How an agreement with restriction of unhealthy food marketing and sodium taxation influenced high fat, salt or sugar (HFSS) food consumption
Nearly half of Thais indicated that they disagreed with policy on food marketing restriction and sodium taxation. Therefore, understanding and awareness of the two policies among Thais should be further investigated in order to develop better policy communication for increased public understanding and engagement

Over 50% of single young males and about 20% of single young females aged 18-24 in Thailand report having engaged in sexual activity the past 12 months. Better education and frequent consumption of alcohol increases the likeliho…

Variations in marriage patterns in central Thailand
Data from a survey of marriage patterns in central Thailand illustrate the complexity of change in marriage patterns in a developing society-the diversity of traditional patterns, the different directions of change, and the variations in current patterns.

Infant Feeding Practices, Postpartum Amenorrhea, and Contraceptive Use in Thailand
The findings from Thailand's 1984 Contraceptive Prevalence Survey suggest that an earlier trend toward reduced breastfeeding may have halted, with the initiation of breastfeeding virtually universal in rural areas and very common in urban areas. Breastfeeding duration, although quite prolonged on average, shows substantial rural-urban, regional, and educational differences. The introduction of supplemental food including infant formula and, to a …

Internal Migration in Thailand
Internal migration of the population of Thailand involves a number of distinct forms of movement. Three forms are identified in this research: single-move, seasonal and repeat. The first can be treated as long-term migration while the latter two are more temporary. All forms are characterized by different geographical flows and different selectivity patterns. Long-term migration is highly selective of young adults, females and the more highly edu…

Thailand's Reproductive Revolution
The fertility decline in Thailand is the 3rd largest fertility decline behind only South Korea and China. Thailands total fertility rate of 6.4 during the 1st half of the 1960s was quite typical of large Third World countries; by the early 1980s total fertility in Thailand had fallen to 3.6. Thailand is an especially intriguing case because of the rapidity and pervasiveness that have characterized the fertility decline there and because reproduct…

Because of the importance of contraceptive behaviour in most societies today a better understanding is needed of the social and behavioural factors affecting contraceptive decisions and choices of individuals and couples. This paper examines the need for longitudinal, theoretically-based studies of contraceptive use dynamics, including the timing, duration and interaction of reproductive events which may be more important than contraceptive techn…

Impact of children's migration on health and health care-seeking behavior of elderly left behind
Our study provides novel evidence on an issue of special importance to countries affected by heavy out-migration of adult children, an issue that has received little attention. Out-migration of adult children was highly associated with poor mental health but it was not associated with the physical health of the elderly left behind. Out-migration of children was also highly associated with higher utilization of health facilities by the elderly. Th…

Has Permanent Settlement of Temporary Migrant Workers in Thailand Begun
There are currently one million registered and perhaps as many unregistered low-skilled migrant workers in Thailand. Government policies assume that migrants stay only temporarily, however, and make no provision for accompanying family members. Regulations and administrative hurdles discourage the integration of low-skilled migrant workers in Thai society. In spite of government policies and regulations, there is increasing evidence that a signif…
