Mikrocensus 1997, 4. quarter: Sports, Leisure Time, Domestic Accidents, and Smoking Habits

The consultants of the health and social statistics recommended the December 1997 survey to be on the topic of accidents during sportive activities, recreational time or in the household and smoking habits. These topics had already been part of several Mikrozensus survey, in the years 1970, 1980 and 1989 on accidents and in the years 1972, 1979 and 1986 on smoking habits. There had also been a questions on smoking habits in the special program “questions on health” from December 1991. The social- and health care system is very interested in accident-statistical data since these statistics are neither conducted regularly nor comprehensively (in contrast to traffic- and occupational accidents). However, the number of these accidents surpasses all others. Relevant data on accidents is only provided by the Mikrozensus. The evaluation of the smoking habits should on the one hand show the development of the Austrian population’s smoking habits over the years and on the other hand show the efficacy of the educational work (anti-smoking-campaigns) and other preventive measures against tobacco-related diseases (cancer, heart attack, vascular diseases, etc. )

卫生与社会统计领域顾问建议，将1997年12月的调查主题定为体育运动、休闲时段或居家活动中的意外伤害，以及吸烟习惯。此前该主题已多次纳入微型人口普查（Mikrozensus）：1970年、1980年及1989年的调查围绕意外伤害展开，1972年、1979年及1986年的调查则聚焦吸烟习惯。1991年12月推出的“健康问题（questions on health）”专项调查中，同样设置了吸烟习惯相关问题。社会与医疗保健体系对这类事故统计数据极为关注：与交通事故和职业事故不同，此类意外伤害的统计工作既缺乏规范流程也未实现全面覆盖，但此类事故的发生规模远超其他所有事故类型，且相关统计数据仅能通过微型人口普查（Mikrozensus）获取。本次调查中针对吸烟习惯的评估工作，一方面将呈现奥地利民众吸烟习惯的历年发展变化，另一方面将验证控烟宣传教育活动及其他针对烟草相关疾病（癌症、心脏病、血管疾病等）的预防措施的实施成效。
