Bakalauro darbo tikslas - išanalizuoti paauglių požiūrį į alkoholio vartojimo prevencijos organizavimo efektyvumą. Siekiama išsiaiškinti, kokios yra paauglių nuostatos į alkoholio vartojimą paauglystėje, koks jų požiūris į ugdymo įstaigose organizuojamą alkoholio vartojimo prevenciją ir efektyviausias alkoholio prevencijos organizavimo priemones, apibendrinti alkoholio vartojimo prevencijos organizavimo gerosios patirties atvejus paauglių požiūriu. Atliktas kiekybinis tyrimas, kurio instrumentas – mišraus tipo klausimynas. Tyrime dalyvavo 98 paaugliai, besimokantys Šiaulių gimnazijose ir progimnazijose. Gauti duomenys apdoroti matematinės analizės ir turinio analizės metodais. / In this paper is analyzed adolescents attitude towards the effectiveness of organizing alcohol use prevention.

The creation of antidrug rules is a part of the whole system of specific primary drug prevention. These rules should make it possible for the school apart from other things to indentify quickly potential drug users among the pupils/students, to find out their parents possibly too and then to offer them goal-directed services within the bonds of a selective and indicative prevention. That{\crq}s why I paid particular attention to the system of antidrug rules in my work. I examined whether the schools had such a system, how clear, transparent and effective it was and which of the rules showed the highest effect. The research was carried out by application of the half-structured dialogue with the methodologists charged with the prevention at secondary schools. I wanted especially to put their practical experience to good use for suggesting new rules and for rethinking the present ones. I chose secondary schools for my research because just the students aged 15 to 19 years have problems with addictive drugs in many cases. They grow up physically and mentally, create new groups, become able and further develop their ability to solve problems, to take decisions, to think abstractly, to create hypotheses and to combine the facts. They become more independent gradually, leave their families and create conditions for the future life. The aim of this work was to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of antidrug measures implemented at chosen secondary schools. The methodologist charged with the prevention should try to involve the complete staff of the school in the programme, everybody should know his role as far as to the prevention and as far as to the solution of situations where the prevention itself does not appear sufficient any more. The schools prefer single prevention campaigns, but the prevention should be comprehensive, long-term and it should embrace all programmes, an individual approach, positive atmosphere at school, effective antidrug rules etc. The use of addictive drugs in the school ambience at the time when the school looks after entrusted persons or keeps them under supervision is a significant intervention in its life. It is therefore necessary to be aware of this phenomenon and to have at disposal an in detail developed crisis plan.
