Abstract

The formation of individual health is the result of a complex convergence of biological, behavioral, social, economic and environmental factors. According to WHO, the causes of 70 % of deaths in the adult population are associated with behavioral factors were formed in adolescence. Questioning of 1006 children of senior school age from different regions of Ukraine showed a high level of prevalence of bad habits among adolescents there in particular smoking and drinking alcohol. Microsocial conditions, such as the organization of training, the nature of relationships in the family and with peers lead to the formation of a certain model of behavior in adolescence. The leading factors of the learning environment, most associated with addiction to bad habits, were low success and motivation to study, problems in relationships with teachers. The most significant аmong family factors were the social structure of families, the presence of bad habits among parents, the lack of trusting relationships with children and the low level of parental awareness of the problems and needs of children, unorganized free time and lack of control by parents on its implementation. An assessment of basic needs satisfaction showed that girls are less satisfied with themselves (49.6% girls, 63.1 % boys, p <0.01) and their state of health (58.6 % girls, 71.6 % boys, p <0,01). The most adequate point of application of efforts in implementing programs to preserve and promote the health of students is the school. There it is possible to successfully combine the efforts of teachers, medical workers, psychologists and parents in matters of creating a conscious attitude of youth to their own health.
