INTRODUCTION: The study examined the ontogenetic psychological mechanisms underlying the development of addictive behavior among young people in modern Ukraine. It aimed to identify how early-life experiences, personality traits, and sociocultural conditions contribute to addictive tendencies and behavioral patterns.
METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among pre-undergraduate students of Sumy State University. A structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, substance use, and psychosocial variables was administered. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests at a significance level of p=0.005.
RESULTS: The response rate was 86%. Men exhibited significantly higher rates of substance use and addiction than women (p<0.0001). Cannabis was the most frequently consumed substance (13%), followed by psychotropic drugs (3.8%). The average age of first use was 15 years. Early-life experiences, such as family environment and peer influence, were key predictors of addiction risk. A higher proportion of respondents with addictive behavior were occasional rather than constant users (32.9% vs. 20%).
CONCLUSIONS: The findings revealed that male gender and adverse early-life environments were major determinants of addictive behavior. The results emphasized the need for early preventive interventions, psycho-educational programs in schools and universities, and community awareness campaigns focusing on the socio-economic consequences of addiction.
