Materials and Methods: The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a one-month follow-up. The study population was all male students of the first year of secondary schools in Sanandaj City along with their fathers in the academic year 2023-2024; out of which 30 students were selected along with their fathers who were willing to cooperate through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups (15 people in either group). The parents of the intervention group underwent 8 60-minute sessions (two sessions per week) under the Satir family therapy protocol, and the control group did not receive any intervention, and the students responded to the Iranian Adolescent Risk-Taking Questionnaire by Zadeh Mohammadi et al.. Statistical data analysis was performed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: The findings of data analysis showed that after the intervention, Satir family therapy approach had a significant effect on improving high-risk behaviors (f=24.21, η=0.370, p<0.001) among first-year high school students (p<0.001). Moreover, these positive effects remained stable during the follow-up period.
Conclusions: According to the results, it is recommended that the Satir family therapy group training package be used as an effective method in educational courses in schools and counseling centers to improve high-risk behaviors and their components.
