A sample of 636 high school students was selected from among all such students attending schools in at-risk districts of Tehran, using cluster sampling method. Drug Use Questionnaire with 0.88 reliability and Risk Factors Questionnaire with reliability of 0.91, were used to collect data. Data analysis yielded the following factors as significant predictors of drug abuse: self-control, student attitude, social skills, family ties, school relationships, and parental attitude towards drug use. Thus, any intervention aimed at reducing drug abuse among this group of students must take these factors into account.
