In general, smoking is five times more common in men than in women, however, this gender difference decreases in younger age. In developed countries, the population smoking level in men has reached its peak and began to decline, in women it is still growing. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that "most tobacco-related diseases and early deaths disproportiona-tely hurt the poor population. Since alcoholism is also a social illness, it is considered that the total number of alcoholics registered should be multiplied by 3 in order to obtain an approximate number of persons endangered by alcoholism. The problem of psychoactive substance dependence is one of the most difficult problems of contemporary society, which has serious consequences for the individual as well as for his environment and society as a whole. Respondents are female students who regularly attend the four faculties of the University of Sarajevo from the first to the final year, as follows: Faculty of Health Sciences (FZS), Faculty of Pharmacy (FF), Faculty of Political Science (FPN) and Faculty of Transport and Communications (FSK). An original questionnaire was created, which is the compilation of the internationally recommended questionnaires used for population surveys in assessing the frequency of behavioral risk factors. Modular education was conducted once a week (two school hours) for a period of 6 months, a total of 24 weeks, or 4 weeks according to the studied behavioral risk factors. By analyzing the score of non-exposure to smoking habits, the use of alcohol and psychoactive substances in relation to the faculties considered, only the score of female students at the Faculty of Political Science decreases, indicating that at the end of the study the respondents of this faculty were more exposed to smoking habits, the use of alcohol and psychoactive substances. The educational program during this study had a positive impact on the students who had the least knowledge about exposure to smoking habits, the use of alcohol and psychoactive substances.
