Tying up 2015

On By scotpublichealthIn Uncategorized2 Comments
Between 31 Dec 2015 and 2 Jan 2016 I ran a SurveyMonkey survey that took a broad look at Public Health issues in 2015. This was in preparation for the #ScotPublicHealth #PublicHealthHour on 6 Jan 2016 (12.30-1.30PM). Responses 1-11 were received between these two dates. I extended the survey after renewed interest. Responses 12-21 were received between 3 and 8 Jan 2016.

The aim was to gather information that would be of interest generally to healthcare professionals (and beyond).

Many thanks to everyone who completed this SurveyMonkey survey. Read full results and a summary below. Methods and further details are provided at the end of this post.
