Eurobarometer 57.2OVR: Youth Attitudes About Drugs, April-June 2002

This round of Eurobarometer surveys diverged from standard questions, instead focusing on youth attitudes toward drugs. During the fieldwork for Eurobarometer 57.2 (see Eurobarometer 57.2: Health Issues, Cross-Border Purchases, and National Identities, April-June 2002 [ICPSR 3543]), an oversample of young respondents, aged 15-24, was added to the basic sample, in order to obtain a total of at least 450 young respondents per country. An additional set of questions was administered to these young respondents eliciting responses on why people experiment with drugs, the main reasons why some people find it hard to stop using drugs, the consequences drug use may cause, the most effective ways of tackling drug-related problems, and the most dangerous drugs. They were also asked who they would turn to if they wanted to know more about drugs, whether it was easy to get drugs, whether people should be punished for using drugs, whether there should be drug testing at school or work, whether they had tried drugs or knew somebody who had, and whether they smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol. Demographic and other background information collected includes respondents' age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age at completion of education, household income, type and size of locality, and region of residence.

本轮欧洲晴雨表（Eurobarometer）调研脱离了标准问卷框架，转而聚焦青少年对毒品的态度。在欧洲晴雨表57.2的实地调研阶段（详见《欧洲晴雨表57.2：健康议题、跨境消费与国家认同，2002年4-6月 [ICPSR 3543]》），研究团队在基础样本中追加了15至24岁年轻受访者的过度抽样（oversample），以确保每个国家至少拥有450名年轻受访者。针对该年轻受访者群体，调研团队额外设置了一系列问题，用于收集以下维度的反馈：人们尝试吸毒的原因、部分人群难以戒断毒品的主要动因、吸毒可能引发的后果、应对涉毒问题的最有效路径，以及高危毒品类型。此外，受访者还被问及以下内容：若想深入了解毒品相关知识会向何人求助、获取毒品是否容易、吸食毒品者是否应受到处罚、学校或工作场所是否应开展毒品检测、自身是否尝试过毒品或认识有吸毒经历者，以及是否吸烟与饮酒。本次调研收集的人口统计学及其他背景信息包括：受访者年龄、性别、国籍、婚姻状况、左右派政治自我定位、职业、完成教育的年龄、家庭收入、居住地类型与规模，以及居住地区。
