Research Abstract	Comparing measurement items of the specific medical examination to those of one year ago, we evaluated effects of the health instruction program carried out meanwhile. The health instruction according to the specific program prescribed by Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare gave no significant effect on measurement items. On the other hand, measurement items were improved when the stage of behavioral change advanced, and turned worse when the stage retreated. We also made URICA (University of Rhode Island Change Assessment)-32 Japanese edition, the questionnaire which objectively estimates the personal stage of behavioral change needful for the health instruction program based on the transtheoretical model.
