Abstract

The national strategy for drug abuse prevention recognized the importance of organizing pre-school preventive activities, as well as the need to involve parents in those activities. The research was conducted on parents’ attitudes about drug abuse and need to organize pre-school addiction prevention on a sample of 350 parents of preschool children. The results show that most parents express non-permissive attitudes about drug addiction, positive attitudes about the need to prevent drug abuse, and negative attitudes on the activities of the official institutions responsible for reducing damage and drug demand. However, the results also point to a group of parents who have permissive attitudes about drug consumption, negative attitudes about the need for pre-school drug addiction prevention and permissive attitudes regarding the legalization of marijuana.
