The purpose of the current study was to explore the perspectives of drug users who are affiliated with Narcotics Anonymous regarding addiction, trends that precede treatment, and addiction treatment.

The research employed a qualitative approach and thematic analysis. The statistical population of the present study included all the members of the Narcotics Anonymous Association in Mehriz, Yazd. Nineteen of them were selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through in-depth semi-structured interviews, and data analysis was performed using the thematic analysis method.

The findings showed that substance users initially experience multi-layered helplessness (including social, family, economic, psychological, and physical helplessness). After this procedure, members of the Narcotics Anonymous Association gradually develop a desire to overcome addiction due to various factors (such as family reconstruction, mental recovery, economic concerns, fear of the future, and identity recovery. Treatment is then initiated to support them in their recovery journey. Finally, by participating in Narcotics Anonymous, individuals engage in community-based treatment (including self-awareness, acceptance of addiction, identification, strengthening of will, empathy, understanding, and building social capital).

Addiction is a complex process, and its treatment is carried out within the Narcotics Anonymous Association in response to this matter. Focusing on social dimensions, such as participation, support, networking, empathy, mutual understanding, commitment, belonging, and responsibility within the addiction treatment foundation of this association contributes to the continuity of treatment for individuals.

The purpose of this study was to meta-analyze the research conducted in the field of the role of NGOs in solving social problems. The statistical population of the study is all articles and dissertations done in Iran in this field in the years 1991-2019. Through research in databases, 104 researches were extracted and general information about them was provided in the next step to calculate the Effect size were selected only those researches that had been done quantitatively and by survey, the number of which is a total of 23 articles (scientific-research) and dissertation. Findings showed that 29.8% of the research was done quantitatively and 70.2% was qualitative. Therefore, we are faced with the dominance of qualitative methods in research in this field. Social sciences (26.9%). According to the findings, environmental variables, women's empowerment, street children, etc., crime prevention, urban and rural development, security, and addiction have been among the most frequent variables in research in this field. The results of "effect size" statistics indicate that the highest effect size is related to the variables of crime prevention with a coefficient of 74%, then the variables of addiction, empowerment of women and children ... and the environment with coefficients of 45, 42, 41%, respectively. . Finally, in a general conclusion, it can be acknowledged that in this study, although according to the requirements of quantitative meta-analysis method, we have calculated the effect size, but in the opinion of the researchers, given that in most of the studies, with significant methodological problems And how to measure them, not choosing the appropriate statistical population, etc.), so we can not rely much on estimates of the size of the relationship, and therefore the size of the effects estimated in the present study, will not be very accurate.

IntroductionIn the contemporary era, demands in the field of women with the intellectual developments of the late Qajar era and distinct values that became more and more famous during the constitutionalism and found a concentrated and coherent form. Although this had the intellectual supports governing the constitutional process and had some supporters among intellectuals, especially men, among women, it can be the result of increasing their awareness, their prominent social presence in important events, and also supporting the constitutionalists in various forms. It is in this environment that more women found the courage to write and create literary and cultural works. Especially women's publications and press were among the most important areas of social activity and reflected the evolution of their thought.Alamtaj Qaimmaqami with the surname Jhaleh lived in this era and based on her situations, experiences and encounters with the real world, she wrote magnificent poems. His poems, like other texts written by women of this period, are the result of a progressive approach to women's issues and status. In addition to literary features, these poems are considered as texts full of information about the situation, demands and ideals of the progressive women of Iran, which are very valuable in a time when there is little knowledge of the thoughts and opinions of women. The methodical examination of these materials has made us more aware of the life of women during the time of Alamtaj (1883-1974) and includes important aspects of the condition of women and their common problems.PurposeThe research was conducted with the aim of identifying the status and social position of women at the beginning of the current century and coincides with the modernization of Iran, and it gives reliable findings about the social relations between the two sexes and the gender order.MethodologyThe content analysis was qualitative, which was realized with the help of document analysis and qualitative study of the verses of Diwan Alamtaj Qaim-maqami.At first, the poems of the aforementioned court were read completely and notes were taken, then to create content codes in qualitative analysis, the text was read repeatedly to achieve a complete understanding of the text. After forming the codes and finding the themes in the text and matching them with the concepts, the texts were grouped and classified based on the existing similarities and differences.FindingsInferiority, low social status, lack of independent identity of women, reliance on superstitious forces, forced marriage, divorce, widowhood, social isolation, violence against women, honor killings are some of the mentioned social problems. The poet also reflects the importance of inhumane actors in the lives of socially marginalized women by reflecting on their conversations with objects in the absence of compassionate human relationships, caring, and formal and informal social support. Ālamtāj 's social poetry is one of the rare women realistic texts that introduces us feminine perception and feelings in encountering social problems. Moreover, considering the issue of economic dependence on the husband, the sufferings which lead to weak reasoning power and self-confidence in women, she addressed women to exit strategies like solidarity and attempt to change the situation. Conclusion Objecting to the gender discrimination of women by enumerating the equal human nature of both sexes, paying attention to the lack of independent identity for women in introducing and referring to them, clinging to superstitious forces, magic in the impasse of the structure of social opportunities, forced marriage especially at a young age and hardships and suffering, Humanity of teenage women dissatisfied with this important in the last years of married life, unwanted pregnancy and torment of conscience caused by inconsistency between the opportunities, abilities and responsibilities of being forced to take on the role of mother, divorce, widowhood, self-inflicted social isolation or due to social rejection of the society and the local community. And as a result, the poverty of human supportive relations are all social problems of women in the age of Alamtaj.Addressing these problems and expressing women's feelings is one of the most important features of his poetry. In this way, we get to know the formulation of women's understanding and thoughts and the feelings corresponding to it in women's daily life. These poems are strong proofs of women's dissatisfaction and their non-acceptance of the situation and the claim that issues such as marriage at a young age, polygamy, unwanted pregnancy, violence against women and other such things are obvious, accepted and perhaps trivial for women in the past, have been violated severely. Instead, it reveals the demands of women and their ideals to change the situation and leads us to the historical importance of the issue of gender discrimination.

Priority setting helps maintain a clear focus, and according to the limitation of resources, it is necessary for reducing and controlling the burden of social problems better resource allocation. The present study aimed to identify and prioritize Iran's most critical social problems. This study was conducted in two steps. In the first step, a framework for classifying social problems was developed by reviewing the literature. Based on this framework, a list of social problems was prepared and categorized. In the second step, by studying the articles and books published in the field of social health, 20 experts in this field were selected and provided with the framework. Utilizing the Delphi method, the experts were asked to rank the mentioned list based on the three criteria including; prevalence, severity, and importance. Expert opinions were taken in three rounds. The country's social problems were categorized into three categories in order of priority. Although problems in society are numerous, the ten problems that have been assigned the highest priority in the present study are unemployment, corruption, income inequality, expensive housing, mistrust, poverty, reduction of productive investment, addiction, crime, and desperation. Planning for interventions and conducting social health research in the coming years should consider the aforementioned high-priority social problems that impose the most significant burden on society. The diverse social problems prioritized do not have exactly the same causes, consequences, and ways of control; therefore, identifying specific solutions to control them should be the next step in the process of social health planning.

Social problems as multidimensional phenomena in human society are the result of a dialectic between agency-structure. Iranian society is experiencing various social, cultural, and economic problems. The main purpose of this study is to review systematically the social problems of Iran. To gather the data, we employed secondary analysis in the period 2000 to 2020 with a sample size of 26 research documents. The findings revealed that the types of social problems can be grouped under three headings: A cultural anomie (undermining values and norms, flattery, cultural risky behavior, negative values, cultural conflict, extramarital affairs, and sexual deviation, social alienation), B. Social anomie (social disorganization, individualism, Social frustration, erosion of social capital, fear of crime, the spread of street fights, family violence, the spread of domestic violence, street harassment, social risk behavior, increase in drug use, driving offenses and c. economic anomie (distribution disorder of goods, unfavorable business environment, job security, increasing economic pressure, class gap, food insecurity, and economic instability).

The aim of this article is to introduce and analyze social problems in Iran as reflected in the Iranian cinema. The theoretical approach used to explain these issues is the theory of reflection with emphasis on Pierre Sorlin’s mirror theory. The application of this theory in the cinema leads us to the image of society and its social problems in the cinema. The main sources of this study include articles published in scientific journals in the field. These sources are valuable and trustable because they are scientific and research-based sources. Most of these studies are conducted using qualitative methods and techniques.Here, those articles that show studies of social problems in the cinema during the last four decades in Iran are collected. Then, using the method of meta-analysis and systematic review, the most important findings of these articles are summarized, categorized and analyzed.Finally, it was found that the image that Iranian cinema produces of social problems of Iran is an image appropriate to social reality. Although in general, some issues in cinema have become more prominent than reality and others have been ignored, the most important social issues found in social research have also been reflected in the Iranian cinema. Therefore, we could say that Iranian cinema is an approppriate media for understanding important social problems in Iran.

Ibn Khaldun, one of the founders of history and sociology, has been considered by many scholars in the world in recent centuries. The diversity of his subjects has attracted the attention of a wide range of thinkers and researchers in sociology, anthropology, history, economics, political science, educational sciences, geography, and demography. Many writings about his thought show the importance of this great Muslim thinker. But what has received less attention from scholars in Ibn Khaldun's views and works is his detailed discussions of social issues and harms. The present study, focusing on Ibn Khaldun's analytical approach to the study of social problems and harms that has focused on the situation of Islamic societies in the great geography of the Islamic world, with the Documentary Research Method and focusing on the text of his main work the “Muqaddimah” from the descriptive approach has been used to identify, extract and categorize the themes and categories related to this subject in Ibn Khaldun's thought.The results of this study show that seven major social issues and harms have been emphasized by Ibn Khaldun throughout the book, including: the issue of "Poverty", "Marginalization", "Social Welfare", "Employment and Livelihood", "Housing and Shelter", "Social Security" and "Crime and Delinquency". What emerges from Ibn Khaldun's analysis of social issues is his focus on the conceptual framework of Civil Science; That is, it interprets all social issues in relation to the development of human society on the scale of urban life.

This study was designed and conducted to explore social isolation and social problems of veterans' families from the perspective of spouses. To do so, 30 spouses of veterans living in Tehran were interviewed. Experimental phenomenological approach in analyzing interviews with veterans' wives revealed several main and secondary themes in their family life. Limited outdoor activities and being more at home, inadequate formal and informal social support networks lead to the isolation of veterans' families and increase the likelihood of social problems such as domestic violence, addiction and divorce. These results, while emphasizing the findings of previous research, contain an important point. Although the effect of the severity of injury on family life has been accepted, the results of the study revealed that the type of injury is a more important variable that determines the social role of the veteran and his interactions with family and his family in society.

  Jihadi management has positive characteristics and can be defined by specific boundaries with conventional management patterns in the world. Freedmen are among the jihadi leaders in the country and this manpower can be used to solve economic, cultural, social, healthcare, and medical problems of society.

The method of the present study was correlation and the study population included all freedmaen covered by the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs  (Bonyadeh Shahid) of Tehran. The sampling method of the present study was cluster sampling, and 284 freedmen were randomly selected as the research sample. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect the data in the present study, and the validity of the instrument was confirmed by experts, and its reliability was reported to be 93.4%. The statistical methods of correlation, regression, and path analysis were used to analyze the data using SPSS and LISREL softwares.

The results of the present study showed that the presence of freedmen in jihadi projects is respectively related to solving economic, cultural, social, and healthcare problems by 30%, 38%, 27%, and 21%, and the relationships obtained were at the level of (P <0.05), which were significant.

In general, it can be said that the presence of freedmen in jihadi projects can play an effective role in reducing economic, cultural, social, and healthcare problems at the management level in society.

Non governmental organizations (NGOs) as an important part of today world, have impressive role all over the world and also in Iran. Non-governmental organizations are considered an inseparable part of today's social life and an important basis of social capital. A non-governmental organization is a non-profit, citizen-based group that functions independently of government. NGOs, sometimes called civil societies, are organized on community, national and international levels to serve specific social or political purposes. Some NGOs rely primarily on volunteers, while others support a paid staff. Supporting NGOs as one of most important kind of NGOs try to improve vulnerable groups situation. Main question of research is that “what are obstacles against social problems familiarization insupporting non governmental organizationswhich help vulnerable groups?” Perspective of research is social constructionism which defines social problem as a solvable issue.

Main method of research is grounded theory qualitative method. Grounded Theory is an inductive methodology. It is a general method and systematic generation of theory from systematic research.  It is a set of rigorous research procedures leading to the emergence of conceptual categories. technics for data gathering are observation and semi-structured profound interview; 23 interview with NGOs members and observation of 34 social problems oriented NGOs in Tehran province.

Based on analytical findings, most fundamental obstacle against social problems familiarization is “limited impact”. This is the main pillar in grounded models. This grounded model formed by combination of several main categories around central phenomena which organized as causal conditions, context conditions, intervening conditions, Interactions strategies and Consequences. What leads to the emergence of such a challenge is, the Lack of legal backing and the lack of persuasive methods to claim making. Factors such as longevity, size, geographical scope, field of activity and thematic scope of NGOs, affect their main obstacle against social problems familiarization. NGOs social validity in public opinion and their relationship with governments have dual role; in some ways restrictive and in some ways facilitating. NGOs have often individual perspective to analyse social problems. On the other hand NGOs are accused of distorting realities by highlighting the critical dimensions of social problems.

In terms of constructivist, as the main theoretical basis for the research, the objective existence of harmful conditions does not in itself create a social issue. According to the constructivist approach, the social problem is not a structural problem that is almost unsolved or requires substantial and costly transformations. It is also a problem that can be solved in the general conviction and for which effective action is also in progress. In this view, social issues will be resolved with the intervention of individuals and groups of people. supporting NGOs Are one of these groups. From this angle, the problems that the NGOs are trying to eliminate or reduce are clearly considered a social issue. supporting NGOs try to transfer voice of vulnerable groups to society and have proper identifying and prioritizing social needs to move them to policy level. But Several challenges don’t let them to convince many people that the current problems require serious attention. So These obstacles prevents them to familiarize social problems and have role of the public prosecutor in addressing them as general and tangible issues.

Non governmental organizations (NGOs) as an important part of today world, have impressive role all over the world and also in Iran. Main question of research is that “what are challenges of social problems intervention to help vulnerable groups in supporting non governmental organizations?” Perspective of research is social constructionism which defines social problem as a solvable issue. Main method of research is grounded theory qualitative method with observation and semi-structured profound interview technics for data gathering; 23 interview with NGOs members and observation of 34 social problems oriented NGOs in Tehran province. Based on analytical findings, most fundamental challenge for NGOs intervention to improve vulnerable groups situation is “micro level and individual activities”. What leads to the emergence of such a challenge is, first, the weakness of NGOs in the rooting of social problems. The process of empowerment vulnerable groups in supporting NGOs is often short-term, cross-sectional and one-dimensional, and is not well-used local and native communities participatin. Factors such as longevity, size, geographical scope, field of activity and thematic scope of NGOs, affect their main challenge in intervention. Also, their actions do not eliminate the stereotype of the public about vulnerable groups as guilty and weak persons, and do not make a good event in improving social problems. finally, the result of NGOs activities in this area is not conducive to the social reintegration of vulnerable groups into the society and does not prevent their isolation and ejection.

Non-governmental organizations (NGO) are considered an inseparable part of today's world. Supporting NGOs as one of most important kind of NGOs that spread in Iran try to improve vulnerable groups situation. Main question of research is "what are the main social problems constructed by NGOs and with which technics do they constrauct the Social Problems?"

Main method of research is grounded theory. In this qualitative method technics for data gatheringare are observation and semi-structured profound interview; 23 interview with NGOs members and observation of 34 social problems oriented NGOs in Tehran province.

According to research findings, "child labor", "exploitation and abuse of children" and "marginalization", are the most important social problems in NGOs. Also "street children", "children living in impoverished areas" and "children deprived of education" are the main vulnerable groups who NGOs focused on them and seek to solve their problems. also some technics for social problems construction are "Tangible damage", "solving of micro dimensions of problems", "solving of critical dimensions of problems", "priority of new dimensions of problems", "Linguistic, Dramatic and Behavioral clame making", "Linking problems to personal and everyday life", "Wave attention to the issue" and "Emotional proximity to vulnerable populations".

NGOs try to show some social problems to society and addressing them as general, harmful and solvable issues. This act infact is construction and Highlighting social problems by NGOs. Non-governmental organizations as active social groups can interven in social problems and what they consider to, is a reflection of most important social problems and issues of society.

This article analyzes social issues considered and discussed in scholars' weblogs in Ilam province and intends to firstly identify the most important social issues which had been discussed by these bloggers and secondly study the way they projected and reconstructed these issues. This research has gathered, compiled and analyzed the social issues mentioned in blogs of Illam Province’s bloggers using a qualitative approach. All compiled information was analyzed and categorized using Nvivo Edition 8 software. Research data shows the subjects discussed were in the following order:  social issues (37%), economic issues (25.5%), cultural issues (22%) and political matters (15.5%). Most bloggers rightly focused on a few sociological social issues. They first pointed out that the described issues are products of the defective structure of the society.  Secondly, all various social issues are somehow interrelated to each other and thirdly many of these social problems and issues are resolvable.

The present study focuses the NGOs involved in social problems and examines their resilience and survival challenges with specific reference to the state. Theoretically, this study employs the grounded theory and empirically it uses the method of semi-structured in-depth interviews. The interviewees are 25 people who are active in the NGOs.
According to the research findings of this analysis, the NGOs encounter with crucial internal challenges including the insufficient monetary resources, the lack of social capital and common motives, and incomprehensive approach towards social problems. Furthermore, these research findings show that the most important external challenges imposed on the NGOs are mainly a matter of ‘communication’, either the communications within all NGOs or the NGOs’ communications with individuals, society and the state. Finally, the presence of the following determinants leads to further challenges in communication between the NGOs and the state: insufficient regulations for the establishment of the NGOs, insufficient coordination both within the relevant governmental agencies and within the NGOs, the NGOs dependency on the state both financially and non-financially, the lack of appropriate supervision mechanism and inefficient bureaucratic system of the state related to the NGOs activities.

Currently social problems are among the most important issues in Iran that have been occupying the minds of experts and academics. The consequences of social problems would affect individuals and society and can even threaten social security. In this regard, in 2012 the Second National Conference of Social Problems was held by the Iranian Sociological Association. It had accepted 650 abstracts of articles, that 93 of them were published in 9-volumes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse these published articles in various dimensions.
The present study is systematic review and it is an analysis of the selected and published articles of the Second National Conference of Social Problems. The study population consisted of a collection of 9-volume articles published by the Iranian Sociological Association and Agah Publications. In this study all of the 93 articles were evaluated. Articles were categorized and analyzed in several aspects and the final analysis was presented through aggregation of information.
Findings: In this study all of the articles were analyzed accurately according to factors such as the contribution of female authors; academic degree; specialties and academic fields; organizational affiliation of authors; financial support of organizations and universities; research units; geographic distribution of the study population; research methods; studied problems; used dominant theories; the protective and risk factors of social problems and finally the presented solutions for each category of problems. For example, findings show that sociology and social pathology were the most frequent (more than one third) among the disciplines. Only three articles were from research projects supported by organizations or universities, and the majority of studies (more than one third) selected Tehran as their geographic region.
The results of this study, while confirming the presence of numerous experts, show the minimum participation of some experts such as physicians, social workers and welfare professionals. Considering the national level of the conference, it was expected to see a fair distribution of the geographical distribution of the study population. The significant presence of academics at the conference (more than two third) can be considered as a strong point of the conference. The methodology of studies can be criticized, the major part of the studies applied quantitative method (about three quarters). However, due to the nature of social problems, as well as the multiplicity and being multidimensional in this area, qualitative studies can reveal subjective and the deeper dimensions of the issues. Used theories are to a large extent repetition of the same classical views. Finally, many of the problems and social issues, such as the tendency to single life, common in law partner )white marriages( extramarital affair, youth issues, degree orientation, white collar offenses, street violence, the consequences of imprisonment, and so on were not considered in studies.

Social problem issues in a transitional and developing society such as Iran are complex and multi-dimensional which need contemplation and consultation with scholars to understand them. Results of “National Survey of Values and Attitudes” in Iran indicate that respondents count drug abuse as third social problems in society after unemployment and inflation. Due to drug addiction in society, a meta-analysis was performed with the aim of identifying the most important factors influencing drug abuse in the research conducted. The research method of this paper is meta-analysis. Population of the study were almost all scientific papers with the subject of drug abuse in three journals of “Journal of Social Problems of Iran”, “Social Welfare Journal” and "Journal of Research on Addiction" which were published in 2001 and 2013. The results showed that most researches used cross-sectional, documents and secondary analysis as their method of study. The deviant behavior perspective (social control, differential association and criminal subculture) is the most important theoretical perspective that has been used to explain drug abuse. The results showed that effect size of variables of addicted friends (effect size= 0.33) and the attachment to family (effect size= - 0.27) has the greatest impact on drug abuse among studies reviewed.

This paper tries to study the status of tendency toward drug and alcohol abuse among university students and makes a comparison between native (from Tehran) and non-native (from other parts of Iran) who stay in dorms. This study is a secondary analysis which uses previous data from other grand researches that have been done among different universities in Tehran. According to the data based on these researches (Serajzade, 2002) and (Serajzade, ET, al. 2001) the eminence of native and non-native student are compared and analyzed. In this study the data is analyzed using SPSS through variety of tests such as T-test, Variation analysis, correlations and so on. The results show that among 28 indicators of different pathological problems relating to drug abuse, non-native students are more involved with drugs in 13 indicators while native students are more engage in 8 indicators and there are 7 indicators that engage both groups equally.

The study of human actions and their unintended consequences have been one of the fundamental concepts in social sciences research. The importance of studying the unintended consequences of an action is not solely due to the positive or negative consequences of the intentions of the actors of action, but the production of other sequential results that go beyond the predictive value of the actors. The use of land mines in the war is a result of targeted action among hostile forces, which results in unpredictable personal and social consequences that are widespread and unpredictable. The problems caused by negative consequences of this phenomenon are caused by various social institutions and costing enormous costs to the community. The purpose of this study was to investigate the unintended social consequences of landmines in the province of Kurdistan as one of the most polluted provinces of the country. The theoretical foundations of this research are rooted in the studies of Merton and Giddens. This is a mixed methods stud and the population of the study consisted of all civilians who have been exposed to some kind of mine injury in Kurdistan. Part of the data has been obtained through the documentation of the Janbazan Foundation, the Red Crescent and other resources, and part has been gathered through interviewing the individuals exposed to landmines. The results of the research showed that the use of anti-personnel landmines and their unintended consequences, not only take many lives but are also a source of migration, divorce and insecurity, and have caused serious damage to the environment, agriculture and tourism. All the damage caused by this phenomenon is still unknown and is expanding in terms of time, place and scopes. The results of the use of landmines and a serious response to this need require extensive and continuous cooperation between the civilians, the Government and international institutions to prevent the production, storage and use of anti-personnel landmines.

Due to increasing divorce rates among young couples in recent years, the paper using emic approach and social interpretivism aims to explore the experiences of divorce. Purposive sampling with maximum diversity and theoretical saturation is used for sampling. Thus, 25 divorced male and female aged 15-30 years old is interviewed in Tehran city. The findings in the four categories; reasons for divorce, attitude toward divorce before become divorced, challenges during divorce process, and life issues after divorce. The vulnerability of females in the divorce process (before, during, and after divorce) is more than males. Divorced females have experienced many emotional, economic, and social problems in new life after divorce. In general, results indicated divorce as process, multi-dimensional and socially constructed. Divorce is a multi-phase process; various determinants have shaped situations in before divorce (decision making), during divorce (action to divorce), and after divorce (coping with new life). In conclusion, divorce is not happened in a vacuum, but it happened in a socio-cultural contexts that affected the process and as well as the consequences of divorce.
