The article presents the results of a questionnaire survey of students of a medical university during the period of distance learning and during the period of full-time education using electronic educational technologies. The necessity of using didactic digital materials in the educational process of a medical university is substantiated. The results of the questionnaire survey of junior students of Altai State Medical University are described in detail, both the positive and negative aspects of the use of didactic digital materials are indicated. The learning process using digital educational resources is described in detail. The article also provides a description of the educational process in a medical university, as well as substantiates the specifics of training using digital educational resources. CRCs are relevant when training future specialists. The use of such technologies will allow students and teachers to take a fresh look at the educational process. The advantage of didactic digital materials is: simplicity and ease of use. The electronic educational resource can be used from anywhere in the world and at any time of the day. The use of digital educational resources does not contribute to a complete rejection of textbooks and other literature. Digital resources are an addition to the educational process and will not replace live communication between faculty and students.

Introduction: One of the promising ways to improve the quality of life and life expectancy of the population is harmonization of the drinking regimen aimed at reducing the risk of the negative impact of increased levels of drinking water components and correcting the deficiency of a number of essential microelements. Objective: To conduct a questionnaire-based survey of young people living in the Altai Region and adjacent territories to determine the proportion of males and females who consume bottled water, taking into account added essential trace elements, duration of regular use, and the approximate volume of general water consumption. Materials and methods: The study involved 2,068 people, including 1,534 women and 534 men with the mean age of 20.7 ± 2.3 years and 20.6 ± 2.1 years, respectively. The survey was conducted during the second half of 2022 and the results were analyzed in January 2023. Results: The statistical frequency analysis showed that the structure of bottled water consumption in the young men did not differ from that in the whole sample and the women. The majority of young people (82.0 to 83.5 %) of both sexes actively used bottled water for drinking purposes, and 8.5 to 12.2 % of them consciously chose bottled water with added essential trace elements. The median time of constant bottled water consumption among all the respondents was 5 years with the first and third quartiles of 1 and 10 years, respectively. A statistical relationship was established between sex and the volume of water consumption: the young women were prone to consume less while a large proportion of young men was found to consume more water than required for optimal hydration. Conclusions: Ensuring proper drinking regimen is an important task for health maintenance of young people, which should be addressed through creation of specialized health schools on the basis of regional centers for prevention of non-communicable diseases and/or disease prevention departments (offices) of medical institutions.
