Canberra population survey, September - October 1978

In this omnibus survey, topics investigated were dwelling and household characteristics; occurrence of disability in household members; employment history and conditions; life satisfaction; attitudes to and knowledge and personal experience of cancer; opinions on political leaders, the world economy, ACT self-government, and marijuana and its legalisation. Voting intentions in a federal election and the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs, including patent medicines, were also examined. The drug questions were asked using a randomised response technique. Background variables are age, sex, marital status, birthplace, and residence in Australia for the workforce data, and educational level and income for the individual data.
