Abstract

Droge so substance, ki vplivajo na normalno delovanje človeškega telesa, na človeško psiho in zdravje. Uživanje dovoljenih in prepovedanih drog, predvsem pri dolgotrajni uporabi, na človeku lahko pusti tako kratkoročne, kot dolgotrajne posledice. Pri uživanju drog so najbolj ranljivi otroci, predvsem v času adolescence. V obdobju adolescence se otroci pričnejo spoznavati z dovoljenimi in prepovedanimi drogami. Učinki, ki jih imajo droge pri mladih, so še močnejši in posledice so lahko še toliko hujše ter nevarnejše, kot pri odraslih. Ob pojavu venomer novih substanc in ob relativno lahki dostopnosti dovoljenih ter prepovedanih drog, so otroci še toliko bolj izpostavljeni tveganju, da se srečajo z drogami. V magistrskem delu je predstavljena raziskava, kjer smo otroke iz Ljubljane in Maribora, v starostnem razponu 13¬—17 let, spraševali o uživanju dovoljenih in prepovedanih drog. Odgovore na anketo smo zbirali preko spletnega portala 1ka, otroke pa smo dosegli preko družbenih portalov, prijateljev ter osnovnih in srednjih šol. Poleg ankete smo pregledali tudi policijsko statistiko mladoletniške kriminalitete na področju prepovedanih drog in preverili, če se je zloraba drog med mladoletniki povečala. Ugotovili smo, da trenda v povečanju zlorabe drog, glede na prejšnja leta, ni. Preverjali smo tudi trditev, da je najpogosteje zlorabljena prepovedana droga konoplja, kar smo potrdili z Wilcoxonovim testom. Nato smo preverjali ali obstajajo razlike v starosti pri izkušnji s konopljo, kar smo preverili z Mann-Whitneyevim testom in potrdili, da razlike obstajajo. Tudi pri preverjanju hipoteze o povezanosti spola in izkušnje s konopljo smo prišli do sklepa, da povezanosti v našem vzorcu ni, zato smo jo s pomočjo hi-kvadrat testa zavrnili. Z zadnjo hipotezo smo preverjali povezanost med krajem bivanja in izkušnjo s konopljo in s hi-kvadrat testom potrdili, da v našem vzorcu povezanost obstaja. Na koncu smo z logistično regresijo želeli še preveriti, kateri izmed treh dejavnikov, starost, spol in kraj bivanja, najbolj vpliva na uživanje konoplje. Analiza je pokazala, da lahko le za spremenljivko starost trdimo, da ima neposreden vpliv na izkušnjo otrok s konopljo.

Secondary title:	The abuse of licit and illicit drugs amongst the youth
Secondary abstract:	Drugs are substances, which have an effect on normal human bodily functions, human psyche and health. Licit and illicit drugs can, especially after long term consumption, leave visible short and long-term consequences for humans. Children are especially vulnerable when it comes to drug usage, particularly during adolescence. In adolescence children begin to learn about licit and illicit drugs. The effects of drugs are stronger, and the consequences are more dire and dangerous with children, than they are with adults. With the constant emergence of new substances and the relatively easy availability of licit and illicit drugs, children are all the more at risk of encountering drugs. The master thesis contains a research in which children from Ljubljana and Maribor at the age of 13-17 were surveyed about the consumption of licit and illicit drugs. They survey was made on the web portal 1ka and spread to children through social media, friends, elementary schools and high schools. In addition to the survey, we also reviewed police statistics on juvenile delinquency in the field of illicit drugs and examined whether drug abuse among juveniles had increased. We found that there is no trend in increasing drug abuse compared to previous years. We also examined the claim that the most commonly abused illicit drug is cannabis, which we confirmed with the Wilcoxon test. We then checked for age differences in the cannabis experience, which we verified with the Mann-Whitney test and confirmed that there were statistical differences. Also, when testing the hypothesis of gender association and cannabis experience, we concluded that there was no association in our sample, so we rejected it using the chi-square test. With the latter hypothesis, we tested the association between place of residence and cannabis experience and confirmed with a hi-square test that an association existed in our sample. Finally, with logistic regression, we wanted to examine which of the three factors, age, gender and place of residence, most influences cannabis consumption. The analysis showed that only the age variable can be said to have a direct impact on children’s experience with cannabis.
