Abstract
The development of a human health culture is a complex health issue that requires the establishment of a system of health education and training from an early age. The duration and complexity of developing a culture of healthy living require scientifically based, targeted and systematic interventions on adolescents to develop behaviours that ensure a high level of health culture. The lack of a common definition of a health culture limits its quantification and comparison. In the course of the work, a theoretical analysis of the scientific literature was conducted to study the diversity of approaches to the evaluation of the culture of adolescent health. The most common methods of studying health culture are given. It has been revealed that to assess the level of health culture from the medical point of view there is a certain lack of complex theoretical approaches and instrumental methods that could allow to assess the studied phenomenon taking into account all its diversity. A synthesis of experiences and analysis shows that there is a need to develop a universal system of evaluation of adolescent health culture with a high adaptive capacity and the ability to adapt to any group of adolescents.
