Is the ethic discourse in the research only an empty word?
Miovský, Michal ; Čermák, Ivo
The authors deal with ethic problems in qualitative research. They argue that ethic dimension in research in the field of human sciences is constantly marginalized. The problem is demonstrated on the examples of relationship between researcher and his participant, between researcher and donators, and as well as between researcher and society. The argumentation is focused on responsibility of researchers. The results of underestimation of ethic issues in research could lead to politization of scietific resarch, to political and economic influence on research orientation, to the way, how the research question is raised, to choice of research methods, etc.

Nead 2000: Tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs among high-school students
Miovský, Michal ; Urbánek, Tomáš
During the January 2001 an extensive research project NEAD 2000 was finished which focused on alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs abuse in the population of secondary school students. This project consists of 31 regional school studies each based on the representative sample of subjects. Besides basic epidemological indicators and psychosocial characteristics of participants (related with drugs use), the NEAD project is one of the basic sources of important indicators needed for local official antidrug policy. On the other hand, this project is very important for planning and implementing of new primarily preventive programs at secondary schools.

Cannabis Users in the Context of Treatment Demand Indicators
Šťastná, L. ; Miovský, Michal
The increase in cannabis consumption in the past decade has created a need for continuous monitoring of risk behaviour indicators and a need for better prediction of this development in relation on the future demand for conselling and treatment interventions. A specific position among these indicators is occupied by the Treatment Demand ů TD, showing the total number of users in treatment for the period in question, and the First Treatment Demand Indicator ů FTD, showing the total number of individuals demending treatment for the first time in their lives for the period in question. In addition to providing a summary of these indicators in the Czech Republic, the authors deal with the secondary analysis of the data collected by means of a qualitative study using the focus-group method. The study focused on the service providers who reported the highest numbers of treatment demands for the year 2002.

The qualitative approach in modern research of addictions in Czech Republic during 1990s
Miovský, Michal
The development of qualitative approach and methods in research of drug users and drug use was during 1990s very rapid. It is impossible to provide a summary of this approach and methods in the Czech Republic unless we describe wider contexts of development of science in our country in the second half of the last century. Influence of communist ideology on science was obvious in many disciplines. However, the field of humanistic studies suffered the most. Under the communist regime, qualitative approach was not officially discussed in universities, and it was regarded as unscientific. Therefore, apart from a few exceptions, officially published scientific studies that made use of qualitative methodology have only started to appear in 1990s.
