This study investigated the epidemiology of drug abuse among high school students in Kerman.
This was a cross-sectional study on a randomly selected sample of 652 first and second grade high school students (256 boys, 396 girls) in Kerman. They were informed that their answers would be classified and nameless before they filled questionnaires. Schools and classes were selected using stratified sampling method.
From total 652 students participated in this study, 39.2% (256) were boys and 60.7% (396) were girls. Most of the students had information about opium (70.7% of boys and 79.8% of girls), and then alcohol (55.9% of boys and 53.9% of girls). Most offered substance to the students was alcohol (25% in boys and 12.4% in girls). The most effective encouragement for using drugs was through their friends (39% in boys, 16.9% in girls). The most used drug was alcohol among boys (11.4%) and sedative tablets among girls (12.2%). Boys preferred to use drugs in wedding ceremonies (11.3%) but girls proffered their houses (4.8%).

The results of this study indicated dangerously increase of drug abuse among teenagers, who are the future of the society. If these results could be generalized, authorities must think of serious solutions for this rising problem.
本研究调查了克尔曼市高中生药物滥用的流行病学情况。
这是一项对克尔曼市随机抽取的652名高一和高二学生（256名男生，396名女生）进行的横断面研究。在他们填写问卷之前，告知他们答案将被分类且匿名。学校和班级采用分层抽样方法选取。
在参与本研究的652名学生中，39.2%（256名）为男生，60.7%（396名）为女生。大多数学生了解鸦片（男生70.7%，女生79.8%），其次是酒精（男生55.9%，女生53.9%）。向学生提供最多的物质是酒精（男生25%，女生12.4%）。使用毒品最有效的诱因是通过他们的朋友（男生39%，女生16.9%）。男生中使用最多的毒品是酒精（11.4%），女生中是镇静药片（12.2%）。男生更喜欢在婚礼仪式上使用毒品（11.3%），而女生更喜欢在自己家中（4.8%）。使用毒品的首要原因是与不良朋友交往（29.4%），其次是家庭问题（21.4%）。
本研究结果表明，在作为社会未来的青少年中，药物滥用现象呈危险的增长趋势。如果这些结果能够推广，当局必须针对这一日益严重的问题想出严肃的解决办法。
