Abuse of addictive substances by elementary school pupils: prevention and early intervention

The general aim of this research is to obtain an insight into the abuse of intoxicating substances by the pupils of the elementary school Jože Šuran in Višnjan – area school in Kaštelir, with the purpose of planning preventive and early interventions aimed at the abuse of addictive substances, as well as a possible conduction of a further research on a larger sample of examinees. The specific aim is to determine the differences in the use of addictive substances according to age (grades) of pupils, since the risk for experimenting with some addictive substances increases in the adolescence period. The obtained results show a relatively favourable relation between the pupils of the examined school toward the abuse of addictive substances and are a valuable contribution to the planning of preventive and early interventions for the problem.
