The Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey (SALSUS) 2015.

Descriptions

The Scottish Government requires a contractor to undertake the 2015 instance of the recurring Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey (SALSUS). The survey samples Scottish secondary school pupils and collects data on aspects of health and lifestyle including smoking, drinking and drug use. The survey must maintain the established time series, in order to monitor national trends and provide contextual information to areas of policy, and must take place in Autumn 2015.The requirement includes all aspects of the 2015 survey including survey content, sampling strategy, fieldwork, analysis and reporting. In addition to the administration of the paper-based survey, the contractor will undertake, during 2014, a scoping study into the feasibility of using an electronic version of the questionnaire. The outcome of the scoping study may lead to (as an optional element of the requirement) the development and piloting of an electronic questionnaire. The outcome of this pilot may in turn lead to (as a second optional element of the requirement) the use of an electronic version of the questionnaire (alongside the paper-based questionnaire) in the full 2015 survey.Note: The authority is using PCS-Tender to carry out this procurement process.
