title: Random breath test surveys, New South Wales, 1983

description: This study was undertaken in order to document perceptions of the legal threat associated with random breath testing (RBT) and to compare changes in drinking and driving behaviour patterns over time as a result of RBT. Two surveys were conducted, two months apart, the first of which occurred ten weeks after the introduction of RBT in New South Wales. From these two surveys various combinations of respondents were grouped to produce six data files. Both surveys contained the following variables: knowledge of RBT and other government methods used against drink- driving; whether respondent has been tested, or a passenger while driver tested; other exposure to RBT (indirect); perception of likelihood of being tested; respondent's drink-driving behaviour; behaviour changes since RBT was introduced; knowledge of drink-driving penalties; and general opinion of RBT. The second survey contained further variables: reasons not to drink and drive; knowledge of legal blood alcohol limit; if respondent has been convicted for drink-driving; difficulty of drinking less among friends; perception of likelihood of arrest and conviction; personal reaction to punishment if guilty; and personal importance of using a vehicle. Descriptive variables were driving status; age; sex; education; occupation; and drinking quantities and behaviour. The second survey also assessed the number of household members 18 years and over, and respondent's location in N.S.W. (All respondents in the first survey were from Sydney).

title: Health and outlook of older Australians, 1984

description: The aim of this survey was to explore both the attitudes towards the aged in the Australian community generally, and the specific opinions and response of the aged population themselves towards their lifestyle and problems. There are three data sets for this survey: an attitudinal survey of a sample of the general population; a survey of people aged 55 years and over in private dwellings; and a smaller survey of older people living in nursing homes and hostels for the aged. The survey of the general population included questions on impressions of a series of statements made about the personal characteristics of older people; responses to a number of different attitudinal statements concerning older people and the community; and questions on frequency of contact with older people. The surveys of older people, both in private dwellings and nursing homes, were conducted in two stages. Stage one involved a personal interview in which respondents were asked for demographic information such as age group, marital status, occupation, current work status, time to or since retirement of self and spouse, birthplace, income sources, living arrangements and caring responsibilities. Other questions covered opinions on retirement, fears and concerns about growing older, feelings about general community attitudes towards the aged, information sources, health problems and available sources of help or advice. Stage two involved the mailing of a pamphlet to the respondent listing activities and programs which the respondent may currently be involved in, or be interested in. Respondents were reinterviewed by phone a week after receipt of the pamphlet, to gain detailed information on each of the activities and programs.

title: Evaluation of the Peer Support Program (Student Drug Prevention) 1986-1987

description: The Peer Support program is a school based program funded by the National Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) as a drug prevention strategy. Prior to the existence of the NCADA the program was funded through the NSW Drug and Alcohol Authority. This evaluation was conducted with the aim of addressing the questions: is the program an effective drug prevention strategy; what factors contribute to its success or failure? The study included a pre-test and post-test survey of students in Year 7 and Year 10/11 with experimental and control groups drawn from schools who did and did not participate in a Peer Support program. This file (au.edu.anu.ada.ddi.00574-a07) contains the data from Year 7 students pre test; the Year 7 post test (au.edu.anu.ada.ddi.00574-p07); Year 10 Pre-test (au.edu.anu.ada.ddi.00574-a10); and Year 11 Post test (au.edu.anu.ada.ddi.00574-p11). The study covers drug use behaviours, drug attitudes, drug use intentions, self esteem, assertiveness, attitude to school, truancy and parental relationships. Background variables include age, sex, school year, family composition. An additional survey of group leaders of Peer Support programs evaluates the organisational aspects of running a Peer Support group.

title: Alcohol and medication use among older people, 1991

description: The impetus for this study came from questions about the ways in which drug-related problems among elderly patients were identified and treated. The survey involved an investigation of patterns of use of alcohol, tobacco and psychotropic medication by hospital patients aged over 65, problems related to their substance use and the patterns of recognition and referral for these problems. It was envisaged that this survey would be the first stage of a larger project investigating patterns of non-harmful, hazardous and harmful use of alcohol and other drugs by older community residents with a view to developing appropriate intervention strategies. Variables covered include reason for admission, history of previous admissions, recent medications, whether the patient lives alone, regularity of meals, tea and coffee consumption, recent accidents, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, use of drugs to cope, perception of alcohol/drug problem by others or self, and a brief assessment of mental status. For a randomly selected group of 67 patients, questions about the patient's use of medication, cigarettes and alcohol were also answered by a relative or the patient's general practitioner. Background variables include age, sex, ethnicity, and geographical region.
Alcohol and Medication use among older people, 1991 has 3 data files: 00626.dat is the main survey file; 00626a.dat is the alcohol file; 00626b.dat is the audit file.

title: Controlled availability of opioids: a feasibility study, 1991

description: The aim of this study was to explore the issues surrounding a suggested trial of controlled availability of opioids in the ACT. The study involved four different surveys, designed to elicit the views of the general community, police, service providers and drug users/ex-users. All four questionnaires surveyed perceptions of what constitutes a drug problem, attitudes to taking various drugs, awareness of the proposal for a controlled availability trial, support for the suggested trial, and opinions about how the trial should be conducted. In addition, the community survey asked whether any close person has been an illegal drug user or affected by drug-related crime, and asked about personal experience of drug-related illness or other problems. The police survey covered involvement with drug-related matters in police work, opinions about drugs in relation to crime (e.g. which drug is most responsible for crime, effectiveness of current police policy, extent of drug-related crime in the ACT, penalties for drug-related crime, drug-related corruption in the police force), beliefs about the effect of the proposed trial on police, and detailed opinions about procedures for the proposed trial and effects of the trial. Community service providers were asked about the main function of their service, proportion of clients under18 years, treatment philosophy, perceived effectiveness of various treatments, detailed opinions about procedures for the proposed trial and effects of the trial, and personal experience with drugs. Drug users and ex-users were asked about drug usage among friends and co-habitants, current drug use, treatment for heroin/opiate use (intended, current or past treatment), means of raising money for drugs, driving under the influence of drugs, drug-related violence, opinions about the suggested trial, interest in being placed on the trial, and perceived personal effects of the trial. Background variables covered by all four surveys were sex, year of birth, age at leaving school, level of education, whether the respondent has children under 25 years old, and whether the respondent currently practices a religion. Additional background variables for the police survey were length of time in the police force, current employment status, area of police work, length of time in current section, and current rank. Background variables for the service providers survey included current employment status and occupation. Background variables for the drug users/ex-users survey included employment status, current living situation, and residential mobility.

title: National dietary survey of adults, Australia, 1983

description: The National Dietary Survey of Adults was conducted in 1983 as a component of the Risk Factor Prevalence Study conducted by the National Heart Foundation in that year (see SSDA Study No. 414). The specific aims of the survey were: to collect dietary intake data to determine the food consumption and nutrient intake of a national sample of Australian adults; to compare the intake of nutrients and specific foods in various sub-groups in this population; and to determine the relationship between diet patterns of the sub-groups and their body mass index, blood lipid levels, hypertension and other health factors. For the dietary section of the survey project, a range of demographic information was collected, which included: sex, age, region and country of birth, length of residence in Australia, highest level of education, employment status, occupation status and occupation, whether currently pregnant, use of vitamin supplements and saly intake, and usual way of eating. Respondents were then asked to complete a 24 hour dietary recall schedule with the assistance of an interviewer, using standardised techniques such as food models, calibrated containers and geometric models as aids to assess food intake. There are two data files: a dietary intake file, which provides basic information on each food group consumed and amounts; and a dietary and nutrient intake file which gives more detailed components of the nutrients making up the individual food groups.

title: General Practice Use of Near-patient Testing, Australia, 1994

description: Near-patient testing (NPT) is defined as 'an investigation performed by or on behalf of the treating doctor on-site, at the time of and for use during the consultation'. General practitioners and their patients, utilising this technology in Victoria, were surveyed by anonymous questionnaire to determine clinical usage, costs and attitudes associated with NPT. The study employed three questionnaires. The first questionnaire was the 'Practice questionnaire' which requested information on demography, clinical usage, equipment costs and attitudes of doctors using NPT, and one 'Practice questionnaire' was filled out by the approved pathology authority (APA) of each practice included in the study. The second questionnaire, the 'Doctor questionnaire', requested information on clinical management relating to each consultation and at which a cholesterol test was performed. The third questionnaire, the 'Patient questionnaire', requested information on demographic data, costs to the patient and attitudes of the patients attending the consultation. Doctor and Patient questionnaires were coded in pairs, according to consultation. Background variables for patients included: family income, marital status and education. For doctors (APA's), demographic variables included: postgraduate qualifications, institute of graduation, vocational registration status, time in general practice, number of full-time doctors in practice, and total number of patients per week. All respondents were asked to record their age, sex and area (eg rural/provincial/metropolitan).
