<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>This dataset combines survey data about gambling behaviour from the Health Survey for England 2012 and the Scottish Health Survey 2012. These are both nationally representative household surveys. In 2012, questions about gambling were included for those aged 16 and over in each study for the first time. The same questions about past year gambling behaviour and screening instruments to identify problem gamblers were used in both studies. To boost sample sizes for analysis, the data have been combined and reweighted to be reflective of the general population living in England and Scotland. All variables which are comparable between the two surveys have also been included in this dataset.<br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br>Gambling behaviour in England and Scotland.
