Sammanfattning
In 2002, an extensive follow-up of a
1996 alcohol survey was undertaken
in Denmark. A mail-distributed
questionnaire was sent to a
representative population of 3120 adult
Danes with a response rate of 56.4%. The
questionnaire comprised 37 questions
on alcohol (subdivided) and 6 on illegal
substances. The present article focuses
on three questions on the compulsory
treatment for alcoholics and one
question about the compulsory removal
of children from alcoholic families.
The results show a that a majority of
53% support compulsory treatment
of alcoholics and that percentages as
high as 80, 83 and 79% are supporting
respectively compulsory treatment of
pregnant alcoholics, alcoholics who
have children, and compulsory removal
of children from alcoholics. The results
are broken down according to sex
(no differences), age (no differences),
education (the higher the education the
less support, but still a majority) and
economics (the better economy the less
support, but still a majority). For average
consumption the results demonstrate a
correlation between high consumption
and low levels of support for compulsory
treatment, while a majority of those
respondents who themselves drink more than 21 units per week
disapproved of compulsory
treatment. The survey
responses on the issue of
the removal of children from
alcoholics demonstrate
a considerable rise in
restrictiveness since 1996.
