This dataset includes SSS 2010/11, 2012/13, 2014/15, 2016/17, 2018/19, and 2020/21. This study is funded by the Food and Health Bureau, Hong Kong SAR. The reference number for each survey round is FHB/H/41/21/1, FHB/H/41/21/2, FHB/H/41/100, FHB/H/41/124, FHB/H/41/157 and FHB/H/41/176, respectively.

The data from each survey round are stored in CSV format, accompanied by detailed project reports and the original questionnaires used for data collection.
