This research thesis adds to the work of the “Community Prevention” project and its aim is to assess the community readiness of the City of Jastrebarsko for prevention efforts six months after the completion of the stated project in order to determine the differences between the initial readiness assessment made at the beginning of the project and the second assessment made for the needs of this thesis. Meaning, the aim is to determine whether an increase is achieved in the community readiness of the City of Jastrebarsko for preventive efforts after the completion of the project. The research is theoretically and methodologically grounded in The Community Readiness Model which distinguishes 6 dimensions and 9 degrees of community readiness for preventive efforts. In order to collect the necessary data, a focus group method with key community people was conducted, in this case with the members of the Prevention Council of the City of Jastrebarsko. Qualitative analysis was used to process the collected data, which provided the qualitative results of this research, while the only quantitative indicator was also obtained - the degree of readiness for each individual readiness dimension and the overall community readiness degree for preventive efforts. Obtained results describe a community at the 4th stage of readiness for prevention efforts, in which its members recognize a portion of the behavioral problems in children and youth, where prevention programs are mostly based on the results of need assessments and where a large number of activities and programs are being provided, but comprehensive planning, implementation and evaluation of such efforts is currently lacking. Cross-sectoral networking of professionals working with children and youth has been identified as the greatest resource for prevention efforts, while a sense of stigma associated with participation in prevention programs has been identified as the greatest risk to comprehensive preventive efforts. When the results are compared with the initial community readiness assessment, a positive change is seen in four dimensions, while one remains unchanged, and the newly added dimension that assesses the community climate significantly lowers the overall assessed community readiness for prevention efforts. In the conclusion section of this thesis, activities are proposed for future attempts to increase the community readiness for preventive efforts, as well as a new preventive priority.
