Abstract

Background: High-risk behaviors are increasing among young adults worldwide. We aimed to identify university students’ subgroups on the basis of High-risk behaviors and to assess the role of age, living alone, religious beliefs, and parental support in the membership of specific subgroups. Study design: A cross-sectional study Methods: The study was conducted in Bushehr (the south of Iran) from November to December 2016. The sample included 977 university students selected through random sampling. The data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Then, Latent class analysis was used to classify the students. Results: Totally, five latent classes were identified as follows: low risk, high risk, somewhat low risk, hookah user, and very high risk. Notably, 7. 7% and 2. 5% of the students belonged to high risk and very high risk classes, respectively. The results suggested the protective effect of familial support and religiosity on High-risk behaviors. Conclusions: This study indicated the co-occurrence of High-risk behaviors. The findings can be used to plan and evaluate interventions by considering risk factors and protective factors in universities.
