Euro-Barometer 32: The Single European Market, Drugs, Alcohol, and Cancer, November 1989 (ICPSR 9519)
Released/updated on: 1996-12-10
Geographic coverage: United Kingdom, Portugal, Global, Spain, Greece, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Denmark, Italy, France, Germany
Time period: 1989-10-12--1989-11-22
This round of Euro-Barometer surveys had for its major focus
issues involving drugs, alcohol, cancer, and the single European
market. Respondents were asked to consider the influence of the
environment, the anticipated effects of the Single Market of 1992, and
the repercussions of an aging population on public health. Moreover,
respondents were asked to identify and prioritize the most serious
health problems facing the European Community, and also to evaluate the
various efforts being made to combat these problems. Health topics
addressed included drugs and drug addiction, cancer, smoking,
alcoholism, AIDS, cardiovascular disease, education, diet, and
vaccinations. Other major questions involved additional effects of the
Single European Market of 1992, and whether certain issues of public
policy should be decided by national governments or jointly within the
European Community. Also, the survey gauged respondents' perceptions of
the European Parliament and the Commission of the European Communities,
along with categorizing opinions on the Soviet Union and President
Gorbachev, the United States and President Bush, the role and relevance
of NATO, U.S. military presence in Western Europe, and the possibility
of economic cooperation with Poland and Hungary. Respondents were also
asked to give examples of why they felt the United Nations was doing
either a good or a poor job in solving the problems it had to face, to
name various agencies and institutions that were part of the United
Nations, and to identify the Secretary General of the United Nations.
Respondents were queried regarding their source of information and
education on the United Nations, and were asked to indicate their level
of interest in receiving more information on pertinent United Nations
issues. As in previous Euro-Barometers, questions on political party
preference asked respondents which party they felt the closest to, how
they voted in their country's last general election, how they would
vote if a general election were held tomorrow, and, if not sure, which
party they would be most inclined to vote for. Respondents were also
asked to comment on the ideal number of children a family should have,
factors influencing the number of children parents decide to have, the
role of the family in society, and what government can do to improve
life for families. Other items included life satisfaction, use of and
attitudes toward dairy products, interest in politics, priority of
national goals, political party membership, and union membership.
Additional information was gathered on family income, number of people
residing in the home, size of locality, region of residence, occupation
of the head of household, and the respondent's age, sex, occupation,
education, religion, religiosity, subjective social class standing,
socio-professional status, and left-right political self-placement.

Geographic coverage: Europe, United Kingdom, Portugal, Global, Spain, Greece, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Denmark, Italy, France, Germany
Time period: 1990-10-16--1990-11-27
This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on standard Euro-Barometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, what their country's goals should be for the next ten or fifteen years, and how they viewed the need for societal change. The surveys also focused on health problems. Questions about smoking examined whether the respondent had heard of the European Code Against Cancer and whether the respondent smoked. Smokers were asked what tobacco products they used, how many cigarettes they smoked in a day, and whether they planned to cut down on their tobacco consumption. Queries focusing on other health issues included respondents' subjective ratings of their health and diet, the basis for their foodstuff selections, the extent and impact of alcohol consumption on their driving, the extent of the problem of drinking and driving, how the problem of drinking and driving would be best addressed, and respondents' own use of alcohol. Opinions on alcohol and drug abuse were elicited through questions such as what type of problem the respondent considered alcohol and drug use to be, whether current measures were enough to solve abuse, what measures should be taken to solve the problems, the respondent's knowledge of drugs and the use of drugs, drug use among acquaintances, and how drug testing should be implemented. AIDS-related items focused on how the respondent thought AIDS could be contracted and which manner of transmission the respondent most feared, which interventions should be used to eliminate or to slow the spread of AIDS, which interventions should be undertaken by the European Community, how best to handle those who had AIDS or were HIV-positive, whether the respondent personally knew anyone with AIDS/HIV+, how the emergence and spread of AIDS had changed the respondent's personal habits, and what precautions were effective against contracting AIDS. Questions concerning the respondent's work history asked whether there had been periods without work lasting more than a year. A series of items focused on the longest period without pay: how long the period was, the age of the respondent during this period, the main reason for leaving the previous job, what the previous occupation was and whether it was part-time, what the new occupation was and whether it was part-time, and how the level of the new occupation compared to the previous occupation. The interaction of raising children and pursuing a career was investigated through questions including how many children the respondent had, what effect changes in family life had on working life, whether the respondent worked full- or part-time while raising children, and whether the respondent would prefer to care for children full-time, care for children part-time and work part-time, or work full-time. A series of questions pertained to the period prior to the respondent's first three children attending school: whether the respondent worked during this period, what the respondent's occupation was, the attributes of the occupation that concerned the family, the attributes of the partner's occupation that concerned the family, who the primary caregivers were, whether the partner was the primary caregiver, and whether there were difficulties making last-minute arrangements for child care. Additional information was gathered on family income, number of people residing in the home, size of locality, home ownership, region of residence, occupation of the head of household, and the respondent's age, sex, occupation, education, religion, religiosity, subjective social class standing, political party and union membership, and left-right political self-placement.

This round of Euro-Barometer surveys queried respondents on standard Euro-Barometer measures such as public awareness of and attitudes toward the Common Market and the European Union (EU), and focused on perceptions about and factors affecting blood and plasma donation. Questions solicited opinions about the way blood and plasma are collected and handled, reasons for donating, understanding of the differences between blood and plasma, the necessity of rewards for donating, and sources of information about blood or plasma donation. Respondents were also surveyed about their perceptions of product quality based on country of manufacture, cross-border purchases and customs experiences, a single European currency, women's opinions on EU matters, tobacco smoking habits, AIDS risks, and perceived cancer risks of food products.

HIV Stigma in a Population of Adults Age 50 and Over in the Pacific Northwest, 2003-2005 (ICPSR 33242)
Released/updated on: 2013-03-29
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2003-01-01--2005-01-01
Older adults are increasingly becoming impacted by HIV disease, both as newly infected individuals and as long-term survivors of HIV/AIDS living into older age. HIV-related stigma impacts the quality of life of all persons with HIV/AIDS. However, little is known about HIV-related stigma in older adults because many studies do not include older subjects or ignore age as a variable. This mixed methods study examined the experiences of HIV-related stigma in a sample of 25 older adults with HIV/AIDS from the Pacific Northwest. Quantitative methods measured HIV stigma and depression, while in-depth qualitative interviews captured the lived experiences of these individuals. Stigma was positively and significantly correlated with depression and stigma was found to be significantly higher in African American, as compared to White informants. Qualitative interviews yielded 11 themes that correspond to the four categories constructed in the stigma instrument. Rejection, disclosure concerns, stereotyping, protective silence and feeling "other", were all common experiences of these individuals.
