The purpose of this study is to develop an effective school 5-A-Day education program related to the dietary behavior of junior high school students. Quasi-experimental method is used to explore the effect of the treatments on junior high school students. Treatment activities in the education program are designed to have two sections as classroom activities and school-wide activities. Subjects were divided into three groups, two as experimental groups, and the other as control group. The first experimental group is treated with both classroom activities and school-wide activities; classroom activities were held first, and then followed with school-wide activities. The second experimental group is treated with school-wide activities only. The control group is treated without any activities. All the subjects were sampled from two junior high schools located in Chanhwang County. Questionnaire is used as the measurement instrument. Totally 306 out of 319 subjects are valid for statistical analysis. Results reveal the following information: 1. The mean scores of the knowledge, Prons, Cons, social support, and behavior about 5-A-Day in the post-test of the first experimental group are significantly different from those of the control group. 2. The mean scores of the Prons, social support, and behavior about 5-A-Day in the post-test of the second experimental group are significantly different from those of the control group. However, their mean scores of the knowledge and Cons about 5-A-Day are not significant. 3. The mean scores of the knowledge and Cons about 5-A-Day in the post-test of the two experimental groups are different significantly. But the mean scores of the Prons, social support, and behavior about 5-A-Day of the two experimental groups are not significant. According to the findings in this study, it is recommended that the health educator should design a 5-A-Day education program according to the strategies of behavior change, social cognitive theory, health communication theory, social support and other important items. Meanwhile, the education program should contain health concept promotion, school environmental changes, and media marketing campaign. |
