| description | <p>The article presents the results of the study “Lifestyle of student youth: behavioral risks”, which was carried out in 2016–2017. The survey was conducted among college and university students aged 17–23 years. The particularities of influence of alcohol on the guideline beliefs of young people about sexuality and in particular on sexual behavior are revealed. Youth consuming alcohol beverages systematically is distinguished by a more liberal attitude towards sex and premarital sexual contacts, as well as broad guideline beliefs about the acceptability of various sexual activities, and a lower sexual culture. The results of a sociological survey indicate a high sexual activity of students. The low level of social culture and education, the immature system of sexual education, a large number of questionable sources of information on this topic are the causes of this problem. The article identifies the negative effects of alcohol consumption before intimacy, as well as the level of knowledge of young people on safe sex issues. An analysis of medical statistics indicates that alcohol and drugs that are consumed even periodically increase the potential risk of HIV infection. The extensive empirical material of the sociology sector of deviant behavior shows the main behavioral risks to the health of the youth: alcohol consumption, risky sexual behavior. Also, the role of prevention of risky sex among the young is indicated, which should be based on timely moral and ethical education. The need was emphasized for prevention of alcohol abuse to the extent of the spiritual and moral education of young people, as well as the propaganda of safe sexual behavior.</p> |
