Černá, Michala ; Voňková, Hana (advisor) ; Gabrhelík, Roman (referee)
Mental health, integral part of the general health, has recently been increasingly associated with a term well-being. An alarming problem which occurs not only in Czech society is a high degree of early use of legal addictive substances (alcohol and tobacco) among children. This thesis provides an insight into the issue of the use of addictive substances by children in the context of subjective perception of personal well-being. Finding the prevalence of the use of these substances among children enabled the identification of links between the use and several factors which altogether represent subjective well-being. Satisfaction with oneself has proved insignificant in relation to substance abuse. Furthermore, it was found that children can compensate low self-esteem for alcohol. Based on these data using logistic regression there was designed a mathematical model which allows, while knowing the factors of personal well-being, the prediction of the probability of the use of tobacco and alcohol among children. Key words: prevention, substance abuse, well-being, alcohol, tobacco, logistic regression
