Description A total of 228 motor disability clients from a social care institution were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire. Frequent cases of life-long use of a number of addictive substances and of activities displaying characteristics of addictive behaviour were found among the interviewees. It follows from the survey that these people mostly observe advice of their parents, teachers and therapists, and show a greater resistance to massive dabbling in or continued use of drugs than the majority population with no disabilities. The survey‘s results were compared with results of several Czech and Slovak studies of persons without disabilities. One of surprising findings was, e.g.,lower numbers of tobacco and marihuana users.
