Design of the “Social Worldviews and Attitudes Regarding Health: Sociocultural Health Code” Study

This article describes the design of the “Social Worldviews and Attitudes Regarding Health: Sociocultural Health Code” study. The primary proposed method for the study is an online survey consisting of 24 questions, primarily closed-ended. The study focuses mainly on interviewing students at vocational schools and higher education institutions in Russian regions. The age range of prospective study participants is 15 to 35 years. Answering the research questions of the study will help identify major social factors influencing attitudes of young people toward their health, their competencies, attitudes and behaviors, self-organization, and the degree of their trust in sociopolitical institutions and other citizens regarding health matters. This may prove useful in planning targeted policies to preserve the health and improve the quality of life in young people.
