Abstract
Risky behaviour is associated with a large number of factors. However, it is known that all adolescents who are exposed to the same risk factors do not resort to risky behaviour. Despite some studies determining the level of education of the parents as a protective factor, it is unclear how protective the parent's education is to lead the adolescent to risky behaviour. The aim of this study is to examine the level of parents' education in adolescents and to stay outside the school system because of dropouts, in terms of risk behaviour. To this end, the Investigation of Advanced Health and Development Investment was applied to children who were involved in a disputed crime by law (n=134) using the non-election sampling method. As a control group, the same inventory was applied to high school students (n=134) who were not conflicted by law and continuing their education. Smoking, alcohol and drug use as a risk behaviour in the data pool, and the dropout situation, mother and father's education levels have been assessed through logistics regression analysis. The mother's level of education was found to be statistically effective in reducing smoking. No impact on the mother and father's education levels in the use of alcohol and drugs has been detected. On the other hand, in all of the risk behaviours, it has been found that adolescents continue or drop out of school is not a meaningful variable.
