Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?

This is percentage of 15 year olds who responded to Q3, Q4, Q5 and Q6, with the total sum of portions 5 or more, in the What About YOUth (WAY) survey.

  • (Q3 Thinking just about YESTERDAY can you tell me how many portions of beans or pulses (baked beans, haricot beans, kidney beans, cannellini beans, butter beans, lentils or chickpeas) you ate?

  • Q4 Thinking just about YESTERDAY can you tell me how many portions of vegetables including salad, fresh, frozen or tinned vegetables you ate?

  • Q5 Thinking just about YESTERDAY can you tell me how many portions of fruit juice (pure juice / 100% freshly squeezed / fruit smoothies / juice from concentrate BUT NOT juice based drinks such as squash) you had?

  • Q6 Thinking just about YESTERDAY can you tell me how many portions of fruit - fresh, frozen, tinned or dried you ate?


Both the numerator and the denominator are weighted to make them applicable to the population as a whole.

This is a newly established survey to collect robust local authority (LA) level data on a range of health behaviours amongst 15 year olds. The sample size is significant and the majority of LAs achieved a +/- 3 percentage point margin of error at the 95% confidence interval.

Data on fruit and vegetable consumption is also collected by the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) and Health Survey England (HSE). The benefit of WAY is that it provides a breakdown at a Local Authority level as such estimates are not available elsewhere. WAY enables robust comparisons to be made between LAs and against the national position, which is the main purpose of the PHOF.
