Abstract

The general aim of this research is to obtain an insight into substance abuse among the pupils of the elementary school Jože Šuran in Višnjan – Branch School in Kaštelir, with the purpose of planning preventive and early interventions aimed at substance abuse, 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 of 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 substance abuse and are a valuable contribution to the planning of preventive and early interventions regarding this problem.
