Health Education Population Survey (HEPS): Update from 2007 survey
This report presents an update on time trends in health-related knowledge, attitudes, motivations and behaviours in Scotland over the period 1996-2007, providing data from the Health Education Population Survey in 2007. This report focuses on areas where there has been a change, or consolidation of an earlier change, in 2007.
A core element of the work of NHS Health Scotland, and health improvement generally, is to increase public awareness of health-related risk factors and how to make the lifestyle changes necessary to reduce such risks. Health education, information and communications activities seek to influence people’s health-related knowledge and attitudes and to motivate and support the process of behaviour change.
The indicators presented in this report concern knowledge, attitudes, motivation and behaviour/health status among adults in relation to the following topics:
- attitudes towards own health
- physical activity
- diet
- smoking
- alcohol
- mental health
- sexual health (information needs).
