Overview
One of the stated aims of the SHS is to provide a basis from which to undertake detailed follow-up surveys of particular sub-groups from the main survey. This may allow more detailed probing of certain sub-groups or variables of interest, and to examine under-lying issues within the data.
Please note that access to such sensitive and confidential data is safeguarded by regulating access for non-commercial purposes only, and can only be used by the Scottish Government or other research agencies acting on behalf of, or in collaboration with, the Scottish Government or associated bodies.
Presented below is a summary of the most recent follow-up survey requests which have been submitted to the SHS Project Team, with a brief description of the studies.
If you wish to submit a request then please use the pro-forma download option below. This document provides useful background information as to how follow-up surveys can be best used and how to request the necessary information. The pro-forma should be completed and submitted to the SHS Project Team.
We would expect to be able to turn round a special dataset request in a three to four week period, though this will vary depending on the project complexities and available resources.
