Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of activity management model using transformative learning theory (TLT) and transtheoretical model (TTM) for reducing alcohol drinking behaviors of undergraduate students. The samples used in the research were undergraduate students with alcohol drinking behavior at the hazardous level from AUDIT (Alcohol Use Identification Test) assessment of the World Health Organization (WHO). They were selected by the purposive selection method. There were 60 voluntary students participated in this study and divided into 2 groups, 30 students in the experimental group and 30 students in the control group. Both groups showed similar average alcohol drinking behavior. The tools used in the research were 10-activity management model in 6-week trial. In addition three forms of knowledge, attitudes and alcohol drinking practice were assessed. Data in the pre-trial and post-trial stages were collected. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation. The differences of reducing alcohol drinking behaviors average scores of the experimental group and the control group by using t-test.
The results of the study showed that activity management model using TLT and TTM for reducing alcohol drinking behaviors of undergraduate students resulting differently in terms of knowledge, attitude between the experimental group and the control group with statistical significance at the level of .05. This model using TTL and TTM with 10 activities had an effect on reducing alcohol drinking behaviors of experimental group.
