| Summary: | The problems of eating and drug-addicted behavior of adolescents are one of the most urgent both in Russia and around the world.
The purpose of the study: to analyze the behavioral factors of adolescents’ adaptation to the environment, such as smoking, alcohol and drug use, as well as the eating behavior of adolescents, indicating a deviation in healthy eating.
Novelty: a comprehensive approach to the social portrait of adolescents was used with an assessment of eating and drug-addicted behavior in the gender aspect in the Orenburg region of the Russian Federation. In the literature known to us, the eating and drug-dependent behavior of adolescents was assessed in isolation.
The results obtained from a survey of 200 teenagers studying at a college in the Orenburg region revealed that all teenagers attend Fast-Food and prefer sweet drinks to eating fresh fruits and vegetables. The identified gender differences in eating behavior indicate that boys have breakfast and snacks more often than girls, while girls are more attentive to the principles of healthy eating and more often have theoretical knowledge on this issue. Drug-directed behavior in terms of alcohol consumption was registered in 22% of adolescents, smoking in 19% of adolescents, and the use of narcotic psychoactive substances in 1% of the adolescents surveyed. The status of families with children with early drug-directed behavior was characterized by low social responsibility.
Practical significance: the results of the study will be used to determine the main areas of work with adolescents on the formation of a healthy lifestyle, as well as to purposefully prevent early deviations in their eating and addictive behavior |
