Sažetak

The aim of this paper was to establish the frequency and occurrence of narcotic substance abuse among adolescence in the wider area of Split. The situation in Split in the 90s indicated an alarming widespread of narcotic addiction among adolescents. In that respect, we researched the experiences of adolescents (N=196) in two schools in Split (1st Grammar school and the Maritime school) regarding narcotic consumption, initial contact with consumers and
the availability of drugs in Split. Furthermore, we analyzed the family situation of consumers in comparison to non-consumers, and belonging to particular peer groups among consumers and non-consumers.
The data analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics indicates differences between participants in the two high-schools and also between participants – consumers with respect to non-consumers.
