Abstract
Objectives: Study of hidden populations such as Injection Drug Users (IDU) due to their exposing to high risk diseases and their roll in public health is very crucial. Conventional statistical methods for sampling these populations are not applicable because of the restrictions these populations are faced. Despite the introduction of respondent driven sampling as a successful method for sampling hidden populations, a limited number of studies using this method due to the lack of researchers’ knowledge.
Method: The main purpose of the current article is to study influential factors in managing and implementing respondent driven sampling method.
Results: Researchers should consider key points in designing coupons, defining amount and payment method of incentives, and preventing the irregular growth of the sample size for monitoring this sampling method.
Conclusions: Without taking into consideration the implementation and management, we can not expect to achieve representative samples from these populations by applying this sampling method.

Abstract
Objective: The present research aimed to investigate the sports facilities available in addiction treatment and rehabilitation centers in the country and the therapists’ views on the effect of exercise in improving the addiction treatment process. Method: This research was of a descriptive-survey type. The statistical population of the present research included addiction treatment centers, among which 363 centers were selected using the convenience sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. Results: According to the research findings, although all therapists in the addiction field believe that sports, particularly warm-up exercises, improves the conditions of recovery and stabilization of treatment, the conditions for combining treatment protocols with various sports methods were not practically available, and these centers did not perform effectively in this field. Conclusion: It is necessary to design standard sports exercises and activities to complement the treatment, and these two important things depend on modifying and increasing the training of the treatment and rehabilitation centers’ therapists and changing the strategies of the decision-making bodies, particularly the Ministry of Sports and Youth, the Ministry of Interior (Social Council), and the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education under the leadership of the Presidential Anti-Narcotics Headquarters.
