Description:NHS Health Scotland commissioned BMRB Social Research to conduct a study of workplace smoking policies in Scotland in 2004 on behalf of the Scottish Executive. The study involved two stages: a quantitative survey, using telephone interviews, of those responsible for developing and implementing smoking policies in 1600 workplaces in Scotland; followed by qualitative research with managers and staff in 17 of the workplaces that had taken part in the survey. Fieldwork for the survey took place from 19th Jan to 30th April 2004; and the in-depth interviews were undertaken in June 2004.
