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. This round of Eurobarometer surveys covers the following special topics: (1) humanitarian aid, (2) domestic violence against women, and (3) mental well-being. Information was collected on respondents' knowledge of humanitarian aid activities and the importance of funding these activities, awareness and perception of domestic violence against women, and ways to aid domestic violence victims. Finally, respondents were asked about their own mental well-being and the effects of mental health on their everyday lives. Demographic and other background information collected includes 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, Internet use, type and size of locality, region of residence, and language of interview (in select countries). : Please review the ICPSR codebook, "Variable Documentation" section, for information concerning individual weights; and the "Technical Specifications" section for general weighting information. : ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure.
