This research aimed to develop and implement a culturally relevant learning management model to address alcohol consumption among youth in Khon Kaen province, Thailand. The study was conducted in four phases: identifying factors influencing youth alcohol consumption, developing and validating the S-CLE-NA learning model, piloting the model with a group of 50 target youth, and evaluating the model’s effectiveness, efficiency, and impact through stakeholder feedback. Findings from Phase 1 identified key social, economic, familial, psychological, and accessibility-related factors contributing to youth alcohol consumption. Phase 2 involved the development and expert validation of the S-CLE-NA model, which integrates civic duties, cultural values, and social living skills. In Phase 3, the model was piloted, resulting in significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior among participants. Phase 4 involved stakeholder evaluation, revealing positive impacts on youth behavior and community engagement. The study concludes that the S-CLE-NA model is effective in reducing youth alcohol consumption and promoting positive social behavior, and it offers recommendations for expanding and adapting the model in other contexts.
