As in 2002 and 2004, the overall aims of the survey were to examine the views and experiences of a representative sample of the adult Scottish population (reflecting age, gender, income, location, race and ethnic diversity) in relation to a spectrum of mental health-related issues; and to compare findings with other relevant survey data. The survey was conducted among a random sample of 1,216 Scottish adults between 16 October 2006 and 21 January 2007. All interviews were conducted face-to-face in respondents’ homes. The survey aimed to Investigate people’s perceptions of their own general health, explore their understanding of the concepts of mental health and wellbeing, and their assessment of factors affecting their own mental health, investigate people’s direct experience of mental health problems and their sources of information, explore people’s awareness and understanding of promotional activity associated with mental health improvement work through the National Programme’s main initiatives, explore people’s attitudes to mental health problems and to those who experience specific symptoms of mental ill health, compare findings with the 2002 and 2004 surveys and, as far as data are comparable, with findings from similar surveys carried out in Scotland, in other parts of the UK and internationally.
