| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of types of smokeless tobacco use between students in the city of Chabahar. A total of 105 students were selected from the schools of Chabahar city. The sample size was calculated using the G*Power software. For a questionnaire by the test-retest exam for knowledge and attitude structures, the reliability of the test (Pearson correlation coefficient’s) was 98% and 94%. The Cronbach alpha of these structures was about 74%. The CVR for these structures was 93% for knowledge and 88% for the structure of the attitude. Data was analyzed using the SPSS16 software. In this study, 14 students (13%) had a history of previous use and 48 students (45.7%) reported having had tobacco use at least once, 30 days before studying. The Pearson Correlation Test indicated a significant relationship between smokeless tobacco use with the family number (-0.224), mother's literacy (0.219), and father’s literacy (0.224). The number of smokeless tobacco users who had consumed at least once in the last month of the study were Pan 26 (24.8%), Gutkah 9 (8.6%), and Biti 5 (4.8%). The results of the study show that the prevalence of smokeless tobacco use in students around the city of Chabahar is high. | en |
