Health inequalities: key data sources

Inequalities can be shown for all the different health topics presented on this website. For examples, please refer to the various 'data' pages of the topic of interest.

Note also that the ScotPHO profiles can be used to examine differences in a large number of health and wellbeing related indicators for small areas (principally intermediate zones) across Scotland.

The Scottish Government publishes regular reports on the Long-Term Monitoring of Health Inequalities. The most recent report is from 2023 (showing 2021 data). The 2024 report is not planned. Details for the 2025 update are not yet available.

The Scottish Government also has a 'Equality Evidence Finder' website
