North Lincolnshire Adolescent Lifestyle Survey 2013
Adolescent Lifestyle Survey 2013/14
The 2013 Adolescent Lifestyle Survey (ALS) was the fourth time the survey has been undertaken. The full report of the survey can found on the North Lincolnshire Strategic Assessment website (http://nldo.northlincs.gov.uk/IAS_Live/sa/jsna/lifestage- reports/developing-well).
This report compares the findings between the five localities: Isle of Axholme Scunthorpe North Scunthorpe South Barton and Winterton Brigg and the Wolds
It needs to be noted that the comparison is based on the locality of the school that pupils attend, rather than the locality that they live in. A locality report is also available for the Primary School Lifestyle Survey (2013). (http://nldo.northlincs.gov.uk/IAS_Live/sa/jsna/lifestage-reports/developing-well).
