The majority of previous studies found that among the conditions that can cause or exacerbate high-risk behaviors are low quality of life, academic decline, psychological distress, negative mental health, anxiety, depression, and stress (Abbasi and Panah-Anbari, 1380; Nikbakht Nasrabadi et al.
Thus, in this research, the influential factors that can play a constructive and significant role in prevention have been investigated, and an appropriate answer to the question of whether self-esteem can play a strong mediating and protective role in students' quality of life and the emergence of high-risk behaviors has been examined.
