Abstract:

The Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey (SALSUS) is the primary source of data on substance use behaviour among young people in Scotland. Following a major revamp, the 2015 publication received the Royal Statistical Society's Best Statistical Release 'runner up' award. Come along and see how the publication was redesigned, illustrated using some of the 2013 survey's key findings.

Many thanks,
