“…The importance of social support has been con rmed in other studies. [17][18][19] It appears that the results of this study are contrary to the results of Bashirian's study reporting that the effect of change in the social environment was not signi cant for hookah smoking. [18,20] The participants in this study who lived in a suburb of the city and were from the middle class of the society are economically poorer, probably they have raised the need for social support in terms of family and friends as important and more effective.…”

“…[17,23] In Mousali's study, which investigated qualitatively the cessation of smoking addiction, the emotional transformation was the most important predictor in smoking cessation. [19] The fourth construct is related to changes in the physical environment and includes changes in the accessibility, convenience, and availability of accessible resources. It seems reasonable that the participants in this study should not expect much from available resources and facilities due to their living conditions, which are considered marginalized and deprived areas, and as a result, this construct is less important than other constructs.…”

Background The present study determined the validity and reliability of the substance abuse prevention questionnaire based on the multi-theory model among the people of Yazd, central Iran. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical psychometric research was conducted on 391 Akramiyeh, Yazd residents using a systematic sampling method in 2021. First, a questionnaire was prepared based on the results of a qualitative study and the constructs of a multi-theory model, and its face validity was confirmed. Having collected the data, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were determined with SPSS using factor analysis, internal consistency, convergent validity, and Cronbach's α. Results The factor loading of all items was more than 0.5 and was in the desired range. The results obtained from confirmatory factor analysis based on parameter estimation showed that in all seven constructs of the questionnaire, the relevant items had a significant relationship with each latent variable (P < 0.001). All factor loadings were higher than 0.4 and Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated as 0.940 for the entire questionnaire. The highest factor loading (27%) was related to the construct of change in the social environment. Regarding substance abuse prevention behavior, the construct of participatory dialogue played a role by 9.58%, the constructs of emotional transformation by 7.98%, change in the physical environment by 5.95%, behavioral confidence by 3.3%, and practicing for change by 3.16%. Conclusion The substance abuse prevention questionnaire based on the multi-theory model has acceptable validity and reliability and can be effective in predicting factors and designing interventions aimed at preventing substance abuse among young people.

“…This model breaks down the complex health behavior change into two components of initiation and maintenance with three explanatory constructs for each of the two components ( Figure 1 ). This model has been used in qualitative [ 35 , 36 ], cross-sectional [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ], and experimental studies [ 41 , 42 , 43 ] with a variety of behaviors in different priority populations but has not been applied to understanding mammography screening behaviors. Therefore, the current study aims to utilize the multi-theory model (MTM) of health behavior change to explain the correlates of mammography screening in a sample of Asian American women between the ages of 45–54 years.…”

Globally, breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting women. The incidence of breast cancer has been growing among Asian American women. Mammography is a screening procedure that provides early diagnosis for the timely treatment to reduce premature mortality due to breast cancer. However, there are no national data available that summarize the rates of mammography screening among Asian American women. Some small-scale studies have reported low rates of mammography uptake among Asian American women. This cross-sectional study utilized the fourth-generation, multi-theory model (MTM) of health behavior change to explain the correlates of mammography screening among Asian American women between the ages of 45–54 years. A 44-item instrument was evaluated for face, content, and construct validity (using structural equation modeling) and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) and administered electronically to a nationally representative sample of Asian American women (n = 374). The study found that Asian American women who have had received mammograms in the past 12 months as per recommendations, all three constructs of MTM, namely, participatory dialogue (β = 0.156, p < 0.05), behavioral confidence (β = 0.236, p < 0.001), and changes in the physical environment (β = 0.426, p < 0.001) were statistically significant and crucial in their decision to initiate getting a mammogram, accounting for a substantial 49.9% of the variance in the decision to seek mammography. The study also found that the MTM constructs of emotional transformation (β = 0.437, p < 0.001) and practice for change (β = 0.303, p < 0.001) were significant for maintaining the repeated behavior of getting annual mammograms and were responsible for 53.9% of the variance. This evidence-based study validates the use of MTM in designing and evaluating mammography screening promotion programs among Asian American women aged 45–54 years.

Background Several studies have attempted to understand the link among drug addicts and suicidal ideation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with suicidal ideation in drug addicts based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Method This cross-sectional study was conducted with 2160 of drug addicts in private and public clinics for quitting addiction through methadone treatment in Shiraz city, Fars province, Iran from October 2018 to June 2019. Data gathering tools were a questionnaire on demographic characteristics, the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation and a questionnaire based on constructs of TPB. Data were analysed by SPSS 22 using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and frequency) and statistical tests (independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression). The significance level was considered 0.05. Results The mean age of the participants was 39.24 ± 11.92; 80.28% of them had a history of quit and 43.19% of them had a history of arrest and imprisonment. According to the results, 19.63% of the participants had suicidal ideation and 10.97% had a history of suicide attempt during their lifetime. The constructs of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intent predicted suicidal ideation in the subjects. Intent and perceived behavioral control constructs were the strongest predictors of suicidal ideation, respectively. In general, the studied variables predicted 54.8% of suicidal ideation. Conclusion The structures of attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control and intent predicted suicidal ideation in the drug addicts, so the theory of planned behavior will be a good framework for educational interventions to reduce suicide in them.
