Abstract

One of the risks that threats the health and security of students is their attitudes towards the consequences of drug consumption. The present study attempts to examine the effects of informative-preventing programs on increasing the students' awareness towards the consequences of drug consumption, changing their attitudes, and reducing their susceptibility to drugs. In an experimental study, using questionnaire, two groups, experimental group and control group, are evaluated by pre-test and post-tests. The results and findings analysed by SPSS, illustrate the significant effects of informative programs on changing the students' attitudes, increasing their awareness and reducing their susceptibility to drug consumption.
