Young People & Children's Health & Lifestyle Survey

Lodeseeker™ is being used as the tool for an online Young People's Health & Lifestyle Survey, commissioned by Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust and Local Education Authority in 2006.

It is important that the Survey is bright and bold, able to keep the interest of the young people who fill in the Survey during their I.T. sessions - hence the frogs!

The survey is to be run every 2 years, to allow analysis of results and preparation of actions following on from the analyses.

This type of survey is likely to be carried out by all local authorities in the U.K. If you are interested in what we have done for Gloucestershire, please contact us and we will be very happy to discuss. We can also let you know who to contact at the LEA for further information and references.

Already we have addressed conferences and produced posters in collaboration with Gloucestershire PCT and LEA:
