dc.description.abstract	The objective of this research was to develop and evaluate a set of life-skill techniques designed to prevent premature sexual relations among junior high school learners in Thailand. All participants completed a questionnaire that included demographic information and information regarding knowledge, attitudes, current sexual behaviours, and problem solving strategies. Information was obtained from school administrators, health education teachers, and counseling teachers regarding school regulations dealing with inappropriate sexual behaviours, such as kissing and inappropriate touching while in school and current regulations for inappropriate sexual behaviours of learners. Data from questionnaires and interviews were analysed. The results were then presented to stakeholders and developing a model to prevent or reduce premature sexual activities. A model was developed based on focus group discussions with stakeholders.	en
