Sažetak
An investigation was carried out among the rural adolescent population in the Zadar region. The objective was to examine their health status, to gain information about occupations they wish to be trained for and to find out whether there are any medical contraindications in respect lo those occupations. Using methods of vocational guidance medicine health disorders were found to be present in 30% of the examined adolescents. Of a total of 668 examinees 68 had relative and 24 absolute contraindications to the desired occupation. The commonest impairments were those ol vision (39%) and the locomotor system (31 %). The greatest number of contraindications was established among the examinees who wanted to become craftmen, mechanics or traffic officers. It is concluded that all adolescents with health disorders and all those wanting to be trained for specific occupations should undergo a medical examination in addition to a vocational guidance interview so mat possible medical contraindications could be detected and professional advice given as to the choice of the most appropriate occupation.
