Prevalence Experiences and Patterns of Cannabis Use and Predictors of Cannabis Use Awareness among the Elderly in a Certain Province

Jakkrite Pinyaphong — 2026-03-09

This research aimed to investigate the prevalence, experiences, and patterns of cannabis use, and predictors of cannabis use awareness among the elderly. The 560 respondents was obtained through multi-stage random sampling, while 40 interview participants was purposively selected. Data collection instruments included questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression for predicting factors. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. Results revealed that the prevalence of cannabis use among the elderly was 22.70%, the primary sources of cannabis were neighbors (92.80%) followed by being given cannabis by grandchildren (34.30%). Cannabis was used while cooking (13.00%) and brewed as tea (11.10%). Regarding frequency, 26.50% use cannabis every other day. Overall, the level of awareness and cannabis-related health literacy was high, with mean scores of 79.85 and 103.18, respectively.

Asset Management Fiscal Discipline and Revenue Inequality: The Case Study of Provincial Administrative Organizations

Direk Patmasiriwat — 2026-03-09

This article presents the findings of a comprehensive study on the asset management of 76 Provincial Administrative Organizations (PAOs) in Thailand, using data from the fiscal year 2022 compiled by the Office of the Auditor General. The study reveals several significant insights. Firstly, while the asset allocation patterns among the 76 PAOs exhibit similarities, detailed analysis reveals substantial differences, particularly regarding investment allocation (short-term vs. long-term). It was observed that 50 PAOs allocate a higher proportion of assets to short-term investments, possibly indicating excessive liquidity. Generally, long-term investments yield higher returns compared to short-term ones. Conversely, 26 PAOs allocate more assets to long-term investments, reducing short-term investments could potentially benefit income from interest. Secondly, there is a clear disparity in asset ownership (measured by the Gini index calculated as assets per capita). The Gini index stands at 0.39, indicating a high level of inequality. In comparison, the income per capita index is 0.21. This indicates a considerable disparity in asset distribution among the regions. Thirdly, the study highlights cautiousness in personnel expenditure, with a controlled proportion not exceeding 40% of the budget, as per regulations. However, some PAOs (a minority) are beginning to exceed this threshold, signaling a need for caution, particularly if there is a transfer of responsibility for sub-district health promotion hospitals. This could potentially increase the burden of personnel expenditure. A key recommendation is that when transferring sub-district health promotion hospitals in line with government policies, the Budget Bureau should allocate funds to support salaries and compensation for personnel based on the transferred responsibilities.

Development of Ceramics Tableware Design for the Elderly Using Quality Function Deployment

Phiphat Chit-arirak — 2026-03-09

This research aims to develop ceramic tableware products for the elderly using Quality Function Deployment (QFD), diverging from traditional product development methods. The study focuses on designing plates, bowls, and cups, considering aesthetics, functionality, safety, and target group suitability to enhance the quality of life for older adults. The research employed a sample of 60 elderly individuals selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved interviews using research tools comprising interview forms, ceramic product design processes, and prototype satisfaction evaluation forms. The results revealed that the elderly's needs could be categorized into four main groups: emotional aspects, aesthetics, functionality, and production methods. This information guided the design of two prototype models with different design inspirations, created using 3D printing. Satisfaction evaluation showed high levels of approval for both prototype models, with the first plate design scoring an average of 4.50, the first bowl design 4.52, and the second cup design 4.50, reflecting an effective response to the elderly's needs. This research suggests elderly product design should balance aesthetics and functionality for attractive, user-friendly items. Further research should apply the findings to commercial elderly product design. In conclusion, the QFD technique demonstrated efficiently developed elderly-friendly ceramics, offering a model for future senior product design.
