Résumé : |
The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) is the lead Federal agency in the fight against the use of illicit drugs. The agency coordinates a range of Federal prevention, treatment, law enforcement and international efforts to address America's drug problem. As part of its efforts, ONDCP assists in the building of the National Drug Control Strategy which outlines the nation's plan to reduce illicit drug use and drug trafficking in the United States. As input into this Strategy, ONDCP historically solicits the input from drug-use experts throughout the country. In addition to input and support from local. State and other Federal agencies with similar drug reduction supporting missions, the development of the Strategy also depends on awareness, knowledge and support from the general public.
To meet this need. The Office of National Drug Control Policy commissioned The Gallup Organization to undertake a study of the American public to assess their views and perceptions of the country's drug problem and of actions and measures that Americans would support in the war on drugs. Gallup conducted telephone surveys with a random, representative sample of 2,016 noninstitutionalized adults aged 18 or older living in telephone households in the contiguous continental United States. After interviewing was completed, the data were weighted to match the latest estimates of the demographic characteristics of the adult population available from the U. S. Census Bureau. [...] This report presents the perceptions of the non-institutionalized, American public aged 18 or older regarding the severity of the problem and the effects of illegal drug use, the perceived effectiveness of various drug control measures and the influence of the media and other sources in the decision to use illegal drugs. It should be made clear that these data represent Americans' perceptions on these issues. A perception can be defined as an attitude, belief or impression and not necessarily a reflection of reality. Some of these perceptions may be accurate and some may be genuine misperceptions about the causes, effects, and drug control measures associated with illegal drug use in the United States. This report presents the key findings of this data. A more detailed analysis can be found in the data cross tabulations which are presented under separate cover. |
