This study empirically examined the outcomes of consumer education conducted for high schoolstudents in all prefectures, using an outcome-based education (OBE) model.The data from the CAA’s “2021 Survey on the Actual Conditions of Consumer Troubles amongStudents in High Schools in Tokushima Prefecture and the Effectiveness of Consumer EducationImplementation” (n=3,227) was used.The covariance structure analysis indicated that most students became more careful about readinginformation and choosing products, through learning, which also led to increased risk-managementskills and knowledge. However, the most influential factor in consumer troubles was the frequencyof digital use. While consumer education has been successful in fostering knowledge, skills, andattitudes, it has not been fully effective in addressing digitalization.
