Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption in regions of Thailand with a high risk of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), involving 744 participants through a multi-stage sampling method.
- Results indicated that the prevalence rate of FV consumption was low, at 11.30 per 100,000 people, with a majority consuming FV only 1-3 days per week, despite having good knowledge about its health benefits.
- The study concluded that to reduce CCA risk, organizations should launch awareness campaigns to promote the importance of increasing FV intake in the community.
Objective: This study aimed to develop a model for promoting fruit and vegetable consumption in Thailand's high-risk population for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Methods: Action research was used as a guiding framework for model development. Participants were divided into groups for process development and evaluation.
Introduction/objective: To examine the effects of applying social marketing and Health Belief Model (HBM) in preventing cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in high-risk areas of Thailand.
Methods: About 2 randomized high-risk areas of CCA from multiple-stage sampling were assigned as study areas. The 150 participants were allocated to the experimental group, which received a 12-week health education program that applied social marketing and HBM.
