Sisällön kuvaus

The 2014 Alcohol and Drug Survey studied the substance use of Finnish adult population as well as attitudes and opinions on drugs and drug policies.

The respondents were first asked about smoking and snus use. Alcohol use was charted by asking the respondents how often they drank and how much they tended to drink. The survey also carried a set of attitudinal statements about the health risks of different substances. The respondents were also asked if certain actions, such as polydrug use or growing cannabis plants, should be punishable by law.

Regarding cannabis, the respondents were asked whether it should be legal to buy cannabis, and if it were legal, where it should be sold. The respondents' cannabis use was charted by asking them if they had used cannabis in the previous 12 months, and whether their cannabis use was recreational or medical. Ways of obtaining and using cannabis were investigated. The respondents were also asked if they knew people who grew cannabis or if they had grown cannabis themselves.

The respondents were asked which illegal drugs they would try if using them was not illegal, and whether they personally knew people who used illegal drugs. They were also asked if someone had offered them illegal drugs, and how easily they thought they could obtain drugs within 24 hours. Concerning the respondents' own drug use, they were asked if they had ever used any of the various drugs listed, such as cocaine or LSD. The respondents recent drug use was charted by asking which illegal drugs they had used during last 12 months and the last 30 days. Furthermore, the respondents were asked if drug use had ever caused difficulties in different areas of their life.

One set of questions surveyed which legal drugs, if any, the respondents had used for non-medical purposes. Reasons for non-medical use of legal drugs were investigated. The respondents were also asked where they had obtained the drugs. Use of nitrous oxide and glues was examined. Polydrug use was investigated by asking the respondents which combinations of drugs they had used and what their reasons for using them were. Use of performance-enhancing drugs in sports (doping) was surveyed.

Opinions on drug use were probed with several statements, such as "Use of marijuana and hashish should be legal". The respondents were also asked if they feared that other people's drug use could cause them physical harm, and whether they considered drugs or alcohol to be the bigger social problem in Finland. The respondents' health was charted by asking them if they had been prescribed different medicines, such as anti-depressants or opiates. The respondents were also asked if they attributed any health problems to their alcohol or drug use. Finally, the respondents were asked how often they engaged in physical activities.

The background variables included the respondent's gender, age, type of municipality, marital status, household composition, education, and economic activity and occupational status.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The following variables were removed from the data: [answered], [age distribution], and [age].

Painokertoimet

The data contain two weight variables, wcalr and w_analyysi. The weights were created by using a calibration method. In the beginning, the sample was divided into two areas, the HSY water service area and the area outside the scope of HSY water services. In these main strata, the weights were separately estimated. A combination of four age categories and gender (4 age groups: 15-24, 25-39, 40-54, and 55-69), as well as the respondent's educational level (5 categories, educational levels 7 and 8 combined) was used to weight the HSY area. Outside the HSY area, statistical grouping of municipalities (3 categories) was additionally used. The weight expanding the sample to the population is called wcalr, and the analysis weight is called w_analyysi. Their functions are identical, but the latter was scaled to sum to the sample total (i.e. the mean=1 and the sum equals the number of observations).
