Abstract:
Background

Drug addiction is known as a health, therapeutic, and social problem of the recent century. Recent studies have shown that young people have little resistance against drugs, but they have the ability to understand and accept the risk of using drugs. This study has been done among students to determine the preventive behaviors of drug addiction based on the health belief model.

Methods

This study is a descriptive-analytical study, which was performed among 224 male students in four high schools in the Boroujen region. In this study sampling was performed randomly in several stages and it used demographic variables based on the health belief model parts (perceived benefits, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, self-efficacy and cues to action) toward preventive functions of addiction and drug abuse. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS software 18 and descriptive and inferential test.

Findings

The findings of this study showed that, there is a significant difference between the obtained scores of health belief model parts and preventive behaviors of addiction and drug abuse. Moreover, there is a significant correlation between the factors of students, their fathers’ education and their knowledge (P = 0.001). There is also a significant correlation between the factors of how to express their problems and preventive behaviors of drug abuse (P = 0.002).

Conclusion

The findings of this study, like other similar studies showed that awareness of factors related to prevention of addiction and scores of the health belief model constructs in the students can significantly affect their preventive actions.
