Acknowledgements

This evaluation study was supported by a grant administered by the Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Executive Health Department, number CZH/4/11.

We wish to thank all members of the Healthy Respect demonstration project, both in management and in the component projects for the large amounts of time they gave to compiling self-audit reports, passing on information and meeting for interviews and conversations.

We wish to acknowledge the generous cooperation offered by the schools and pupils, all the organisations and individuals contacted in services related to young people's sexual health in both Grampian and Lothian, and to the young people who took part in discussions and interviews, for giving us their time and continued support.

Danny Wight and Marion Henderson kindly gave permission to use the MRC SHARE questionnaires and we thank them for allowing us to draw on their experience and advice.

We are also grateful to staff for discussions on data linkage and data retrieval for this study: in particular thanks go to ISD Scotland and The General Register Office Scotland (GROS), Jim Chalmers, Etta Shanks, Steven Williamson, Jennifer Bishop and Gordon McLaren; and Hugh Young and Hamish McKenzie from the microbiology laboratories in Lothian and Grampian respectively for providing the chlamydia test data presented here; and to Alice McLeod for discussions on methodology in estimating effects of deprivation and rurality.
