• Laboratory of healthy lifestyle formation among students conducted a survey, the object of the study being first-year students. The study was conducted in three higher educational institutions of pedagogical orientation in different regions of the country. Students' opinions and views were studied as well as their actual behaviour from the point of view of healthy lifestyle. Using sample survey 1187 students aged 17-19 were interviewed. It was indicated that notwithstanding the majority of students are well aware of negative health effects of alcohol and drug abuse, tobacco smoking, the necessity of physical activity, rational nutrition this knowledge is far from conviction and is of a declarative nature. The low level of health culture among students is being manifested both in the knowledge and in the behaviour which is in need of substantial correction. On the basis of findings and taking into account the specific character of students audience the laboratory has worked out and tested the new forms of influencing the audience which are included into the educational process.
