Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Substance abuse is of great concern to health issues worldwide, that typically initiated during adolescence, and it usually increases the likelihood of future physical, behavioral, social, and health issues. The Behavior Change Wheel can used as a practical and effective way of delivering real behavior change among adolescent's substance abuser. The aim of study was to effect of educational program by using behavior change wheel model on knowledge, behavior and involvement in substance abuse among adolescents.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Educational Program by Using Behavior Change Wheel Model

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The BCW model includes three layers: the behavior system, intervention functions, and policy categories, with the last not being applied in this study. The research was structured into four phases: assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Phases of the Study Assessment Phase: Researchers introduced themselves to parents and adolescents through personal interviews, explaining the study's significance. They collected demographic data in the forensic and toxicology department, using various tools to assess adolescents' behaviors before the educational program.

Planning Phase: A tailored BCW model encompassed a wide range of educational interventions. The content
