In the random sample of 762 males aged 30-59 years who had moved to Chukotka, the attitude towards their health, a physician, bad habits, and prevention of diseases was examined within the Programme on Epidemiology of Major Non-Communicable Diseases and Their Risk Factors among the residents of the Chukotsky Autonomous District. The non-aboriginal Chukotka's population having higher risk factors showed decreased self-appraisal of their health, inadequate awareness of their health and risk factors for diseases. However, the majority of the male population consider it useful to be surveyed, which should be borne in mind in implementing educational measures among these population groups.
