Based on the reports of Republic Narcology Dispensary on the prevalence of substance abuse disorders among children and adolescents in 2013-2018, the authors analyze the structure and dynamics of alcohol, drug, and toxic substances pathologies. The most common form of substance abuse disorders is alcohol abuse. The role of age-related psychophysiological features of brain functioning, mind and behavior of children and adolescents is revealed, which serve as risk factors for addictions. A universal biopsychosocio-spiritual strategy for the prevention of all forms of self-destructive behavior is proposed.

Key words: prevalence of alcoholism, drug addiction, and substance abuse. Children and adolescents. Age-related features of psychophysiology.
