Substance use among seniors in Prague: questionnaire survey
Stříteský, Vít ; Vacek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Mravčík, Viktor (referee)
Background: Substance use also occurs among the elderly and poses an increased risk of various health and social problems in this group. Currently, this specific group is somewhat neglected in addiction studies. In my opinion, seniors are a highly vulnerable group associated with the consumption of addictive substances, and this issue has not been extensively studied in the Czech Republic yet. Objectives: The main goal of this study is to determine which addictive substances are currently used by seniors in Prague and their prevalence. Secondary objectives include determining which sociodemographic and health characteristics affect substance use among seniors, the reasons they use these substances, and their awareness of addiction services. Methods: Given the focus of this study and its objectives, a quantitative approach was chosen for the research. Data was collected using a custom-designed electronic and printed questionnaire as the research tool.

Coffee and alcohol are the most commonly used, followed by the use of medications (such as hypnotics, anxiolytics, and analgesics), cannabis products, and nicotine products.

The drug consumption rooms as one of the possible harm reduction tools?
Rosolová, Tereza ; Novák, Petr (advisor) ; Cooke, Dana (referee)
11 Abstract This thesis delves into a highly contentious subject that demands acknowledgment. Substance abuse is intricately linked with human existence, necessitating the recognition of this reality and the subsequent addressing of its repercussions. The topic of Drug Consumption Rooms (DCRs) as a viable harm reduction measure was selected based on both professional expertise and personal insights. The vicinity of the Anděl district in Prague 5, where I am actively involved, serves as a notable hub of drug activity in Prague. This is chiefly attributed to the shifting of the drug scene amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Merely two years ago, Prague 5 hosted two contact centers for drug users, resulting in a heightened concentration of substance users in the area. This surge correlated with an uptick in criminal activity and a decline in cleanliness and hygiene standards in the district. Among the potential remedies, the establishment of DCRs stands out. Despite its contentious nature, which has garnered attention from experts and the public alike, this idea has largely remained theoretical until recently. In September 2023, a pioneering pilot project of a mobile DCR was initiated in Brno, marking a significant breakthrough. It is my hope that this thesis will foster greater awareness of this issue, potentially...
