The paper outlines the scientific bases for hygienic rationalization of adolescents' vocational training to make their adaptation to vocational and production conditions better, to promote their health and prepare for their original work at an enterprise. A systemic approach has been applied to the solution of the hygienic problems in adolescents' vocational training wherein the vocational and production setting is regarded as a system of professional and production factors, whereas the adaptation to the setting is considered to be a system of physiological mechanisms maintaining the functional status and working ability of pupils during vocational training. This approach covering a wide range of the problems stated and solved has been the first to reveal the mechanisms and trends of interaction between the growing organism and vocational and industrial factors, improve the scientific bases for the vocational training of adolescents, as well as to substantiate a set of hygienic recommendations and introduce them into vocational training and industrial process of a vocational school.
The paper deals with the scientific prerequisites for a physiomedical professional consultation as an important prophylactic measure to promote the adolescents' health during vocational training and work. Great emphasis is laid on a comparatively new aspect of professional orientation--physiophychological professional consultation whose goal is to establish their professional fitness due to individual physiological and psychophysiological features of the body and due to the level of development of professionally significant functions and qualities. The paper also gives the data on the basic regularities of ontogenetic development of the leading professionally significant functions and qualities in schoolchildren aged 12-15 years. In addition , it proposes new approaches to making a professiogramme for physiomedical professional orientation and to developing a nomenclature of professions.

The separate and combined effects of participation in a health careers program and of parental support for a health career on young people's interest in a health career were examined. Twenty-seven eighth graders participating in a health careers orientation program were matched by sex, race, and parental education with 27 eighth grade nonparticipants, and personal interviews were then conducted with students in both groups. Both program participation and parental support were found to be significantly related to two measures of the students' interest in a health career. One measure was of the students' interest in general health-related careers. When program participation and parental support were each studied with the other factor controlled, it was found that parental support had a greater effect when program participation was absent. An analysis of various participation-support combinations revealed that when neither participation nor parental support was present, the students' interest in a health career was considerably less than if one or both were present.
