The purpose of this quasi- experimental research was to compare the mean score of knowledge about diabetes and health behavior of people at risk for diabetes who received a health behavior change program before and after the experiment. The sample group consisted of people at risk for diabetes in Watsing district, Chainat province. A purposive sample of 46 people was selected and divided into a comparison group and an experimental, 23 people in each group. The comparison group received normal care. The experimental group received a health behavior change program for 12 wks. The tool using for the experiment was the health behavior change program. The tools used to collect data were a diabetes knowledge assessment form and health behavior questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and t-test. The results showed that
1. The experimental group had a higher average score of knowledge about diabetes after receiving the program than before receiving the program and was significantly higher than the comparison group at the .01 level.
2. The experimental group had a higher mean score on health behavior after receiving the program than before receiving the program and significantly higher than the comparison group at the .01 level.
Therefore, promoting knowledge about diabetes and health behavior among people at risk for diabetes should emphasize changing health behaviors according to the 3Aor 2Sor principles to reduce the chance of developing diabetes and create good health behaviors.
