Sažetak
Previous research has shown numerous problems associated with substance abuse in adolescents, including problems in schools and schools climate, socioeconomic status, parental education and etc. The objective of this study is to examine this relationship longitudinally. That is whether adolescents in trades, techical and industrial schools are more likely to engage in substance abuse then those in gymnasium, as expected, and also to examine the association between knowledge of marijuana and its effects and the status of its use. The study analyzed data collected through a questionnare, from entire population of highschool students in Sinj (n=434), in the year 2006. and 2009. At the beginning of this survey, 6.45% of students admited marijuana use. At the end of the survey, number of experimentators increased up to 20.29%. Considerably higher rise of marijuana use, 7 times higher, was noted in gymnasiums. As for the knowledge of marijuana, adolescents showed better understanding of marijuana effects on the human body when older, but it seems as though this knowledge is more likely to come as the results of their own experience with marijuana, rather then through education in schools. For conclusion we dare to say that there is growing evidence that adolescents in „better“ schools, such as gymnasium, are also at high risk for substance abuse and that parents and teachers do not perceive the magnitude of the problem. They all require better adjusted substance abuse programming in order to teach skills and gain knowledge and healthier habits through education.
