Currently, the organization of primary health prevention in secondary schools is a complex interaction between the health and education systems. In order to determine the need and scope of optimizing the organization of primary medical prevention for school-age children and develop measures to increase its availability, sociological studies were conducted of 400 parents of children studying in secondary educational schools and 403 teaching staff of secondary general education schools. According to the results of a survey of parents of school-age children, the following conclusions can be drawn: parents with children visit polyclinics for the treatment of diseases or for preventive examinations, and they do not have enough time and opportunity to solve issues related to the formation of a healthy lifestyle and have to get the necessary information on their own. The majority (77.8±2.1%) of respondents believe that school teachers can conduct conversations with schoolchildren on the formation of a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of diseases in school-age children. Parents also pointed out that school teachers with varying frequency already conduct conversations with students on the formation of a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of diseases in children. When analyzing the results of a sociological study of teachers, it was revealed that the majority (80.6±2.0%) of respondents consider it appropriate to conduct work with the population on the formation of a healthy lifestyle. More than half (54.8±2.5%) of the respondents consider it appropriate to receive training on healthy lifestyle issues in the future, and 19.5±2.0% - at the first opportunity.

The paper presents the results of a sociological study of the perception of drug abuse situation by the Samara Region population. For the research, the authors interviewed 2043 residents of the Samara Region living both in urban and rural settlements. The author’s attention focused on the subjective values of the population’s perception of drug addiction as a social phenomenon. The results of the study carried out at a high representative level made it possible to identify the peculiarities of existing public opinion of the Samara Region population about the spreading of harmful habits in general and drug addiction in particular. The study states that the drug addiction problem takes sixth place only by its urgency in public perception. Nearly half of the interviewed people are aware of the importance of the drug addiction problem. Among the key reasons for the drug addiction situation, most respondents mention life dissatisfaction, social deprivation, moral degradation of society, and the lack of organized leisure. The authors note that according to the obtained data, the interviewed people consider conscious negative attitude to the drug usage, the preventive work with the youth on the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, and the punitive measures the most effective for the struggle with drugs. Using the key questions of the checklist, the authors identified the significant difference of the positions according to the age groups of the surveyed people. For example, most admitted tried drugs for the first time in the age intervals from 16 to 29. The authors conclude the problems of drug addiction result from the deviant behavior forms among youth, however, the reasons for such behavior are caused by the complex of social and economic factors.

Background. A significant number of medical students refuse to work on a specialty obtained in medical universities after its completion or during the first years of professional activity.Purpose of the study: to conduct a sociological study of the adherence of students of a medical university to employment in a specialty received at a university, as well as factors of its motivation.Methods. A sociological survey of graduate students of ISMU was conducted using specially designed questionnaires.Results. It was revealed that more than 5 % of students do not plan to work on the received specialty after graduating from a medical university. Only every fourth respondent after graduation is going to return to his place of permanent residence, one of four intends not to return, and half have not yet decided on the choice of a further place of work and residence. Work with undergraduates about bringing them to the territory of the initial residence is organized by the administration of municipal entities and medical organizations poorly. Meanwhile, the requirements of graduates presented to a potential employer in terms of the level of wages and the creation of conditions for residence and professional activity are not overstated.Conclusion. Working with graduates and taking specific steps to implement their requirements is the most logical option for joint activities of medical universities, health authorities, administrations of medical organizations and local self-government bodies to create favorable conditions for securing young professionals in their chosen field of activity.
