Social health of the residents of the Yamal-Nenets autonomous region

Social health is formed in childhood and shaped by the surrounding environment: first by parents and the older generation, then classmates, colleagues, and the social, economic, political, geographical state of the country in which an individual lives. Social health is the integration of spiritual and physical states that ensures adequate adaptation to life in society and the environment. The main task of society is to minimize costs for society as a whole and for young people in particular. This obliges various departments, including the Department for Youth Policy, Physical Culture, and Sports of the Administration of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, to seek out special educational processes and new methods of working with young people to prevent spiritual, moral, mental, and physical degradation while contributing to the formation, preservation, and improvement of the personal health of every young person. There is an obvious need for in-depth studies of the formation of the health of the younger generation and the search for new criteria for health assessments and prognoses and new preventive and corrective technologies to support the management of the social health of young people. A sociological survey of residents of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug was carried out via a questionnaire consisting of a block of questions focused on identifying social health: values, self-esteem, relationships with parents, assessment of the state of the environment, attitudes towards one’s physical health, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
