Abstract A national survey on Finnish sexual life and sexual behaviour. Many questions were repeats from the 1971 Finnish Sex Life Survey (FSD1242e) and allow for comparative study of the data contained in these two surveys. However, in this survey some themes received greater emphasis (e.g. sexually transmitted diseases and their treatment, single persons, homosexuality and casual affairs). At first respondents were asked about their parental home and sex education received at home and in school. The number of times respondents had been married or lived together with someone were investigated, likewise whether pregnancy had been the reason for getting married/start cohabiting. Respondents in a steady relationships were asked how they had met their partner, the length and happiness of the relationship, did they find it easy to talk about sex with their partner and how important sex was to the happiness of the relationship. Respondents with no steady relationship were asked what factors might have contributed to this. The number of friends, physical exercise habits, smoking and alcohol consumption were charted. Respondents state of health was examined by asking whether they had certain symptoms (e.g. insomnia, exhaustion, dizziness) or suffered from certain chronic illnesses or injuries (e.g. cancer, angina pectoris) and whether they needed information on how this would affect their sexual life. Female respondents of certain age groups were asked about hormonal replacement therapy HRT. Respondents general happiness and feelings of loneliness were studied. Some questions focused on respondents love life: falling in love, did they love somebody and were they themselves loved. Sexual morals were charted by asking respondents to what extent they agreed with statements relating to sex without love, sexual freedom, women s right to take the initiative, homosexuality, unions between homosexuals, polygamy of men and monogamy of women, 2

9 1.3. Structure and collection of the data casual sex, infidelity, viewing pornography, artificial insemination for single women, sexual relationships between the elderly, commercial sexual services, abortion, rape, etc. Respondents evaluated the importance of work, family, health, religion, etc. in their life. Some questions pertained to possible sexual relationships with colleagues, sexual harassment and birth control. Respondents were asked at what age they experienced their first kiss, first steady relationship and first sexual intercourse. Several questions pertained to respondents first and most recent sexual intercourse: who made the initiative, amount of alcohol consumed beforehand, use of contraception, position, pleasantness of the experience. Topics covered included the total number of sexual partners, experiences of anal intercourse, foreplay habits, reaching orgasm, experiences of swinging with other couples and masturbation. Respondents evaluated how satisfactory their intercourses generally were. Respondents were also asked whether they would like to have more sex in their current relationship. One theme covered infidelity: married or cohabiting respondents were asked about affairs with persons other than their partner. Several questions pertained to sexual orientation, asking about sexual experiences with persons of the same sex. Use of pornography, experiences of commercial sex and of sexual harassment were charted, likewise pregnancies, miscarriages, abortions, impotence and other problems with intercourse. Respondents evaluated their sex life and specified what would be their ideal sexual life style. They also evaluated the health care services relating to problems with sex. One question asked whether they had been worried about pregnancy, AIDS or of being sexually aberrant. Injecting drug use was charted. Respondents were asked whether the appearance of HIV had had an impact on their sexual behaviour and whether they had been tested for HIV. Some questions pertained to sexually transmitted diseases, gynaecological complaints, genital surgery or treatments. Causes for problems with sex were investigated. Background variables included region of residence, municipality type, sex, age, education, social class of the respondent and his/her parents, respondents employment, profession, net income, church membership, marital status, number of children and the age, employment and profession of the spouse. 1.3 Structure and collection of the data Country: Finland Geographic coverage: Finland Analysis or observation unit type: Individual Universe: People aged living in Finland, excluding people in residential care and persons who suffer from serious psychical or mental illnesses Collection date: November 1991 February 1992 Data collector(s): Statistics Finland Data producer(s): National Agency for Welfare and Health; Academy of Finland Mode of data collection: Face-to-face interview, Self-administered questionnaire: Paper Type of research instrument: Structured questionnaire Time period covered:

10 1. Study description Time method of the data collection: Longitudinal: Trend/Repeated cross-section Response rate: 75,90 % Number of variables and cases: The data contain 436 variables and 2249 cases. Sampling procedure: Probability: Simple random The original sample consisted of 3049 persons, of whom 85 lived permanently abroad, were deceased, in residential care or unable to respond due to illness. The net sample was 2964 persons, of whom 636 refused to answer and 78 were not reached. The number of persons interviewed face-to-face was The non-response rate was 24,1 % (714 persons). The number of completed self-administered questionnaires was Seven persons were interviewed instead of completing the self-administered questionnaire because of difficulties to complete it, 28 participants who had been interviewed refused to complete it, 16 were unable to complete it and six persons completed it only partially. Before data collection, both the media and the sampled persons were informed of the survey and its purposes. There were 164 interviewers, employed by the Statistics Finland. Appointments for the interviews were made by telephone beforehand and most interviews took place in the respondent s home. After the face-to-face interview, respondents answered the questions in the self-administered questionnaire themselves, in the presence but out of sight of the interviewer. On average, the interview and the self-administered questionnaire took about 78 minutes. 1.4 Use of data Data appraisal The data does not contain responses to the open-ended questions 10, 29, 32, 57, 100 and 111 of the face-to-face interview, nor responses to the open-ended categories of the questions 10, 40 and 76 in the self-administered questionnaire. The response rate for women was 77,7 percent and for men 74,2 percent. Respondents aged under 25 had the highest response rate (83,3%) and those aged the lowest (71,8%). The response rate for different regions varied from 70,3 to 88,2 per cent. Considering marital status, divorced persons responded least often (72,3%) and widows most often (82,6%). The category labels of the open-ended question 64 are incomplete. The variables of the face-to-face interview begin with the designation a_q and those of the selfadministered questionnaire with b_q. Variable numbering corresponds with the numbering of the questions in the original forms. Related publications Haavio-Mannila, Elina & Kontula, Osmo (1994).
