Abstract
Background & Objectives: Changing the pattern of mortality gives important perspective of health determinants.
The aim of this study is to detect location and time of mortality pattern change in country using statistical change
point method during 1971-2009 Years.
Methods: We assume for years before and after 0 k ,
t y has a Poisson distribution with means 0
l and 1
l ,
respectively. We used several methods for estimation change point in real data by assume Poisson model.
Results: Using two simulated and real data analysis showed that the change point has been occurred in year
1993 and this confirmed by all methods.
Conclusion: Our findings have shown that the change pattern of mortality trend in Iran is related to improvement
of health indicators and decreasing mortality rate in Iran.

Data collection was performed suing the Woodworth Personal Data Sheet (WPDS), and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test.
Results: The finding showed that the prevalence of behavioral problems in the total sample, and middle and high school students was 19.82, 22.72, and 17.1%, respectively. The prevalence of behavioral problems was higher in boys versus girls, is the middle school versus the high school, and in urban areas versus rural areas. The aggressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder – Psychasthenia had the highest and lowest prevalence in both the middle and high school students, respectively. The educational level of students, parental education, parental divorce, parental death, and family income had significant relationships with behavioral disorders.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The current study was conducted to assess factor structure, validity, and reliability of the Persian version of the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT) among drug abusers in many city of Iran. It also assessed the DUDIT scores of a number of demographic factors.
Methods: The LDQ underwent forward translation to to Persian abackward translation to English. Furthermore, it was compared with the original scale. We made essential changes after it was used by 20 participants. Two hundred and eighty one drug abusers from prisons, dormitories, and rehabilitation camps completed the questionnaire. A demographic questionnaire as well as the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT), Severity of Dependence Scale (SDS), and Leeds Dependence Questionnaire (LDQ) were used to collect data. Methods used for data analysis included Confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, Guttman split-half coefficient and convergent reliability.
Results: Findings supported the unidimensional structure of the DUDIT. The Cronbach’s alpha and Guttman scale score were 0.81 and 0.68, respectively. The convergent validity through calculation of the correlation coefficient of the DUDIT with LDQ and SDS was 0.61 and 0.46, respectively. History of drug abuse in the family, residence in rehabilitation camps, taking several substances simultaneously, and use several methods of drug abuse simultaneously obtained the highest score in the DUDIT.
Conclusion: The Persian version of the DUDIT has suitable psychometric properties in drug abusers. It is important to pay attention to the demographic factors affecting drug use disorders for prevention and treatment plans.
