The study “Development of a Behavioral Change Model for Alcohol Consumption among Older Adults through Family and Community Participation” examines alcohol consumption patterns and the factors influencing drinking behavior among older adults. It explores the roles of attitudes toward drinking, social support from families, communities, and healthcare services, as well as self-efficacy in reducing alcohol use. Based on these findings, the study develops a participatory behavioral change model aimed at promoting alcohol reduction and cessation, thereby enhancing the health and quality of life of older adults through sustainable family and community support.
