The epidemiological situation of psychoactive substance abuse in educational institutions in Krasnodar was investigated based on a survey of 2000 students in the basic group (1137 male and 863 female participants) and 400 adolescents in the control group (228 males and 172 females) aged 14-15 years old; measures were taken for primary prevention of drug addiction, the effectiveness of these measures was then assessed. The number of students taking drugs and toxic substances in the basic and control group was 21 (1.05%) and 4 (1%), respectively, of which 52.4% (11 persons) and 50% (2 persons) students took drugs occasionally, while 47.6% (10 persons) and 50% (2 persons) – constantly. These categories of students were referred to the narcological clinic, the preventive and dispensary group. Primary prevention was carried out through holding educational classes, telling about the dangers of drug and toxic substance abuse and demonstrating the impact of their use and abuse (lectures, discussions, leaflets, booklets, notes); through educational work – training and role-playing games; through leisure activities (artistic and sports activities); preventive work (social welfare). By the end of primary prevention, of the 900 students in the basic group who did not use drugs or other toxic substances, there were no newly diagnosed cases of drug or toxic agent abuse. In the control group, the number of adolescents taking drugs and toxic substances increased (p<0,05) from 4 (1%) to 8 teenagers (2%)
