Prevalence of smoking in general practitioners and teachers at primary schools in České Budějovice.
STRNADOVÁ, Monika
The objective of my thesis was to determine the prevalence of smoking in a selected group of general practitioners and primary school teachers in České Budějovice. I also wanted to emphasize the important role of physicians and teachers in smoking prevention. Therefore I focused on finding out what preventive activities are used in their professions to reduce smoking. To achieve the goal the interview technique for quantitative research was used. The results of the research show that prevalence of smoking among doctors and teachers is lower than in general population. It is 16 % among general practitioners and 14 % among teachers. In general population the prevalence reaches 30 %. But smoking prevalence among general practitioners for children and adolescents is the same as smoking prevalence in general population. The results of the research indicate the fact that teachers set a better example for their social surroundings than physicians. Physicians, on the contrary, use more preventive activities, provide information about possibilities of quitting smoking support and cooperate with institutions dealing with prevention and quitting smoking. The views of teachers (doctors) smokers and non-smokers on prevention administration are different. Lifelong non-smokers are most concerned in smoking reduction, former smokers take a lesser share and current smokers bring the least contribution to smoking reduction.

ŠAUFLOVÁ, Lucie
The lifestyle of secondary school students in the town of Havlíčkův Brod. The objective of my thesis was to call attention to the current possible risks of adolescents at secondary schools who live an inappropriate lifestyle. This is primarily the risk of becoming addicted to alcohol and smoking. The consumption of alcohol and smoking is very widespread among young people in the Czech Republic. The lifestyle of adolescents is affected by numerous factors. It is important to beginning teaching children a healthy lifestyle as soon as possible. Addiction to alcohol and smoking adversely affects the human body and causes very many diseases. The thesis presents up-to-date information about the lifestyle of secondary school students in the town of Havlíčkův Brod. The age at which a child or adolescent acquires his first experience with alcohol or cigarettes has markedly decreased in the past two years. This fact, of course, disturbs a wide range of experts from ranks of pedagogues, educators, medical workers, and other experts. Czechs belong among the leading consumers of alcoholic drinks in the Word. The number of smokers among adolescents increases daily. The risk of premature death is associated with this. A lifestyle belongs among important factors that can influence not only behaviour but also a person's health.

Legal drugs and their use by students at secondary schools in the of Tábor district.
PECLOVÁ, Kristýna
Legal drugs and their use by students at secondary schools in the Tábor district Drugs currently represent a major problem worldwide, affecting each of us. The Czech Republic ranks among the countries with the increasing trend of excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption in this society is considered an absolutely normal and tolerated phenomenon, equally as smoking of tobacco products and excessive use of non-prescription drugs. Alcohol and drugs are not only legal but their consumption is offered practically wherever you go. The period of adolescence involves experimenting as its natural part. Legal drugs are the first things the adolescents experiment with and for this reason my bachelor thesis focuses on the use of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and medicinal drugs. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes facts about the individual legal drugs (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, medicinal drugs) and analyzes related issues. The purpose of my bachelor thesis was to find out facts about the use of legal drugs at secondary schools in the district of Tábor and I have used some partial goals and previously established hypotheses to achieve it. The partial goals included identification of the first experience with legal drugs and quantities consumed by secondary school students. In order to verify the established hypotheses I have used quantitative research and the method of interviewing by questionnaires. The research group consisted of 290 respondents, from which 108 boys and 101 girls. 7 hypotheses were formulated for the research. The hypothesis H1 assumed that boys consume alcohol more often than girls. The hypothesis H2 assumed that boys consume tobacco more often than girls. The hypothesis H3 assumed that boys have the first experience with alcohol earlier than girls. The hypothesis H4 assumed that boys have the first experience with tobacco earlier than girls. The hypothesis H5 assumed girls consume more caffeine than boys. The hypothesis H6 assumed that girls consume more medical drugs than boys. The hypothesis H7 assumed that students of secondary vocational schools consume more alcohol than students of secondary comprehensive schools. All those previously established hypotheses have been confirmed. This bachelor thesis may be used by the general public and by professionals in the Czech Republic to increase the level of awareness about the use of legal drugs. The thesis has brought some new findings and it has mapped the situation in consumption of legal drugs by students of secondary schools in the district of Tábor. Therefore the thesis may contribute to an effective prevention among this group of adolescent youth.
