Comparative analysis Impact of 2005 and 2006 social campaigns on awareness of drug services and change of behaviours and attitudes to drug problem

dalej The comparative analysis is based on the results of surveys conducted prior to the 2005 and following the 2006 campaign. The analysis covers two topics: attitudes and behaviours of parents towards drug problem, awareness of parent oriented services in case of drug problem within family Both surveys had similar methodological foundations. However, the sample selection method differed slightly. The pre-2005 campaign survey was conducted among parents with children aged while the post-2006 project focused on parents with children aged Consequently, the comparative analysis included parents who had at least one child aged Some of the questions in the pre-2005 survey were modified so in this case the answers will be just presented instead of being compared. Comparative analysis

Relationships with children : awareness of spending leisure time outside home In both surveys respondents were asked about relationships with their children. Generally, parents say they know how their children spend leisure time outside home. In both measurements, over 90% of respondents gave positive answers to this question (94% prior to 2005 campaign and 96% following 2006 campaign). While parents in the post-2006 campaign survey answered the question more frequently, they were more hesitant in doing so. Following 2006 campaign there were fewer decisive statements: 43% „I am absolutely sure what my kids do outside home”, and 53% „I am pretty sure”). In the case of the pre-2005 measurement the distribution of answers was reverse, i.e. there were more respondents who gave „I am absolutely sure” answers (54%). Both measurements feature the following pattern: the older the children are the less decisive their parents are when it comes to the awareness of what their kids do outside home, what places they go to and where they spend time.
