Abstract: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre and post-test using compared groups to investigate the effects of a teenage pregnancy prevention program involving family participation. The sample group consisted of middle school students in Si Mueang Mai District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. The participants were selected and divided into an experimental group (n = 30) and a comparison group (n = 30). The experimental group received an 8-week pregnancy protection program with family participation program, while the comparison group received less training. The instruments consisted of the family participation pregnancy protection program, a questionnaire about teenage pregnancy prevention, self-efficacy perception of teenage pregnancy prevention, expectations for pregnancy prevention, and behavior toward teenage pregnancy prevention. The content validity (IOC) was 1, 1, 0.67 and 0.67, respectively. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of the questionnaires was 0.73, 0.75, 0.79, and 0.72, respectively. The data analysis compared the outcomes within the experimental group by a paired sample t-test and between the experimental group and the comparison group through an independent sample t-test with a statistical significance set at 0.05. According to the research, after completion of the program, there was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in scores between the experimental and comparison groups. After the experimental scored higher than before the experimental in terms of knowledge about teenage pregnancy prevention and self-efficacy perception of teenage pregnancy prevention. The intervening variable results in the before-after the experimental score showed no differences in terms of expectation for pregnancy prevention and teenage pregnancy prevention, The comparison group got higher scores in the before experiment than the after experiment in terms of expectation for pregnancy prevention and teenage pregnancy prevention behavior. The experimental group scored higher than the comparison group in terms of knowledge about teenage pregnancy prevention, self-efficacy perception of teenage pregnancy prevention, expectation for pregnancy prevention and teenage pregnancy prevention behavior. Public health personnel or teachers can apply this program as a practical guideline for preventing teenage pregnancy by involving families. It can be developed into a public health policy and encourage families to play a greater role in other activities with students. This will lead to sustainable prevention of teenage pregnancy in the future.
