21. Results are taken from questions run on behalf of Scottish Government on the YouGov online omnibus survey.  The sample is demographically and geographically representative of adults 18+ across Scotland, with c.1000 responses each week. Fieldwork took place on 27-28 July with a total sample size of 980 adults (Note lower base this week due to delays in fieldwork). ‘Complete’ or ‘almost complete’ compliance refers to respondents who rated themselves 6 or 7 on a scale of 1-7 for the question: Thinking about ALL of the guidance on what to do and what not to do during the Coronavirus pandemic (including distancing, protection measures and all restrictions)...On a scale of 1-7, where 1 is 'Not at all' and 7 is 'Completely', to what extent do you feel you are following the regulations and guidance?

23. The difference between the Better and Worse scenarios: ‘Worse’ assumes a behaviour change over a two month period following the change in restrictions on the 19th July and the upcoming changes on the 9th August. ‘Better’ assumes this behavioural change happens more gradually over a five to six month period leading to lower transmission.

27. Source: YouGov online survey. Total sample size on 27-28 July  was 980 adults. Sample size for those who have not yet received their first vaccine was 41 adults. ‘Likely’ to be vaccinated refers to respondents who rated themselves 8 to 10 on a scale of 0-10 for the question: How likely or unlikely are you to be vaccinated for COVID-19 when a vaccine becomes available to you? (Please select a number between 0 and 10, where 0 means 'extremely unlikely' and 10 means 'extremely likely')
