Sažetak
In our research we have used the Pompidou from to analyze the descriptive epidemiologic features reported in the medical documents of 327 injection drug users in the Center for Prevention and Out-Patient Treatment of Addicts in Zadar.
Most of the examinees were of male gender (273; 83,4%) and the gender ratio was 5 men: 1 woman. The greatest number oexaminees belongs to the 21-25 age group (99; 30,3%), most of them have partly or entirely (276; 84,4%) finished secondary school, living with their primary family (200; 61,2%), have vaccinated against hepatitis B (49; 15%). Members of the family are most often the first to find out of the addiction (51,4%) most of the addicts parents are married (209; 63,9%) and find out of their children's addiction after 2-4 years and more (53,8%). Most of the addicts parents are of average material status (150; 55%), and have a secondary school education (201; 61,5%).
The early addiction discovery model and the number of addicts reduction indicates the family as the key place to enforce all primary and secondary measures of drug addiction prevention, connected with the cooperation with goverment institutions where tertiary measures take place in the aim of addicts rehabilitation and resocialization.
