The knowledge and experience in the area of drugs by the pupils living in town and village
MALÁ, Eliška
The subject of my Bachelor work is Drug Knowledge and Experience of Elementary School Children in Villages and Towns. Currently, drugs are worldwide issue affecting everybody. In the Czech Republic we still do not manage to effectively influence standpoints and habits of adult population in relation to drug abuse. Unfortunately situation is even worse in case of youth, since current society does not have enough will to effectively enforce legal restrictions concerning limited access to drugs. Currently there is not enough support for healthy living style education in school environment. Healthy style of living is not promoted sufficiently even in free time activity organizations for children and youth. Unfortunately even parents are not always suitable example for their adolescent children as concerns abuse of addictive substances. By Bachelor work investigates how much environment where children grow affect them in their standpoint to drug abuse. The objective of my research is to find out what drug knowledge and experience have pupils of 9th year-classes in villages and towns, followed by assessment of how much such drug knowledge and experience are different for respondents from villages and towns. In order to achieve this objective I have set up three hypothesis, on the basis of which quantitative research in form of anonymous questionnaires has been selected. The questionnaire was designed to find out at what age respondents had their first experience with individual drugs, drug abuse, how much respondents are informed on drug legislative, drug prevention and how well they know drug terminology. The questionnaire included 31 questions. Respondents were pupils in 9th year-classes of elementary schools in České Budějovice, Strakonice, Katovice and Volenice. In total 298 questionnaires have been distributes and there was 100% yield. The research result confirmed my hypothesis. The first hypothesis assumed that elementary school pupils in towns have more drug knowledge and experience than village school children. This assumption has been confirmed. Questions concerning drug knowledge of respondents have been more often answered correctly by town respondents. The second hypothesis assumed that town elementary school pupils have more own experience with illegal drug abuse than village school pupils. This hypothesis has been confirmed as well. Experience with an illegal drug have 1,6% town respondents more than village respondents. The third hypothesis assumed that village elementary school pupils have more experience with legal drug use than town pupils. Also this third hypothesis has been confirmed. Experience with an legal drug have 5,7% village respondents more than town respondents. Therefore the research confirmed that there are differences not only in knowledge, but also in use of addictive substances between elementary school pupils from villages and towns.
