The project is an internal part of a dissertation and is focused on finding and analysis of materials in foreign languages dealing with the problems of addictive behaviour in disadvantaged social groups. Unlike in the general population, proper attention is not given to the population of disadvantaged groups in context with addictive behaviour, its theoretical specification, possibilities of primary prevention, and educational intervention. This project will analyze foreign texts and research findings for the purposes of theoretical specification of the area of addictive behaviour in disadvantaged social groups (for example: individuals with special needs and individuals in post-productive age).
