Abstract

This paper gives an overview of a number of drug abuse prevention programmes that have emerged and developed worldwide for the past 40 years. The overview includes the development of prevention programmes from initial ones based on a mere presentation of information on harmfulness of drugs and aiming at inducing fear in individuals, to those aiming at development of social skills and social learning and teaching individuals how to fight social pressure caused by
the environment that in most cases leads to drug abuse. The paper also deals with the state of prevention in Croatia and respective legislation.
