SHEU & its work
Services for local communities
In our work, we aim to provide services that promote objective debate in communities about health and social issues. We mainly work with children, students and other young people, and look to foster co-operation between them and adults including professionals in education and health.
25 years of development
SHEU has gained an enviable reputation since 1977 when John Balding first developed the Schools Health Education Unit. Today, the Unit is part of SHEU which provides a range of survey, research and evaluation services to all those concerned with the health and social development of young people.
Building on over 25 years of experience, the company has an impressive client list, a unique databank and a range of products and services. These have developed to meet customers' need for survey, research and evaluation projects in the education and health sectors.
Services for organisations
SHEU has provided research, publications and survey services to many UK Health Authorities. Primary Care Trusts in England continue to evolve and are utilising our survey and evaluation services. Drug Action Teams have asked SHEU to provide services and we have also worked with regional Public Health Observatories.
Local Education Authorities in England and a growing number across Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland also use our services. The National Healthy School Scheme has encouraged schools across England to utilise SHEU's work and we maintain strong links with teachers in primary and secondary schools across the country.
6th Form and Further Education colleges are also finding out about new services for their Student Support teams. In the broader community, SHEU has been working with many partnerships up and down the country. Some of our recent clients have been brought together through the work of the Children's Fund Programme and our evaluation and survey services have been used to inform local communities about the health related behaviour of local children and young people. SHEU's client list includes county, city and borough councils across England and Scotland, and many voluntary and community-based organisations.
Unique databank
One of the features of SHEU's services is the unique databank of information about the health related behaviour of children, students and other young people. To date the databank holds information on over 626,000 pupils between 8 and 16 years of age that have taken part in health related behaviour surveys.
The anonymous, confidential data is used, for example, to make comparisons. Each new survey provides an opportunity for local communities to make comparisons, over time, to their previous data or data from other similar communities or our annual compilation. This means that local information is compared with figures from the same age groups that have answered the same questions. In some years this have involved information from over 48,000 children and young people.
New products and services
Teachers and lecturers in 6th Form and Further Education colleges have worked with us to develop new services for Student Support Teams. Through an exploration of their students' attitudes and lifestyle behaviours in relation to health, colleges can develop programmes to meet students' identified needs.
Our online survey services offer schools and colleges an exciting, interactive user-friendly format. A range of topics are on offer including 'keeping fit', 'drinking water', and 'watching TV'. The 'keeping fit' online survey offers schools immediate feedback to those using the instrument and can be used to support the work of other schools or groups interested in finding ways to gain an accurate picture of the levels of activity of the young people they are working with.
Once the 'activity' survey is complete, a detailed report on the results and a comparison with local or nation-wide aggregate data is returned in Microsoft Word format. The report is aimed at school teachers who are using the survey results to feed back into curriculum planning and classroom discussions. If you are interested in using Web-based health-related surveys with young people SHEU can provide a unique service to meet your needs.

Children’s Fund
Camden & Coram
Since the last newsletter, SHEU has worked with a number of Children's Fund Partnerships and we report here on the most recent with the Camden Children's Fund Partnership. We carried out a piece of consultation with children taking part in the Coram Primary Schools Project. Coram Family and the Partnership were pleased with the results and the summary report we prepared will be posted on the Coram website, www.coram.org.uk. We are currently producing a leaflet for them highlighting some of the key discussion points arising from the exercise such as drug and alcohol usage, healthy eating habits and children's worries. The leaflet will also have a list of sources of support and resources for teachers and other professionals. We are discussing with Coram family how we can assist them in their evaluation of the project. SHEU is also able to offer consultation and evaluation services to other community based organisations such as charities, youth services, drug prevention and treatment services and local councils seeking to become quality councils.
'Trends' is a new series of reports from SHEU (£10 inc. p&p) showing trends in young people's health related behaviour from 1983-2001. The reports are written using data derived from the Health Related Behaviour Questionnaire surveys and come from a sample of 299,543 young people between the ages of 12-13 and 14-15 from across the UK.
Three reports have so far been published and have been well received. Conversations with customers tell us they are making good use of the information to inform lesson and lecture plans, to support programme managers with their intervention projects and to provide baseline information for a broad range of uses in education, health and other sectors. For example the first report 'Young People's Food Choices: Attitudes to healthy eating and weight control 1983-2001' was welcomed by the catering industry and in particular those that provide services to young people. The above report, 40 printed A4 pages - comb bound, covers 13 topics including breakfast, lunch, healthy eating and weight control. One of the findings shows that since 1983 there is a clear upward trend of those not having schoolday lunch particularly for older (14-15 year old) females. Two more reports (smoking and alcohol) are also available. Visit 'Trends' for up-to-date information.
Time for Drug Education?
Readers of 'Education and Health' know about some of the work we have been doing around drug education, including the interesting finding confirming some government research that showed a link between young people's positive views of drug education and their abstaining from experimenting with illegal drugs (press release). As part of this work, we have been asking teachers what are the major constraints on their capacity to deliver drug education. At times our researchers have had to hold the phone away from their ears... You probably can guess the most common complaint: being short of time. Not especially timetable time, although more would surely be useful, but time was needed especially to plan, discuss with colleagues, review resources and reflect on the programmes. We had exactly the same thing when we did a survey of sex education programmes a few years ago. Now, that teachers are over-worked is no surprise, but the workload initiatives around the country have not stopped these teachers still finding it very hard to give this important area the time it deserves. We are very good at telling teachers what we want them to do well, but they surely need to be told some things they can let drop.

Schools Health Education Unit
The Unit has always been keen to develop the Health Related Behaviour Questionnaire (HRBQ). Those of you, who have surveyed with us over the years, will know that the HRBQ has a new version every year or so. This is in response to feedback from education and health professionals and to reflect the developments in young people's behaviour. Local versions are also prepared for clients in response to their particular needs and to reflect local and regional issues. Although the basic HRBQ topic areas are adhered to additional or slightly different questions are developed to ensure the survey instrument is responsive to local needs.In preparing a report about the main findings from the survey, the opportunities remain to make comparisons with historical and/or regional data as well as utilising our annual compilation of data from across the country. Visit the Unit's web pages to discover more about these services and contact Angela Balding Tel.01392 667272.
Education and Health
"Last night I read the journal, as it was better than watching TV, and I thoroughly enjoyed it" said an 'E&H' subscriber recently. So far, this year, there have been three issues of 'E&H' and each has offered a rich and diverse source of information to subscribers. We are also aware that many non-subscribers read the journal as we are often contacted by individuals and organisations regarding published articles.
A unique journal
'E&H' is published four times a year and aimed at those interested in young people's healthy development. The focus is on providing articles on relevant research finds, health-related behaviour data, information to support teachers and professionals involved with the education and health of young people. The individual annual subscription for 2004 will be £18. Those wishing to purchase more for bulk distribution in their authority will find that the cost of each issue could be as little as 40p (incl. p&p), details from 01392 667272
In recent issues
Articles published in recent issues have included
'Love and Trust: making space for feelings in sex education' 2003, 21(2);

Young People in 2002
Out now
We are pleased to announce the publication of the latest report in the 'Young People in …' series. This, the 17th annual report, continues to maintain the high standard of information and presentation associated with SHEU publications. 'Young People in 2002' is a unique contemporary archive of young people. It reports the answers to over 100 health related behaviour questions given by 37,150 young people, between the ages of 10 and 15. They tell us about what they do at home, at school, and with their friends. The data has been collected from primary and secondary schools across the United Kingdom. This valuable reference resource is available from SHEU (£45 incl.p&p).
Reliable source of information
The BBC has said that "SHEU has gained a reputation as one of the most reliable sources of information about young people's health". The 'Young People in..' series is a fine example of this "reliable source of information". Widely reported in the media, the annual report continues to be used by many, referenced to in both Houses of Parliament and by industry (Kelloggs have said, "..the Unit provides exceptional information across time and throughout the country").
Press release
In keeping with previous years we issue a press release that contains some of the information from the report.
'Young People in 2002' covers many topics including: Food Choices & Weight Control, Health & Safety, Family & Home, Drugs, Money, Exercise and Social.
Contact SHEU (Tel.01392 667272) to order your copy.
Online Huff & Puff
Web based survey
Last autumn, a total of 49 primary schools in Devon used SHEU's online activity questionnaire in order to provide the schools with baseline data concerning the activity levels of their pupils. A number of schools also repeated the questionnaire in the summer term and the remainder are to repeat the survey exactly a year on from the first exercise.
Huff & Puff
The survey is used by the Huff & Puff scheme which is part of the Devon School Sport Coordinator programme designed to increase activity levels within primary schools. Some of the initial results are interesting and may not be due to seasonal differences.
Enjoyment of PE/Games
In the autumn sample, from a list of activities in question 6, 39% chose the I enjoy everything option. This figure has risen to 48% in the summer sample and represents a statistically significant increase in the data. In question 7 - 'What do you enjoy least about PE/Games in school?' - 23% chose the I enjoy everything option. This figure has risen to 28% in the summer. This could perhaps be a seasonal difference, but looking at the rest of the options chosen, the data does suggest that generally pupils are significantly more likely to say that they enjoy everything rather that just select one aspect of PE/Games as their favourite.
Girls Football
There are a number of activities that show a significant increase for the summer sample e.g. walking; bike riding; running for exercise; swimming for fun; badminton; tennis; and cricket. Football shows a slight increase in the boys figures but a marked increase for the girls. Why are more girls playing football? Further analysis is needed from the repeated surveys later this autumn, but these are promising results for the programme. Other interesting changes include: an increase in the proportions that say their school teaches them a lot about the importance of physical activity and healthy eating; youngsters access to water is also markedly increased. Have a look at the complete SSCO report .
DATA
Collection & Analysis
SHEU have decades of experience of collecting quantitative data and composing questionnaires for a range of client groups via paper-based methods. We are also experienced in using detailed online questionnaires.
Data entry
Our experienced data-entry staff are flexible and efficient and have a very high reliability for punching data onto computer files. We can double-enter (verify) all figures if extra accuracy is required, and use a variety of custom software to check the integrity and accuracy of entered data.
Reporting and analysis
We use a variety of statistical software and produce basic descriptions, complex statistical tests and clear summary reports from your survey data.
We commission very cost-effective printing of any reports that you need to circulate or provide electronic versions. Our team is adaptable and flexible to take account of your particular needs.
Contact Dr David Regis for details.
International
Surveys of young people
The Schools Health Education Unit has worked with International schools in the past to provide baseline data that supports programme planning. New developments will see the Unit providing customised survey instruments (both paper and electronic) that respond to the International school environment and maintain the themes of the Health Related Behaviour Questionnaire. This ensures that comparative data can be drawn from the data bank to match ages and gender as well as building the data bank on International pupils' responses.
For more details contact Dr David Regis (Tel +44 1392 667272).
