Results. We found decreased health indicators of adolescents from risk group, a psychological condition in their families was unsatisfactory in a large proportion of adolescents: 13.3% was nervous, 11% was depressed, 7.6% was anxious, 8.8% s aggressive. The same pattern was observed in school conditions — 26.5% of adolescents indicated anxiety-nervous state, 16.2% — depressed, 9.8% — aggressive. Depth researches of into the causes of adolescents' psychological deterioration and their tendency to negative behavior revealed a number of biological and medico-social factors, which include complications of delivery, that was found in the first year of life, raising children in the family, organizing schooling, the prevalence of harmful habits, unhealthy lifestyles and unfavorable family conditions (single-parent families, alcohol abuse parents, child neglect).
