Annotation	The report presents partial results of analysis of risk behavior in adolescents. It focuses on the effect of selected characteristics of the family environment, such as conflicts with parents, addictive behavior of the parents and family dysfunctions, on the development of risk behavior. 1635 adolescents were included in the study. The results confirm the influence of some characteristics of the family environment on the development of risk behavior, in particular direct influence of parental smoking on the child's smoking behavior. Indirect influences with the most distinct impact on risk behavior include conflicts with parents and certain conditions that negatively influence opportunities for contacts of the child with the mother due to employment or hospitalization.
