Hygienic features of the employment of teenagers living in four regions of the Russian Federation (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Omsk and Pskov) have been studied. Regional peculiarities in the prevalence and structure of employment are established. It is confirmed that work in adolescence can have a negative impact on lifestyle and health. In the group of working adolescents, there is a higher prevalence of behavioral risk factors (smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs, lack of sleep, etc.). Adolescents with work experience have lower health indicators. The analysis of relative risk (RR) and etiologic fraction (EF) showed that the higher health risks are for adolescents who work continuously throughout the year.
