The aim of the study is to construct a typology of the population of the Republic of Mordovia according to the indicators that determine the risks of drug addiction (perception of proximity to drug users and perception of drug availability). The first stage is using cluster analysis. The second aspect of the goal is to identify socio-demographic factors that affect belonging to the types found (regression analysis). The results of the analysis revealed three groups of the population of the Republic of Mordovia aged from 14 to 60 years: a “low-risk” cluster, an “intermediate” cluster, and a “high-risk” cluster. At the second stage, the socio-demographic characteristics of the groups are found out. Men are more likely to include into the cluster oflow-risk and high-risk drug use. Getting into a low-risk cluster is more influenced by living in rural areas.
