| Research Abstract |
We have inquired into the education for drug abuse and AIDS prevention. Its investigations are based on the behavioral studies. They are basically motivated to pursue the effective method to prevent AIDS by the surveillance of Northern Thailand, Okinawa and Saitama.
The subjects are about 1,000 students and their parents in primary and secondary schools of Thailand. The Japanese are about 10,000 subjects that consist of the students and their parents. Their knowledge, attitude and behavior toward AIDS and drugs had been scrutinized. As a result, we summarize the following five arguments and findings.
1.The spread of AIDS in Thailand and its background
2.Education for condom and present condition of health instruction
3.The influence of traditional sense of values and attitude toward AIDS prevention
4.The interrelationship between drug abuse and AIDS and the related health education system
5.Multivariate factor structure on AIDS knowledge, attitude and behavior
These arguments elucidates that Thai adults' behaviors, which are related with AIDS and drug abuse, are highly influenced by local custom and traditional sense of values. Hence, the short term education run in public health is expected to bring about and actually brought about least improvement in this sphere. In contrast, the school health education enabled to raise the adult condom usage rate from 0% range to 10%. However, no sooner had the school health education weakened because of the declining tendency of AIDS epidemic than the condom usage rate fell to almost 0%. This phenomenon endorses the importance of the continuous school health education. School instruction of drug abuse is also effective. These problems are also related with juvenile delinquency. This study explicates that knowledge, attitude and way of thinking underlies these problems by using the multivariate analysis and the Item Response Theory.
