will be interviewed in a face-to-face interview. 63% of people asked agreed to take part in the survey 10,580 households participated in the household section of the interview 9,780 adults participated in the random adult section of the interview Introduction Scottish Household Survey Key findings Help Shape Scotland
