Socio-pedagogical prevention of addictive behavior among students

Introduction. In modern pedagogical science, there is a contradiction, which lies in the fact that, on the one hand, researchers pay a lot of attention to the problem of the growth of addictive behavior of young people, and, on the other hand, practice shows a steady increase in all types of addictions. Theoretical analysis. The study of scientific and pedagogical literature allows us to outline the strategy and tactics of experimental work and to form the necessary starting points on which the main directions for improving the socio-pedagogical prevention of addictive behavior of students will be based. Еmpirical analysis. An analysis of the implementation of socio-pedagogical prevention of addictive behavior among students revealed that the vast majority of teachers who are curators of student groups are not ready to implement the prevention of addictive behavior of students. The survey revealed the main reasons that make it difficult to prevent the addictive behavior of students. Among all types of psychoactive substances, it is most difficult for young people to give up smoking; there is a loyal attitude towards alcohol consumption. Conclusion. The levels of addictive behavior of students indicate unwillingness to refuse the offer of chemical addictions from the society. The responses received from teachers demonstrate that they need information education and organizational support to improve the effectiveness of preventive activities.
