Objective: This study examined whether operational performance under the "Village Health Volunteer: Family Doctor Model" policy differed across generational groups among VHVs in Muaang District, Chaiyaphum Province. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 294 VHVs selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with acceptable content validity (IOC = 0.67–1.00) and reliability (α = 0.89) and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA. Results: The majority of VHVs (54.08%) belonged to Generation X. Most VHVs demonstrated good overall performance (86.39%), with basic public health service provision achieving the highest mean score (M = 3.59, SD = 0.70). Operational performance differed significantly across generational groups, F(3, 290) = 4.75, p = .003. Post hoc analysis indicated that Generation Y differed significantly from the Baby Boomer and Generation X groups. Conclusions: These findings suggest the need for generation-responsive strategies to strengthen VHV capacity, particularly in relation to digital adaptation and role-specific community health practice.</p> Wanna Suttiwan Nadchar Yanti Deachawat Krongsombut Copyright (c) 2026 Science and Technology for Emerging Innovations in Praxis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-05-06 2026-05-06 21 2 e293626 e293626
