Healthy Respect was one of four projects outlined in the Government's White Paper 'Towards a Healthier Scotland'.

The project was set up to look at ways of supporting young people to make positive choices about their sexual health and well-being.

Phase 1 evaluation

This initial phase (2001 - 2004) was evaluated by the University of Aberdeen and the final summary report on phase one (external link) is available to view and download from the Scottish Executive website.

Following an interim year for planning (2004), a further three years funding was provided, taking the work up to March 2008 (known as Phase 2).

During this phase and after 2008, appropriate elements of work and practice will be made available for integration both locally and nationally.

Phase 2 evaluation

Phase 2 is being evaluated by a consortium of researchers:

• The Centre for Integrated Health Care Research at Napier University.
• Scottish Centre for Social Research.
• Dundee University.
• MRC Social and Public Health Sciences Unit.

Reflecting the design of the Healthy Respect 2 programme, the research is divided into four parts:

• Assessing the effectiveness of Healthy Respect in achieving integrated and sustainable local delivery.
• Assessing young people’s and parents experiences of Healthy Respect 2.
• Assessing the effectiveness of Healthy Respect 2 on young people.
• Linked studies to assess the long-term outcomes.

The interim report, due winter 2007, will outline the learning and early findings from the the evaluation. The report will be published on this website when it is available.
