The objectives of this research and development were to 1) study the situation, problems, and needs of overweight teenagers of health zone 12, 2) develop and implement, using artificial intelligence technology and social networks, a model for health literacy, and 3) evaluate the model's efficacy. Participants were 54 overweight teenagers, school administrators, teachers, parents, food vendors, and public health personnel. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. Its content validity and reliability were tested. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. In-depth interviews were conducted among 34 Informants. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The model was then implemented with 60 overweight teenagers, and data were analyzed using one-way MANOVA. The model was therefore evaluated, using quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The research instrument used was a questionnaire, which content validity and reliability were tested. Data analysis was performed, using descriptive statistics. A focus group was conducted among 16 Informants. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The research results were as follows.
1. Health literacy of overweight teenagers in health zone 12 was at a moderate level (M=2.64, SD=0.66). They need to lose weight through food selling, continuous exercise, and enough sports equipment in schools and need public health personnel education, monitoring, controlling.
2. The health literacy model of overweight teenagers applying artificial intelligence technology and social network was called APP WEIGHT LOSS. After using the 12-week program of health literacy application, the experimental group had higher scores on health behavior for overweight prevention than before and higher than the control group (p<.05). The experimental group had more mean weight reduction than the control group, with a statistically significant level of .05.
3. Overall, satisfaction was at a high level (M = 4.32, SD = 0.14).
Schools should have the policy to develop health literacy among overweight teenagers and use this application to motivate them, so they feel that losing weight is easier.
