Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Trent Health Lifestyle Survey was carried out among those aged 11-16 years (Young People) and 16-70 years (Adult) in 1992 and 1994 across the Trent region, UK. The surveys aim to provide baseline data about health related behaviours, beliefs and attitudes at regional, district and (in the Young People's survey) school level; to enable change in these factors to be monitored over time; and to provide information of use in establishing priorities for health promotion activities at regional, district, locality and (in the Young People's survey) school level.
