N2  - INTRODUCTION: The aim of this work was to determine the extent and causes of drinking and drug abuse by the youth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A questionnaire was administered to 918 students aged 13-16 years from five gymnasia in Stettin. The results were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: In the group of 918 students, 76% were alcohol drinkers and 15% abused psychoactive substances. Among causes of drinking and drug abuse were family and personal problems, impressing colleagues, fashion, advertisements, and stress. CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol drinking and drug abuse are not only a response to personal and family problems, but also the result of role models accepted by gymnasium students. Lack of control and support within the family are factors liberating alcohol consumption and drug abuse among the youth.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
