Global Alliance.
The 2018 Scottish report card has been compared to report cards from 48 countries in an International Active Healthy Kids Report Card, known as the Global Matrix 3.0 (www.activehealthykids.org), the academic papers can be found here and here.
An academic publication on the Scottish grades included in the Global Matrix 3.0 is available here.
Please note: the grades for the 2018 Active Healthy Kids Scotland Report Card (summarised in the list, 2018 Flyer and 2018 Report Card above) differ slightly from the Scottish grades included in the Global Matrix 3.0 because the 2018 Scotland Report Card includes a) data for children under 5 years old (the age range for the Global Matrix 3.0 was 5-17 years) and b) additional indicators (diet and obesity).
