    Description

    Prevalence estimates based on general population surveys (GPS) are a central component for the monitoring of addictive behaviour. The “Austrian Representative Survey on Addictive Behaviours 2020” is the most comprehensive nationwide survey on addictive behaviours and also covers attitudes towards alcohol, tobacco, illicit psychoactive substances, medications, and gambling. Due to the timely coincidence of the survey with the first wave of the Corona pandemic in Austria (April to June 2020), data on short time changes in behaviour as a result of the pandemic were also collected.
