European Survey About Teachers and Cancer Prevention, 1989

This survey, conducted in January and February of 1989, examined teachers' opinions on health and cancer education in schools of 12 member countries of the European Community (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain). A total of 2,750 teachers (approximately 240 from each country and 66 only from Luxembourg), of which roughly a third were primary school teachers and two thirds were secondary teachers, were interviewed face-to-face by professional interviewers during January-February 1989. Those interviewed were asked whether they discussed health matters, especially cancer, drugs, and AIDS, and if so with whom. The survey also collected information on respondents' views about causes of cancer and prevention methods they taught at school. Some questions focused on organizing health education in schools: who was responsible for health education in schools, the role of teachers versus doctors and parents regarding health education, and smoking rules for teachers and pupils. Another subject of study was the European code against cancer. Respondents were asked how familiar they were with the code, how well-known it was, how well accepted it was, and how they viewed its effectiveness. Respondents also expressed their opinions regarding whether the European Community or its members had the right to deal with cancer prevention. Also investigated were respondents' interest in different health programs, opinions about the best educational materials, and how well informed they were about health and cancer prevention. Background information includes respondents' age, gender, subject taught, years of teaching, type of school they taught in, and number of classes and pupils they had, as well as general information about their schools.

本项调查于1989年1月至2月间进行，旨在探究欧洲共同体（包括比利时、丹麦、法国、德国、希腊、大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国、爱尔兰、意大利、卢森堡、荷兰、葡萄牙和西班牙）12个成员国学校教师的健康与癌症教育观念。共计2,750名教师（每国约240名，卢森堡仅66名）参与了此次调查，其中约三分之一为小学教师，三分之二为中学教师。这些教师于1989年1月至2月期间由专业访谈员进行面对面访谈。访谈内容涉及受访者是否讨论了健康问题，尤其是癌症、药物和艾滋病，以及讨论的对象是谁。调查还收集了受访者对于癌症成因和在学校教授的预防方法的看法。部分问题聚焦于学校健康教育的组织：学校健康教育的责任归属、教师在健康教育中与医生及家长的角色对比，以及教师和学生的吸烟规定。研究内容还包括欧洲反癌症准则。受访者被问及他们对该准则的熟悉程度、其知名度、接受度以及他们对该准则有效性的看法。受访者还就欧洲共同体或其成员国是否有权处理癌症预防问题发表了意见。此外，调查还探究了受访者对不同健康项目的兴趣、对最佳教育材料的看法，以及他们对健康和癌症预防的了解程度。背景信息包括受访者的年龄、性别、教授科目、教龄、任教学校类型、班级数量和学生人数，以及关于其学校的一般信息。
