Psychoactive substances, i.e. nicotine, alcohol and other stimulants constitute one of the greatest threats to health of children and young people.

Author's own questionnaires (surveys) were used. The information obtained from questionnaires were encoded and analyzed with a computer. The statistical analysis of correlations included Pearson's chi-squared test, Cramer's V and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. results: The research suggested that a significant number of adolescents smoke tobacco and drink alcohol. Smoking depends on the sex of subjects: boys are more likely to smoke (15.52%) than girls (10.62%). As for alcohol, the opposite tendency was observed. Girls drink more frequently (59.12%) than boys (54.87%). A correlation between alcohol consumption and parents' education was observed (the more educated parents, the higher alcohol consumption – 67.35%); another observable dependency was noted StreSzczenIe |
