“…We can assume that the association of youth subcultures with adolescents’ substance use operates via their peers being involved in the same youth subcultures [10]. At the same time, existing substance use patterns could possibly determine adolescents’ subculture affiliation via peer selection [27]. One way or another, having a subculture affiliation itself increases the risk of being involved in substance use, independent of the influence of peers.…”

Youth subcultures (hip-hop, punk, skinhead, techno scene, metal) are known for specific lifestyles, music preferences, shared values and behaviours of their members. The aim of this study was to assess the association between subculture affiliation and substance use (tobacco, alcohol and cannabis), and whether gender, family affluence and substance use by peers explain this association. Subculture affiliation was significantly associated with substance use (OR/95% CI: smoking 3.13/2.30–4.24; drinking 2.58/1.95–3.41; drunkenness 2.02/1.54–2.66; cannabis use 2.42/1.46–4.00). Only a part of this risk runs via gender, family affluence and peer substance use. Health promotion should be targeted in particular at adolescents with a subculture affiliation as they are at higher risk of substance use.

“…Positive attitudes toward drug use may facilitate initiation and use (Bohnert et al 2009; Buchanan and Latkin 2008), and we suggest that this risk factor is most salient among peers at the time of drug availability. In fact in some cases, social reinforcement in the drug-taking context may serve as the primary reinforcer, rather than the drug effect per se (Geckova 2005; Sussman 2005). In contrast, negative attitudes toward drug use among peers may protect against initiation of drug use.…”

“…Most drug use is initiated among peers during adolescence and young adulthood in social contexts (Geckova 2005; Ramirez et al 2012; Sussman 2005). There has been a recent surge of research investigating the effects of prosocial encounters within the drug context in animals that, for the most part, has shown social facilitation of drug self-administration and drug-CPP (see Table 5).…”

“…The first drug use almost always occurs in a social context and is sometimes motivated by social reinforcement rather than drug reinforcement (Geckova 2005; Ramirez et al 2012; Sussman 2005). The impact of positive social encounters within the drug context likely depends in part on motivation for such encounters, with higher motivation related to higher vulnerability.…”

Rationale Social factors are important determinants of drug dependence and relapse. Objectives We reviewed preclinical literature examining the role of social experiences from early life through the development of drug dependence and relapse, emphasizing two aspects of these experiences: 1) whether the social interaction is appetitive or aversive and 2) whether the social interaction occurs within or outside of the drug-taking context. Methods The models reviewed include neonatal care, isolation, social defeat, chronic subordination, and prosocial interactions. We review results from these models in regard to effects on self-administration and conditioned place preference established with alcohol, psychostimulants, and opiates. Results We suggest that in general, when the interactions occur outside of the drug-taking context, prosocial interactions are protective against drug abuse-related behaviors whereas social stressors facilitate these behaviors. By contrast, positive or negative social interactions occurring within the drug-taking context may interact with other risk factors to enhance or inhibit these behaviors. Conclusions Despite differences in the nature and complexity of human social behavior compared to other species, the evolving animal literature provides useful models for understanding social influences on drug abuse-related behavior that will allow for research on the behavioral and biological mechanisms involved. The models have contributed to understanding social influences on initiation and maintenance of drug use, but more research is needed to understand social influences on drug relapse.

“…Vries et al (2003) viewed parents' and friends' smoking habits as a predictor of future smoking among children. Madarasova-Geckova et al (2005) scrutinized the influence of socio-economic status, parents and peers on smoking behaviour of teenagers. Minkin and Dobrotvorskaya (2002) described the current state of spiritual-moral health of the youth and outlined relevant problems.…”

We consider the problem of preventing bad habits among adolescences. On the basis of existing theoretical approaches and the results of survey conducted by us at Kazan Federal University we identifies the factors which contribute to the formation of harmful habits among students. Adhering to the principle that it is always better to prevent a disease than to treat it, we pay careful attention to the prevention of harmful habits and to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among young people. In this article we present a pedagogical approach which enabled us to develop a system of practical measures for effective prevention and treatment of harmful habits among students. These measures can be practically applied both in humanitarian and technical universities. The important point in this article is that it is necessary to create an integrated system which includes various university structural units for the purpose of coordinating all kinds of activities aimed at preventing bad habits among students, encouraging them to pursue a healthy lifestyle and preserve their health. Based on the realization of axiological foundations of a healthy lifestyle, these activities should be performed systematically, providing a certain impact on students' structure of needs and their self-improvement processes. As a value health should be a priority in students' value system while self-improvement should be based on their spiritual-moral qualities. Students must be taught the skills of adherence to a healthy lifestyle, and we believe that our concept can be helpful in this respect.
