Active Healthy Kids Wales - Call for Wales Data
100%
Description
Dear Understanding Society members,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Active Healthy Kids Wales report card expert group http://www.activehealthykidswales.com/.
As the AHK-Wales expert group of academics, educators and allied professionals we are concerned about the health of children in Wales. The AHK-Wales expert group aims to use data on physical activity/inactivity behaviours and influences to advocate for children’s right to play, to be hooked on sport and dance, learn and achieve, and be active and healthy. We are motivated to promote healthy active behaviour and physical literacy in children. Our mission is to produce AHK-Wales Report Cards that provide a clear evidence base on quality indicators related to physical activity that should be used to advocate and influence local, regional and national policies and investments in physical activity for children and young people.
We are currently in the process of assigning grades to the following indicators:
Physical Activity and health behaviours and their outcomes
- Sedentary Behaviour
- Physical Activity
- Active Transport
- Organised Sport Participation
- Physical Literacy
- Physical Fitness
Settings and Influences on Physical Activity and Health
- Family and Peer Influence
- School
- Community and the Built Environment
- National Policies and Strategies
I can see that on your website, all data is reported for UK children on the whole, but I am wondering whether you have data specific to children/adults in Wales? Further, if so, is there any way that we could have access to the Welsh data?
Yours sincerely,
Richard

Dear Richard,
The data includes respondents from all four countries of the UK, and you can use the variable w_country to find out which one a respondent lives in: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/wave/1/datafile/a_indall/variable/a_country
You can select just respondents from Wales using this variable and do your analysis based on those people.
Please see here for information on accessing the data: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/access-data
Best wishes,
