Preventive measures against the spread of both addictive substance use and behavioral addictions that lead to impaired functioning and relationships are of great importance in society. Thus, the individual and societal problems caused by these substances and behaviors can be minimized. This field research is the largest study conducted in the field of addiction in our country to date. The research findings are striking and highlight geographical regional differences in addictions. The chemical and behavioral addiction risk profile revealed in the research for this report provides important information on which areas and regions socio-psychological support should be provided for both addiction prevention and reduction of relapse.
