Aim of the survey

The aim of this survey was to provide a baseline of the health and wellbeing of S1 to S4 pupils (aged 12-15) in Glasgow City Council schools. The study primarily focused on health behaviours, personal factors and wider social and environmental issues that influence the health, perceptions and wellbeing of young people in Glasgow.

The findings from the survey will be used to inform the work of individual schools and will also represent a baseline from which longer-term progress can be measured
