description: The Eurobarometer series is a unique cross-national and cross-temporal survey program conducted on behalf of the European Commission. These surveys regularly monitor public opinion in the European Union (EU) member countries and consist of standard modules and special topic modules. The standard modules address attitudes towards European unification, institutions and policies, measurements for general socio-political orientations, as well as respondent and household demographics. The special topic modules address such topics as agriculture, education, natural environment and resources, public health, public safety and crime, and science and technology. Eurobarometer 86.3 covered the following special topics: (1) Nationality, (2) Humanitarian Aid, (3) Civil Protection, (4) EU Citizens' Views on Development Cooperation and Aid, and (5) Chemical Safety.
Respondents were questioned about their awareness of EU funding of humanitarian aid activities. Their opinions regarding the importance of funding humanitarian aid activities, how to do so most efficiently, and support for sending humanitarian aid volunteers and funds to other parts of the world were also collected. Other questions included topics regarding respondents' awareness of, attitudes towards and personal involvement in aiding people in developing countries. Respondents were also questioned regarding their awareness of and attitudes towards civil protection and disaster preparedness.  Several questions were asked regarding awareness of, understanding of, behaviors towards, safety of, regulation of and concerns about exposure to hazardous chemicals in household products and other consumer goods. Country-specific data includes type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview (select countries), life satisfaction, political discussion frequency, hazardous chemicals and opinions on whether their voice counts in their country/EU.
Demographic and other background information collected includes left or right self-placement on political scale, age, gender, nationality, marital status, occupation, age when stopped full-time education, household composition, ownership of a fixed or mobile telephone and other goods, difficulties in paying bills, level in society, and internet use.

description: The basic sample design applied in all states was a multi-stage, random (probability) one. In each country, a number of sampling points was drawn with the probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. In order to do so, the sampling points were drawn systematically from each of the "administrative regional units", after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the countries surveyed according to the EUROSTAT NUTS II (or equivalent) and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In the next stage, a cluster of starting addresses was selected from each sampled PSU, at random. Further addresses were chosen systematically using standard random route procedures as every Nth address from the initial address. In each household, a respondent was drawn, at random, following the closest birthday rule. No more than one interview was conducted in each household. Please refer to the Technical Specifications section within the Questionnaire, as well as ZACAT, for additional sampling information.
