RISK BEHAVIORS AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PUPILS AND ITS PREVENTION
 JÁNKOVÁ, Michaela
Risk behaviour of children and adolescents is an up-to-date issue with an upward trend. Our society tries to prevent the negative behaviour occurrence and development by implementing primary prevention measures. This thesis deals with the incidence of risk behavior in basic school pupils. It focuses on the pupils´ experience in alcohol drinking, smoking tobacco and marijuana. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts of social pathology, describes the period of puberty, selected forms of risk behavior and its prevention. The aim of this study was to survey the incidence of risk behavior ? addictive substance abuse. Another objective was to describe the methods and forms of prevention. In order to meet the purposes, in the practical part the quantitative method of data collection by means of a questionnaire survey was used. The school concerned was ZŠ Pohůrecká in České Budejovice where both the survey and the analysis of internal school documents were carried out. The results were interpreted using graphs and tables. They were also compared with some surveys from previous years. The results show an increase in addictive substance use and the still declining age of the first experience with them. In terms of alcohol drinking pupils mentioned the first use as early as at the age of 9 years and the first cigarette at the age of 10 years. What I consider alarming is pupils´ high experience in drunkenness. The research also shows a high availability of tobacco products, as almost half of respondents say that they can get cigarettes easily in shops. The experience with marijuana has been proven in a quarter of pupils attending the second stage of the basic school. It was the school that was reported more frequently by pupils as the main source of prevention. The outcomes of the thesis could be used as a basis for pedagogical staff to get informed on the current occurrence of these forms of risk behavior, for teaching and a further research to be carried out to make prevention more effective.
