Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

就労している20・30歳代の独身男性は、不健康な生活習慣が指摘されているものの特定健診の対象には含まれておらず、保健師等の支援を得る機会が少ない。これらの世代の生活習慣に対する考え方の特徴に基づき作成された学習プログラムは、彼らがアクセスしやすく、身近な題材を取り入れ、自ら学べるものである。そのため、保健師等がポピュレーションアプローチとしてこれらを推奨することによって、彼らが実施し、健康意識の喚起につながる。この対象は、子育てを担う世代であるため、本学習プログラムは、子どもを含めた家族の健康生活習慣の改善に寄与する。
