 On the occasion of the general States of the alcohol, an investigation valued the opinions, attitudes and knowledge of the citizens on the alcohol. The results reveal an assent as for the action of the public powers but also of the knowledge all relative on the topic... Lancés by the Minister of Health and Solidarities, the general States of the alcohol collected the speech of the French in order to associate them to the future choices of public health. To conclude this debate citizen, an investigation of the national institute of prevention and education in health (Inpes) wanted in to know more on the opinion of the French on the alcohol.
The French concerned by the problems of alcohol
The French feel concerned by the consumption of alcohol of their setting, that he is domestic (close to a parent out of two estimates that he has his word to say on the consumption of alcohol of his child, whatever is the age of this last) or personal or professional (more of the half of the French know a person of which he thinks that she has a problem with the alcohol). More astonishing again by his size, 38% recognize to have endured the consumption of alcohol of a person of their setting personally.
Facing this problem, our compatriots have all confidence in their physician (86% "quite" make to them or "rather" confidence), as well as the state (69%). The action of the public powers and associations to fight against the consequences of the abuse of alcohol is discerned well:Â for a large majority, the campaigns of information and the actions of prevention are useful to make his/her/its consumption of alcohol think (83%) and to incite to change behavior facing the product (77%). Only a third of the French (29%) judges these actions as active in opposition to their liberty. On the contrary, the majority (58%) thinks that the public powers don't make enough" of it.
The pictogram elected "pregnant woman"
The investigation collected the feeling of the French on the measure foreseeing the apposition of a sanitary message or a pictogram on the containing of alcohol, in the goal to inform the general public of the risks bound to the consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. A French out of two heard to speak of it and the immense majority (90%) approves it. If the communication seems to have carried his/her/its fruits (47% know that the risks for the fetus begin since the first glass, against only 25% in November 2004), one can wonder on the delay of the setting up of this measure that should be only efficient from 2007.
An ignorance of the doorsteps and risks
Only a person out of 4 mentions the doorstep of consumption correctly to risk for the men (3 glasses of alcohol per day), and one on 3 the one of the women (2 glasses of alcohol per day). Close to half overestimates these doorsteps or don't declare to know them.
