We would also like to thank everyone involved in the preparation of this report - Niamh O'Connor, Louise Virdee and colleagues at the Scottish Government who have provided feedback on drafts of this report, and Catherine Bromley at ScotCen for her comments on early drafts.
Thanks are also due to our colleagues in NatCen's operations and computing departments (particularly the Copper Team and Sandra Beeson), to Ann Mair at the Social Statistics Laboratory at Strathclyde University, and to our team of interviewers and supervisors.
Finally, thanks to all those respondents who gave up their free time to take part in the survey.
