Abstract

The article focuses on a study conducted to assess the prevalence of high-risk behaviors among female students at state secondary schools in Ahvaz City, Iran, in 2021. Researchers from Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences found that dangerous driving and drug addiction were the most prevalent risky behaviors, with average rates of 14.92 and 13.13, respectively. The study utilized random sampling and analyzed data using the Iranian Adolescents Risk-Taking Scale, revealing significant correlations between certain health check-ups and risky behaviors. The authors emphasize the need for preventive psychological and educational interventions to address these high-risk behaviors effectively. [Extracted from the article]
