Materials and method: A true experimental design, utilizing a randomized controlled trial approach, to determine the effectiveness of an intervention based on the health beliefs model in altering the beliefs related to drug use among female high school students in Al-Diwaniyah City. The study will be conducted from October 10th, 2023 to January 4th, 2024.
Results: This study indicate that there were statistically significant differences among all aspects of the health belief model that are associated to drug use prevention.
Conclusions: This study concluded that the health intervention using the fitness trust model demonstrates the significance of drug use prevention and has a positive impact on female students' health beliefs.
