Scottish Household Survey 2019 - Summary Report

6 Many people have chosen to take part in the survey The Scottish Household Survey has given people in Scotland the chance to share their views and experiences on a range of issues and help shape public services locally and in Scotland as a whole. Every year, the SHS asks a set of questions to a sample of the population living in Scotland – they are selected randomly and can therefore represent the people of Scotland. These questions cover a great range of topics. Not every adult is asked every question, and not every question is asked every year. This means that SHS data is at its best when looking at changes over longer periods of time. Over 270,000 households have participated in the household section of the interview Over 400,000 adults have participated in the random adult section of the interview Help Shape Scotland
