 AB    OBJECTIVES: The present study is oriented to the generation of New
       Preventive Medicine including the dream of traditional one and also to
       the development of educational theory and research methodology for their
       practical applications. METHODS: In order to cope with the above
       contemporary needs, General Network (GN) Approach being developed by our
       study group in 1986 was introduced for the development of New Preventive
       Medicine which should be an alternative scientific foundation for the
       recovery of humanity with particular to living with AIDS. A series of
       our educational studies on AIDS prevention for past four years (1991-94)
       in Japan as well as Thailand was the subject matters for the present
       study; three major groups such as medical and health workers including
       general public. RESULTS: The three major consecutive studies were
       carried out as follows; 1. The sensory understanding on five major steps
       of paradigm shift from traditional to new one in terms of preventive
       medicine for common sharing. 2. Structuring and functioning on New
       Preventive Medicine with particular to Quality of Life and Bio-ethics
       for education. 3. Educational studies on systems feasibility, case
       caring assessment and population evaluation as quality assurance in
       healthcare. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: It was realized through the
       present study that this educational and research systems should be New
       Health Paradigm which does not neglect any existent approaches and also
       could be equally applied for community problem solvings such as mental
       health or geriatric care. The educational introduction of Role Playing
       on AIDS caring and curing in the community settings was definitely
       proved to be effective for the social realization on living with AIDS
       spirits among participants from the viewpoint of bio-ethical recovering.
       The further development of educational systems on New Preventive
       Medicine or New Health Paradigm was identified in terms of common sense
       understanding on paradigm shift for the era of living with AIDS.
