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.
