Ways to improve programs for the prevention of addictive behavior
The article considers the problem of improving programs for the prevention of addictive behavior using methods of distributional semantics. Based on the obtained factors semantic proximity of a number of concepts of the category «prevention» the proposed methodological approach allows to identify uneven representation of components of programs of prevention of addictive behavior in educational institutions. To solve the problems of improving and evaluating the effectiveness of programs for the prevention of dependent behavior based on the use of methods of distributive semantics, at the first stage of the study a list of concepts reflecting the category of «prevention» was compiled on the basis of the theoretical and methodological analysis of medical, psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of preventing dependent behavior. In the second stage of the study, using the method of distributive semantics, an analysis was made of the semantic proximity of these concepts to the category of «prevention». The analysis of the obtained data allows to draw conclusions that in the programs of preventive maintenance of dependent behavior implemented in educational institutions, the concepts «diagnostics», «hygiene», «efficiency» and, consequently, adjacent components of prevention are not sufficiently represented. They reveal the genesis of dependent behavior, its causes and conditions, the characteristics of diagnostic procedures, taking into account the belonging to the target groups of prevention of various addictive risks, as well as assessing the effectiveness and effectiveness of preventive measures.
