Young people engage in risky behaviors unintentionally and these behaviors might be reduced or inhibited by preventative behaviors. Although adolescents' risky behaviors are known as unplanned or unintentional, preventative behaviors are intentional. The aim of the present study was to assess students' behavior intentions to avoid drug abuse.
This study was a cross sectional design that male high school students (n= 176) in Tehran, Iran completed a questionnaire assessing behavior intentions to avoid drug abuse, self-control, selfefficacy, perceived susceptibility, and negative attitudes toward drug abuse, peer resistance skills and substance abuse related behaviors.
Peer resistance skills, negative attitude toward drugs, perceived self- efficacy, and high selfcontrol were four predictors on intention against drug abuse. Moreover, students' educational status, interested in school and truancy and spending with friends were other predictors for intention against drug abuse.
Healthy behaviors are intentional. As a result improving behavior intentions to avoid drug abuse would act as a protective factor for preventing drug abuse among adolescents as well as preventing high-risk behaviors.
年轻人会无意间做出危险行为，而这些行为可能会通过预防行为得以减少或抑制。尽管青少年的危险行为被认为是无计划或无意的，但预防行为却是有意为之。本研究的目的是评估学生避免药物滥用的行为意图。
本研究采用横断面设计，伊朗德黑兰的男高中生（n = 176）完成了一份问卷，该问卷评估了避免药物滥用的行为意图、自我控制、自我效能感、感知易感性以及对药物滥用的消极态度、同伴抵抗技能和与药物滥用相关的行为。
同伴抵抗技能、对毒品的消极态度、感知自我效能感和高自我控制是抵制药物滥用意图的四个预测因素。此外，学生的教育状况、对学校的兴趣、逃学情况以及与朋友相处的时间是抵制药物滥用意图的其他预测因素。
健康行为是有意为之的。因此，提高避免药物滥用的行为意图将成为预防青少年药物滥用以及预防高危行为的保护因素。
