Abstract

This quasi-experimental research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a desirable health behavior modification program for working-age individuals, focusing on body weight, body mass index, and four specific health behaviors. The sample consisted of 45 working-age participants. The tools utilized in the study included a manual for the health behavior modification program, a health data record form, the Sasuk Aun Jai Challenge application developed by the Department of Health, and a health behavior modification project data record form. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. The study revealed statistically significant differences in body weight (P<0.001) and BMI (P<0.001) before and after participation in the health behavior modification program. Significant improvements were also observed in the following health behaviors: Consumption behaviors (P<0.001), Physical activity behaviors (P=0.031), Oral care behaviors (P<0.001), and Sleeping behaviors (P=0.022). These findings indicate that the program effectively improves health behaviors among working-age individuals
