Résumé :
The survey was conducted in six regions of Uzbekistan : Tashkent city, and Tashkent, Fergana, Surkhandarya, Samarkand and Khorezm regions. The survey included 5,500 school children aged 14-17 in grades 9-11 in urban secondary schools. An international standardized survey was used for the study after being modified for the situation in Uzbekistan. The results show that 3 per cent of the respondents already have experience with drugs and that another 2 per cent feel the urge to try them. Thirty-three percent of those who have experience with drugs do not identify themselves with ; drug users. Most respondents sympathize with drug users, while around one third of the consider that drug users have to be isolated from society. Most of the respondents were willing to get more information about the consequences of drug use from parents, teachers, school doctors and the mass media. Based on the results of the survey, recommendations have been elaborated on the improvement of prevention activities among school children for interested ministries, makhallas (neighbourhoods), NGOs and the mass media. They will also be reflected in a new prevention project. (Extract of the publication)
