Sažetak
Comprehensive studies about substance abuse among higher education students in Croatia are scarce. Substance abuse in this population is very important and still ignored topic. It can affect students’ academic achievement, their quality of life, and create problems for future life. Survey on substance abuse that will be presented in this paper was a part of the larger study about quality of students’ life in Croatia. The purpose of the study was to gain an insight into the quality of life through the analysis of the following areas: satisfaction with studies, life satisfaction, self-esteem, health status, leisure patterns, and risk behaviors (in sexual behavior and substance abuse). Full-time students of higher education institutions in Croatia participated in this study (N=1880). The survey was conducted via online questionnaire in 2014. In this paper, we are answering to the following questions: 1. what are the prevalence of substance consumption (alcohol, pills-sedatives and concentrations pills, and illegal drugs) among student population, 2. what is the incidence of binge drinking, 3. how do students get these substances, 4. how do students perceive availability of addictive substances, 5. what motives for illegal substance consumption students perceive as the most important. In addition, we wanted to examine gender differences.
