The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of curriculum trial to enhance the upper secondary students’ performance by using immunization course of Opisthorchiasis and Cholangiocarcinoma in the northeast region of Thailand. The study design was a Quasi-experiment using one group pretest-posttest design. The sample was one classroom grade 10 students in high school namely, Nakorn Khonkaen School, Khon Kaen Province and were recruited by simple random sampling. Based on action research approach, we introduced the 5 lesson modules of 20-hour curriculum to the students. They were 4 aspects to evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum containing: knowledge (K), attribute (A), process (P) and healthy habit (H). Before and after undertaking the course, the students completed the pre and post evaluation. The data were analyzed to compare the statistical scores of mean and standard deviations. The results revealed that there were the higher scores of the knowledge, the attribute, and the healthy behavior aspects in the postest than in the pretest; including having had a good level of process skill. So that, the curriculum developed had a potential to implement into the schools in the northeast region of Thailand in order to reduce the prevalence rate of Opisthorchiasis and Cholangiocarcinoma
