METHODS: This research was quasi-experimental research with one group pre- and post-test design. The 105 samples were the secondary school students of Wat Suttharam Secondary School, Bangkok who were selected by purposive sampling.

RESULTS: The results showed that, before and after program participation, the samples had a very good level of overall perceptions to prevent COVID-19 scores (X = 16.10 and 16.50 respectively) and the score was better after program participation with statistical significance (p < 0.01). The samples had a very good level of preventive behaviors of COVID-19 score (X = 2.22 and 2.34 respectively) and the score was better after program participation with statistical significance (p < 0.01).
