This is no. 2 in a series of background reports being prepared during 2002/03 to inform the revision of Sport 21, the national strategy for sport in Scotland.
In May 2002 sportscotland commissioned questions from the general public on their attitudes to the importance of sport in Scotland. The questions were included in the regular household Scottish Omnibus Survey by System Three and were asked of adults aged 16 and over. The sample was a reasonably representative cross-section of the adult Scottish population.
