Abstract

Scotland experiences some of the largest health inequalities in Western Europe, and public understandings of health inequalities are an important part of the evidence base when designing new policies, strategies, or programmes to tackle these inequalities. With this in mind, SHERU funded 11 questions in the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, to get a sense of how people in Scotland understand health inequalities, what they think about the social and structural conditions that shape health, and what they believe should be done to address these issues.
