Abstract
In November 1994, a 1 in 10 sample of all comprehensive school children in compulsory school years S1 to S4 (age 12 to 15) in Dundee was surveyed (n = 758). The five schools participating in this research were selected in consultation with the local education authority as being broadly representative of Dundee's demography. Two mixed ability classes were randomly chosen from each school year, and the researchers administered the questionnaire under examination conditions, with the teacher absent. All of the schoolchildren present on the day of the researchers' visit completed the questionnaire, although no information is available on absentees. Informed consent was obtained from the young people, parents, and teachers. Using the Carstairs and Morris DEPCAT system for 1991 census statistics,2 we categorised 51.4% of the young people as living within a deprived area.
