Primary prevention of the substance and non-substance addiction in primary and secondary schools in Czech Republic and selected European countries
Přibylová, Kateřina ; Rajsiglová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Havlová, Michaela (referee)
In the Czech Republic it is possible through the so called Basic Preventive Programme to encounter not only the term "substance addiction", but also the term "non-substance addiction". In which way is the prevention of addictions performed and can we also find this comprehensive approach to the prevention of addictions in the schools of foreign countries? For comparison with the Czech Republic I chose two countries: Finland and Great Britain. The main aim of my work was based on an analysis of the school-based prevention programs and other preventive activities in the schools of each country to determine the current school preventive approaches. Furthermore, it was based on the curricular documents of the countries to identify which subjects or cross-cutting themes are involved in the prevention of substance and non-substance addictions. Finally, I wanted to summarize, from the obtained information, to what extent do the schools of the particular countries realize the prevention of substance and non-substance addictions. Key words: school-based primary prevention, substance addiction, non-substance addiction, behavioural addiction, curricular documents, school-based prevention programs
