Mental health: data introduction
A detailed report on Scotland's mental health and its context: adults 2009 was published in February 2009. The report analyses 54 indicators from the national adult mental health indicator set, covering both the state of mental health and its associate contextual factors. Where possible, it also provides an analysis of time trends over the last decade and equalities analysis by age, gender and either area-based deprivation or individual socio-economic status.
A programme of work has now begun to establish children and young people's mental health indicators. More information is available at the NHS Health Scotland children and young people's mental health indicator web page.
Please note: If you require the most up-to-date data available, please check the data sources directly as new data may have been published since these data pages were last updated. Although we endeavour to ensure that the data pages are kept up-to-date, there may be a time lag between new data being published and the relevant ScotPHO web pages being updated.
