Study of youth awareness about biohacking

This paper presents the results of a study on the level of awareness of young people (from 16-30 years old) about such a direction as "biohacking". The following tasks were set in the work: to analyze the scientific and methodological literature and define the concept of biohacking, use the best practices and advice of biohackers; find out what biohacking includes, if there are those who unconsciously use this area for their health; to find out the opinion of students about this direction, whether there are many among them who take dietary supplements, non-medicinal preparations, injections (not medicinal). According to the results of the study, a rather low level of awareness of young people about “biohacking” and its use for improving health was revealed. Analysis and generalization of the data allowed us to make an important conclusion that the majority of the surveyed students do not take any medications without the supervision of a doctor.
