control group and 41% in the intervention group) or go to
government public health facilities (55% in the control group
and 46% in the intervention group). Some use traditional
medical practitioners and private clinics. Regulated drugs
and medicine were used by 64% and 43% in the control
and intervention groups, respectively. One hundred percent
of both groups had access to health service facilities. For
the intervention group, the mean cost of self-care before
intervention was 604 baht/month and after intervention it
was 486 baht/month. For the control group, the mean cost
of self-care before intervention was 474 baht/month and
after intervention it was 484 baht/month. Regarding factors
reinforcing health risk behaviors, 38.6% of the control group
smoked compared to 25% of the intervention group; 47.7%
