Youth and Drugs (ULS+)

As part of the Project Capacity Building for Lifespan Focused Substance Use Disorder Research in Ukraine, the Foundation developed an electronic research questionnaire and translated, adapted and licensed the English-language diagnostic tools used in this study.

Monitoring the spread of addictive behavior among young people in Kharkiv "Youth and Drugs" has been carried out by sociologists of the Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs together with the Sociological Association of Ukraine since 1995. Since 2017, in parallel with the traditional face-to-face survey technology, Internet survey technology has been used. Only two regular monitoring studies of addictive behavior among young people are conducted in Ukraine: in the age group of 15-16 years it is carried out within the framework of the international project ESPAD, and among young people 17-25 years - within the Kharkiv regional project "Youth and Drugs".
