- Abstract
Czech children and adolescents are at higher risk of addictive problems than in most other countries. Family-based prevention is not omnipotent, but it is important. Parents should spend enough time with their children, be caring and sensitive. At the same time they should establish and consistently enforce strict rules in relation to addictive risks such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs and gambling. Parents should never allow their underage children to drink alcohol at home. Alcoholic drinks and solutions (e.g. mouthwashes containing alcohol) should locked up to prevent poisoning in small children and because of other reasons. Children should know that the drinking of alcohol in children and adults is fundamental different. Parents' restraint and moderation with regard to alcohol serve as a positive model for their children. Brief intervention can be often successfully applied in mild addictive problems in adolescents and it is also mentioned.
