<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objectives:</strong> The purpose of this study was to normalize and validate a questionnaire on effective life skills for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of addiction in an adolescent population (age >10 years) from Tehran, Iran. <br>
<strong>Methods:</strong> To prepare the questionnaire, several standard questionnaires were combined, including self-control, problem-solving, decision-making, and assertiveness questionnaires. Afterward, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed.<br>
<strong>Results:</strong> The questionnaire consisted of 40 questions on four main skills including 10 questions targeting one specific skill. The questionnaire was examined among 160 adolescents, aged ≥5 years, in different parts of Tehran, Iran. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was measured to determine its reliability. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated based on the ratio of internal variances; Cronbach’s alpha of all items of the designed questionnaire was above 0.7, indicating its acceptable reliability.<br>
<strong>Discussion:</strong> The questionnaire on effective life skills for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of addiction in adolescents had a completely novel design, which was established for the first time in Iran.
