Abstract

Regarding the increasing methamphetamine use among the Iranian adolescents, our prototype willingness model based study focused on exploring cognitive factors related to methamphetamine use in a sample of adolescents in the Yasuj County, southern of Iran. This cross-sectional study was performed among 474 boy adolescent aged 13 to 19 years old. Participants were selected in simple random. Participants filled out a self-report questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 21 using bivariate correlations, and linear regression statistical tests at 95 significant level. 12.7 of participants were reported methamphetamine use in lifelong. Our findings showed, was high correlation between prototype and intention (r=0.657) and willingness (r=0.705). We recommend future studies in Iran should be focused on prototypes toward risky behaviors such as methamphetamine use among adolescents.
