Cilj: Cilj ovog rada je procijeniti stavove mladih ljudi prema ovisnosti. Metode: Za istraživanje su korišteni upitnici za prikupljanje sociodemografskih karakteristika ispitanika te upitnik koji se odnosi na stavove ispitanika prema konzumaciji droga sastavljen od trideset i devet tvrdnji vezanih za stavove ispitanika prema ovisnostima, predan ispitanicima u izravnom kontaktu. Istraživanje je bilo dobrovoljno i anonimno.Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 502 ispitanika od kojih je 246 (49%) bilo muškaraca i 256 (51%) žena u dobi od 15 do 18 godina. Ispitanici su bili učenici prvog (N=261) i četvrtog (N=241) razreda srednjih škola. Na tvrdnje “Korištenje kanabisa ne treba biti legalno.” i “Nije normalno da mladi ljudi probaju droge barem jednom.”, muškarci su zauzeli značajno povoljnije sta-vove. Učenici prvog i četvrtog razreda su statistički značajno različito odgovorili na tvrdnju “Povremeno korištenje kanabisa/ma-rihuane je opasno.”, dok su kod tvrdnje “Većina mladih danas proba ecstasy.” odgovori učenika prvih i četvrtih razreda statistički značajno različiti. Analizom odgovora prema školama na tvrdnje “Sve droge nisu jednako štetne za Vaše zdravlje.” te “Povremeno korištenje kanabisa/marihuane je opasno.”, uočeni su statistički značajno različiti odgovori.Zaključci: Iako većina ispitanika ima pozitivne stavove o ovisnostima i smatra da je edukacija o ovisnostima potrebna već u ranoj fazi školovanja, ipak su rezultati pokazali da svaki peti ispitanik prvog razredu srednje škole te svaki treći ispitanik četvrtog razreda srednje škole konzumira kanabis. Ovakvi rezultati govore u prilog potrebe sustavnog pristupa šire zajednice u rješavanju ovog problema. Objective: The objective of this work is to assess young people’s attitudes towards addiction.Methods: For the research, questionnaires were used to collect sociodemographic characteristics and a questionnaire related to respondents’ attitudes towards drug consumption, consisting of thirty-nine statements related to respondents’ attitudes towards addictions, given to respondents in direct contact. The research was voluntary and anonymous.Results: 502 respondents participated in the research, of which 246 (49%) were men and 256 (51%) were women aged 15 to 18. The respondents were first (N=261) and fourth (N=241) grade high school students. To the statements “Cannabis use should not be legal” and “It is not normal for young people to try drugs at least once”, men took significantly more favorable attitudes. First and fourth graders answered statistically significantly differently to the statement “Occasional use of cannabis/marijuana is dangerous”, while the answers of first and fourth graders to the statement “Most young people try ecstasy today” are statistically significantly different. By analyzing the responses by schools to the statements “All drugs are not equally harmful to your health” and “Occasional use of cannabis/marijuana is dangerous” statistically significantly different responses were evaluated.Conclusions: Although the majority of respondents have positive attitudes about addictions and believe that education about addictions is necessary already at an early stage of education, the results showed that every fifth respondent in the first grade of high school and every third respondent in the fourth grade of high school consume cannabis. Such results speak in favor of the needs of a systematic approach of the wider community to solving this problem.
