The aim of this paper is to determine the relationship between the representation of individual risk factors and the participation of teachers in the implementation of preventive action of the school. The sample of respondents in this study consists of 450 primary school students, both sexes. The research was conducted in the municipalities of Doboj Istok and Gračanica, in the primary schools Klokotnica, Brijesnica, Lukavica and Hasan Kikić. Three questionnaires were applied, two standardized: ASEBA Youth Self-Report - YRS (Achenbach, 2007) and the Modified Questionnaire for Assessing the Level of Risk / Needs (YLS / MCI) by Andrews and Hoge (1994) and one created for research purposes. The statistical program SPSS 20.0 was used for data processing. for Microsoft Windows. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to prove the metric properties of the scales. Descriptive statistics methods, t-test, ANOVA, discriminant function and regression analysis were used in data processing. The results of the regression analysis show that the significant predictors are: poor school performance, grade repetition, a large number of unjustified absences, inappropriate attitude towards teachers / authorities, inappropriate behavior towards peers at school. Considering the sign related to certain coefficients, it can be concluded that the participation of teachers in the implementation of preventive action of the school is a very important item, when it comes to acting on risk factors at the school level.
