title: [The need for health promotion of medical students and proposal for prevention of addiction].
abstract: Alcohol, drug addiction or any other addiction to psychoactive drugs constitutes one of the most serious social problems in Poland. Despite systematic and more professional addiction prophylaxis, increased consumption of psychoactive drugs can be observed among children and youth. Prophylaxis is often limited to giving information on what must not be done and it does not include suggestions connected with constructive ways of coping with problems or of getting satisfaction. The problem of using psychoactive drugs by medical students is often neglected. Only few authors deal with this problem. The aim of the presented project is to educate medical students how to cope with difficult situations, form mutual reliability in a group, better self evaluate and wide the range of learning techniques.
