SHeS provides a detailed, repeatable picture of the health of people living in private households in Scotland—estimating the prevalence of conditions (especially cardiovascular disease), measuring key risk factors and health‑related behaviours, monitoring trends over time, and enabling comparisons across regions and population subgroups to inform policy and targets. After one‑off surveys in 1995, 1998 and 2003, SHeS has run annually since 2008
