Abstract

Purpose The authors focused on preventing lifestyle-related diseases among schoolchildren on the basis of health surveys with blood examinations and questionnaires on lifestyle in collaboration with parents, YOGO teachers, and public health nurses. The present study purposed to evaluate this approach using the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model.<br/>Method The authors inquired of schoolchildren's parents their awareness of their children's health through health surveys of their children. Additionally, changes in the role of YOGO teachers and public health nurses before and after our attempt were assessed. The significance and problems with our approach were then evaluated based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model.<br/>Results Based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model, it was clarified that, for prevention of lifestyle-related diseases among schoolchildren, health surveys with blood examinations and questionnaires on lifestyle increased parents' interest in their children's health. On the basis of the results of health examinations, the role of YOGO teachers changed from leading figure for general health education to supporters of health promotion for individuals, with provision of health education classes in schools for this purpose. The role of public health nurses also changed from providing health education at the request of schools to supporting families to improve their lifestyle, including that of their children.<br/>Conclusions In collaboration with children's parents, YOGO teachers and public health nurses, the present approach to prevent lifestyle-related diseases of schoolchildren on the basis of health surveys has advantages for increasing interest in schoolchildren's health, and should be useful for health promotion.
