Abstract
The aim of this study was to explain the awareness of the family in dealing with high-risk relationships and related diseases and their impact on social welfare and development. The method of study is applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of data using grounded method (Strauss and Corbin, 1997). The statistical population consisted of all experts in the study area and Tehran parents. Twelve people were selected using purposive sampling, theoretical sampling, as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research tool included semi-structured interviews. For data analysis, three steps coding was applied, including open, axial and selective. Awareness of sexually transmitted diseases and their causal, contextual and intervening conditions has been the paradigm model of this research. Finally ,Early onset of high-risk sexual behaviors causes sexually transmitted diseases and substance use, increases the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and subsequent infertility, infertility, misconduct and adolescents' chronic and incurable diseases, and ultimately reduces the effective and efficient force of society. Therefore, it seems that this lack of awareness can affect the indicators of social welfare and impose high social costs on society and ultimately lead to adverse consequences at the levels of social welfare and development.
