Prevention of using legal addictive substances - alcohol, tobacco pruducts and energy drinks at primary schools in České Budějovice
ANTALOVÁ, Dominika
The diploma thesis presents ways to prevent the abuse of legal addictive substances in primary school students. Focusing on the use of alcohol, tobacco products and energy drinks, a research was conducted among primary school students in the area of České Budějovice with the aim to clarify whether and to what extent they are at risk of using the aforementioned legal addictive substances. A number of papers dealing with this topic have targeted students of low secondary or secondary schools. Unfortunately, addictive substances are being used by an increasing number of primary school students, as well. The paper is divided into a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with definitions of terms such as legal addictive substance, alcohol, tobacco products, energy drinks, risky behaviour, addictive behaviour, prevention, family environment etc. The practical part is based on a quantitative research, where a total of 304 questionnaires were distributed among the students of the fourth and fifth grades at primary schools in České Budějovice. The primary schools were selected by their locations, with three primary schools located in the very center of České Budějovice and other three schools situated in the outskirts of the town. The research has revealed the rate of occurrence of legal addictive substances in primary school students. The students are most affected by the use of energy drinks. Alcohol abuse is another issue that primary school students have mentioned. The smallest number of students in the fourth and fifth grades have reported using tobacco products. In addition, the research has shown that prevention of drug use in primary schools takes place within the framework of teaching as well as in families. Media (TV and the Internet) also prove helpful in terms of prevention. However, in spite of ongoing preventive programmes, part of the students still fail to realize the harmfulness of the drug substances examined, some of them struggling to identify harmful addictive substances contained in energy drinks. The results of the processed questionnaires may be partly influenced by the fact that not all students gave completely true responses even though each of them was informed about anonymity of the questionnaires.

TŮMOVÁ, Kristýna
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of primary prevention of risk behaviour at secondary schools in the region České Budějovice. It is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first aim of this bachelor thesis was to find out and describe which types of prevention programmes are realised in the field of risk behaviour prevention on chosen secondary schools in the region České Budějovice. Other aim was to describe which strategies do the chosen secondary schools in the region České Budějovice apply when solving the presence of risk behaviour. For data gathering I chose the qualitative type of research, which took place by means of interviewing, in the form of semi-structured interview. Within the research, I asked eleven secondary schools in the region České Budějovice, ten of them were willing to cooperate. After an agreement with schools methodologists or other people in charge of securing the prevention, I realised the interviews, which took place with the aforementioned people, in the school premises. The results of the research show that within the prevention, all included schools abide by methodical instructions from the Ministry of education, youth and sports. The prevention is most often secured by means of lectures, discussions, adaptation courses and experience programmes. Among the most often occurring strategies in the case of presence of risk behaviour is firstly informing the parents, then also talking to the student at risk. In the case of occurrence of particular risk behaviour, the schools try to focus their prevention on this particular problematic. The bachelor thesis can serve as a background for the school prevention methodologists, pedagogues, social workers and all others, who deal with the problematic of risk behaviour at secondary schools, it can also serve with their findings to create Minimal prevention programme.
