Young people are being invited to take part in an online surveyto help shape health policy for their age group in the North-east.
The Grampian Youth Lifestyle survey has been undertaken insecondary schools throughout Grampian every three years from 1992 to2001.
It includes questions on areas such as diet, activity, alcohol,smoking, relationships, sexual health and drugs.
Now, after a six-year gap, researchers at NHS Grampian andAberdeen University are carrying out the survey again in schools butalso targeting 18 to 25-year-olds.
Director of public health Dr Lesley Wilkie said: "The informationfrom this survey and from previous surveys allows us to keep intouch with the health needs and behaviour of young people inGrampian.
"By returning our questionnaires, they will be helping shapefuture health promotion services in the area."
