Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the problem drinking status of college students, and to verify the effect of the experience of school violence victimization on the suicidal behavior of college students and the moderating effect of problem drinking in the process Method: In order to achieve the purpose of the study, 338 college students were surveyed online and data of 330 researchers were analyzed. Results: The main results of this study are as follows. First, when examining the problem drinking status of college students, 72.0%(236) of normal drinking group and 28.0% (92) of problem drinking group showed. Second, the experience of school violence victimization had a positively significant effect on suicide behavior. Third, problem drinking, a moderator variable, was found to have a significant positive effect on suicidal behavior. Fourth, it was found that experience of school violence affected the problem drinking in the process of positively affecting suicidal behavior. Based on these results, we suggest practical and policy implications for enhancing suicide problems of college students and improving mental health.

Objectives: Unemployment and job loss are associated with an increased risk of problem drinking, which poses significant health risks. This study aims to assess the prevalence of problem drinking among and analyze its influencing factors using the ‘International Center for Alcohol Policies (ICAP) Determinants of Drinking Framework.’ Methods: A survey was conducted among 1,074 unemployed South Korean adults who visited a regional Center for Employment and Welfare. Problem drinking was assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT), with scores of 8 or higher classified as indicative of problem drinking. The data was analyzed using a hierarchical logistic regression model. Results: The average AUDIT score among participants was 6.87, with 38.2% identified as problem drinkers. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis revealed that younger age, higher levels of depression and embitterment, male gender, and absence of religious affiliation were significant factors associated with an increased risk of problem drinking. Conclusions: This study underscores the necessity of addressing problem drinking among the unemployed population through the implementation of targeted interventions.

본 연구의 목적은 외국인 근로자의 음주동기, 문화적응 스트레스, 문제음주의 관계를 파악하고, 문제음주에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위함이다. 연구방법은 G 시에 소재한 2곳의 조선소에 근무하는 외국인 근로자 120명을 대상으로 2016년 10-12월까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 외국인 근로자의 위험음주는 39.2%로 나타났다. 외국인 근로자의 문제음주에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위한 회귀분석 결과, 음주동기의 하위영역인 사교동기(β=.368 p=.003)와 동조동 기(β=.337 p=.005)였고, 문화적응 스트레스 하위영역인 향수병(β=-.197, p=.009)으로 문제음주에 대하여 약 39.5%의 설명력 을 보였다(F=26.849, p=.000). 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 외국인 근로자들의 문제음주를 예방하기 위해서 음주동기와 문화적응 스트레스를 활용한 알코올 교육 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among drinking motives, acculturative stress and problem drinking, and then to identify the influencing factors of problem drinking in foreign workers. A total of 120 foreign workers recruited from two shipyards in G city. Self-reported questionnaire survey was conducted from October to December, 2016. As a result, a rate of problem drinking in foreign workers was 39.2%. According to the multiple regression analysis, their problem drinking was significantly influenced by social motives (β=.368 p=.003) and conformity motives (β=.337 p=.005) as a subscale of drinking motives and homesickness (β=-.197, p=.009) as a subscale of acculturative stress, explained 39.5% of the total variance (F=26.849, p=.000). Based on our results, an education program using drinking motives, acculturative stress should be developed to prevent problem drinking in foreign workers.

Associated Factors of Problem Drinking Grade and Comparison of Health Behavior by Drinking Grade among Korean Men and Women Yong Chul Lee*, Bock Hee Im* *Department of Health Care Management, Catholic University of Pusan Objectives: This study firstly examined the socio-demographic and health factors associated with high problem drinking among Korean men and women. Secondly, we compared disease prevalence, health behaviors among groups of moderate drinking, problem drinking and alcohol abuse/dependency. Methods: Secondary analysis of the 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was conducted for 5,735 respondents aged 19 over. Results: First, the factor which affect high problem drinking in men was age, income, marital status, occupation, education, depression, smoking and the factor which affect high problem drinking in woman was age, marital status, occupation, education, stress, suicide thought, smoking and solitary life. Second, the prevalence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity was highest in the orders of alcohol abuse/dependency, problem drinking, moderate drinking in men and the prevalence of low HDL cholesterolemia was the reverse order in men and woman. Third, smoking, stress, depression was high in alcohol abuse/dependency in both of men and woman. The influenza vaccination in men and woman and cancer screening in woman was high in order of moderate drinking, problem drinking, alcohol abuse·dependency. Conclusion: There might be many differences in the prevalence and health behavior among moderate drinking, problem drinking and alcohol abuse/dependency. Our finding suggest that the need to develop appropriate high problem drinking prevention and intervention strategies for sex and socioeconomic specified groups at greater risk.

Purposes: This study was to explore the association of socioeconomic vulnerability and problem drinking. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey((KNHANES) in 2013 and 2015. The workers who aged 30-64 years were included in this analysis and the pooled sampling weights were applied for the statistical analysis. Socioeconomic vulnerability index consisted of education, house ownership, residential area, household income, personal income, single household and occupation. Problem drinking was categorized by Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test scores. Results: The prevalence of problem drinking was higher in the highest socioeconomic vulnerable group than the group with the lowest vulnerability (Odds Ratio 1.81, 95% CI 1.42~2.57) after adjusting gender. The findings showed that problem drinking was associated with education level, house ownership, residential area, and occupation. Conclusion: Socioeconomic vulnerability index was associated with the lieklihood of being problem drinker. The intervention programs considering socioeconomic vulnerability to prevent harms from problem drinking need to be developed and applied for the vulnerable people.

본 연구는 직종별 문제음주 관련 요인을 확인하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구는 2012년 1월부터 12월까지 수집된 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 전체 대상자 중 본 연구의 목적에 따라 사무직 391명, 생산직 707명, 서비스직 309명을 최종 대상자로 선정하였다. 자료는 Rao-Scott 카이제곱 검정과 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 알코올사용장애 선별검사 도구를 이용하여 8점 이상을 문제음주군, 8점 미만은 정상음주군으로 분류하여 분석한 결과 문제음주율은 사무직이 45.1%, 생산직 39.1%, 서비스직 42.3%로 나타났으나 직종간 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 문제음주 관련 요인은 직종에 따라 차이가 있었는데 사무직은 흡연만이 관련 요인으로 확인되었으며 흡연자의 문제음주 위험이 4.44배 높았다. 생산직은 배우자가 있는 경우 문제음주 위험이 0.46배 낮고 흡연자는 4.07배 높았다. 서비스직은 20대에 비해 60대 이상의 문제음주 위험이 0.02배 낮은 반면 흡연자는 11.17배 높게 나타났다. 본 연구는 직종별 문제음주 관련 요인의 차이를 확인하였으며 향후 본 결과가 음주 중재프로그램 개발에 의미있게 활용될 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors related to problem drinking in male workers according to occupational classes. Data were derived from the 2012 Korean National Survey on male workers. A total of 391 office workers, 707 manufacturing workers, and 309 service workers participated in this study. Data were analyzed using Rao-Scott Χ2-test, simple and multiple logistic regressions. Problem drinking was defined as ≥8 points in the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. The problem drinking rates were 45.1% in office workers, 39.1% in manufacturing, and 42.3% in service. In office workers, the factor related to problem drinking was only smoking. In manufacturing workers, the factors related to problem drinking were spouse, smoking and prevalence of Diabetes. In service workers, the factors related to problem drinking were age and smoking. Therefore, different intervention should be developed for each occupational class in order to manage the problem drinking in male workers.

Objectives: This study examined problem drinking to identify the factors related to problem drinking among people with a physical disability in the community. Methods: This study enrolled 448 people with a physical disability. The measurements of problem drinking used AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test). For data analyses, the descriptive statistic, T-test, chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were carried out using SAS window 9.2. Results: The major findings can be summarized as follows: 1. AUDIT showed that 25.7% of the respondents had problems with alcohol (score of 8 or more). Problem drinking was observed in 34.6% and 9.0% of men and women, respectively. 2. Univariate analysis revealed problem drinking to be significantly associated with gender, age, marital status, health management activity, smoking depression and suicidal ideation. 3. The adjusted odds ratios were significantly higher in the following : men (OR=3.23); 40-49 age (OR=4.00); current smokers (OR=3.14) Conclusion: These issues need to be taken into consideration when planning preventive measures to reduce alcohol consumption and its related problems.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to examine the relation between problem drinking of Korean adults and related factors such as health risk behaviors, health status, quality of life and mental health and to confirm mediated effects of mental health that have become serious social problems recently. Methods: This study constructed and examined a structural model with the problem drinking, health risk behaviors, health status, quality of life and mental health targeting 263 problem drinkers without missing values in the health behaviors, health status, quality of life and mental health among the problem drinkers (8 and more scores in AUDIT) in raw data of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009. Results: First, in the male subjects, there was a significant direct path from the subjective health status to the mental health (standardized coefficient: B=.20, C.R.=2.248, p<.025), and there was also a direct path of mental health on the problem drinking (standardized coefficient: B=-.23, C.R.=-2.857, p<.004). Second, in the female subjects, there was a significant direct path of quality of life on the problem drinking (standardized coefficient: B=-.24, C.R.=-2.324, p<.020), and the direct effect of quality of life on mental health also showed a significant path (standardized coefficient: B=.37, C.R.=3.823, p<.001). Third, as a result of examining the mediated effects of mental health on the problem drinking, in the female subjects, the mediated effect was not found. However, in the male subjects, the path that the subjective mental status had a significant impact on the problem drinking through the mental health as complete mediation was found (p=.028). Conclusion: This study examined the relation between the problem drinking and related factors that have been fragmentarily reported previously more deeply and systematically through the use of the structural equation model. In addition, it confirmed the mediated effects of mental health in the relation between the problem drinking and subjective health status.

문제음주는 개인의 정서적 문제와 신체적 질병을 유발하며 사고나 상해, 주취폭력 등 주변인 및 지역사회에 미치는 부정적 폐해가 크기 때문에 어떠한 특성을 가진 개인이 문제음주의 가능성이 높은지 그 예측요인을 규명하는 것은 음주와 관련한 치명적인 손실을 예방하기 위해 무척 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 2012년도에 실시된 한국복지패널 7차년도 데이터 중 음주경험이 있으며 AUDIT에 응답한 3,915명을 대상으로 문제음주와 인구사회학적, 심리사회적 변인과의 관계를 분석 하고, 문제음주의 예측요인을 검증하기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 조사대상자의 36%가 문제음주군 으로 나타났으며, 성별, 연령, 학력, 직업, 경제적 상황과 자아존중감, 우울, 가족관계 만족 및 사회관계 만족이 문제음주와 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 조사대상자의 문제음주를 예측하는 요인은 성별, 연령, 학력, 직업, 자아존중감 및 우울로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 일반 성인들의 문제음주군으로의 진입을 예방하기 위한 실천적 방안의 근거를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors which predict problem drinking on adults. Using the data on the Korea Welfare Panel Study for the 7th year, 3,915 people responded to the demographic factor, psychosocial factors and drinking behavior. And the logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of problem drinking. As a result, 36 percent of those surveyed showed that the problem drinking group. Gender, age, education, occupation, economic status, self-esteem, depression, and satisfaction of family and social relationships were correlated to alcohol use. In addition, the results of logistic regression, gender, age, education, job, self-esteem, depression were predicted problem drinking. Based on these findings, it is recommended practical counterplan that prevention of the problem drinking.

본 연구에서는 한국복지패널(Korean Welfare Panal Study) 11차년도(2016년), 12차년도(2017년), 13차년도 (2018년), 14차년도(2019년) 자료 중 가구주용 데이터와 가구원용 데이터를 활용하여 성인의 문제음주가 우울에 종단 적 영향을 미치는지에 대해 검증하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 우울의 초기값은 문제음주 초기값과 정적(+)인 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 문제음주 변화율과도 유의미한 관계가 나타났다. 둘째, 수급가구의 경우는 우울의 초기값, 문제음주의 초기값과 정적(+)인 관계를 나타냈다. 셋째, 장애인의 경우는 우울의 초기값, 문제음주 초기값과 부적(-)인 관계를 나타 냈다. 따라서 성인기 이전의 학교교육에서 음주문제 예방 프로그램 개발과 교육이 적극적으로 이루어져야 할 것을 제언 하였다.

In this study, data from the 11th year of the Korean Welfare Panel Study (2016), the 12th year (2017), the 13th year (2018), and the 14th year (2019) were used to verify whether drinking problems in adults had an end-to-end effect on depression. The analysis showed that, first, the initial value of depression has a static (+) relationship with the initial value of problem drinking, and a significant relationship with the rate of change in problem drinking. Second, the supply and demand households showed a static relationship with the initial value of depression, the initial value of problem drinking. Third, in the case of people with disabilities, the relationship between the initial value of depression, the initial value of problem drinking, and the amulet (-). Therefore, it was suggested that the development of drinking problem prevention programs and education should be actively carried out in school education before adulthood.

본 연구에서는 출소자의 문제 음주 과정을 중독증후군모델을 바탕으로 이해하고자 하였다. 출소자들이 출소 이후 사회로의 복귀에 어려움을 겪음에 따라 스트레스 및 분노를 자주 경험한다는 것을 고려하여 스트레스 및 분노를 문제 음주에 영향을 미치는 과정변인으로 선정하였다. 중독증후군모델을 토대로 문제 음주에 영향을 미치는 심리사회적 위험요인으로 스트레스를, 중독을 유발하는 기저 취약성으로 분노를 각각 설정하여 스트레스가 분노를 통해 문제 음주에 영향을 미치는 것으로 가설을 설정하였다. 본 연구를 위해 한국법무보호복지공단 전국 14개 지부 및 4개 지소에서 숙식을 지원 받고 있는 성인 남성 출소자 311명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 구조방정식 모형을 적용하여 모형의 적합도 및 변인들의 직·간접 효과를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 스트레스는 분노를 매개로 문제 음주에 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 문제 음주에 대한 스트레스의 영향을 분노가 완전매개하는 것으로 나타나 스트레스가 문제 음주에 직접 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라, 기저 취약성인 분노를 활성화시켜 문제 음주에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 출소자의 문제 음주 개입을 위한 방법 및 후속 연구에 대한 제언을 논하였다.

The goal of current study is to understand the developmental process of problem drinking among ex-prisoners in Korea by applying a theoretical framework for addiction syndrome theory. When prisoners in Korea are released, they face various challenges upon re-entry to society, which in turn elicits stress and anger. Extant research provided support for relations between stress, anger, and risk behaviors among ex-prisoners. The study sets stress as a psychosocial risk factor and anger as an underlying vulnerability which triggers problem drinking, and hypothesized that stress would affect problem drinking through anger. Participants were 311 ex-prisoners who are provided with accommodations and meals from Korea Rehabilitation Agency. Frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and Structural Equation Modelling analysis were utilized by using SPSS 22.0 and Amos 22.0, to test the model fit of the hypothesized model and estimate the direct and indirect effects of the variables of interest. The results indicated that stress did not affect problem drinking directly, but its effect was fully mediated by anger. Implications for alcohol interventions in correction services and future research on problem drinking are discussed.

Objectives: This study examines the trend of alcohol-related research, with a specific focus on problem drinking and related variables, to provide evidence for prevention and intervention of alcohol related problems as well as for alcohol public policy in Korea. Methods: For the study, research studies published between 1990 and 2013 were analyzed. Forty-three research articles were included for meta-analysis. The main focus of the analysis was on examining the effect size of correlation coefficients of variables related to problem drinking. Results: From the 43 articles, 304 variables were extracted under individual, family, social environment, and demographic variable groups. Overall, more studies focused on individual variables compared to environmental variables. Results showed that Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA), level of consumption, motivation, expectancy showed high effect size, followed by drinking culture, social relationship, and family members’ drinking. Conclusion: The study results point to the importance of more research focusing on macro or societal influence of alcohol related problems. Alcohol policy should include more specific contents that target changing the tolerant drinking culture in Korea.

This study investigated research trends of college students' problem drinking by using text mining. 100 research papers from 2000 to 2021 were collected with the keyword of "college students' problem drinking" from RISS. We aimed to provide preliminary data on college students' problem drinking by identifying latent meaning and patterns of research articles. Results: 140 words were selected for the analysis through preprocessing and stemming from the 100 scholarly literature titles, keywords, and abstracts in Korean and English. The most frequent keyword was 'problem drinking,' and 'college,' 'college students,' 'influence,' 'alcohol,' 'interpersonal relationship,' 'depression,' etc., were in the following order. TF-IDF indicated 'drinking motivation,' 'self-efficacy,' 'depression,' 'college life,' 'stress,' 'personality,' 'psychsocial,' 'violence,' etc. Topic modeling implied that 'topic 1' was the leading topic out of 8 categories. Finally, we propose future directions based on the results.

본 연구는 대학생의 문제 음주, 특히 최근 사회적 이슈로 주목 받고 있는 과음에 대한 인식 이 문제 해결을 위한 커뮤니케이션 행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 서울 소 재 대학교 재학생 119명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 과음에 대한 대학생들의 상황 인 식은 문제를 해결하기 위한 상황적 동기에 영향을 미쳤으며, 특히 문제인식이 가장 큰 영향을 미 치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 문제해결 상황적 동기는 커뮤니케이션 행동에 유의미한 영향을 미 쳤지만, 음주거부 자기효능감은 정보추구와 정보주목에만 영향을 미쳤다. 과음에 대한 인식을 바 탕으로 공중을 세분화한 결과, 활동공중과 인지공중의 비중이 높았으며, 활동공중은 모든 유형의 커뮤니케이션 행동이 높게 나타났다. 한편 혼술 빈도는 공중의 상황 인식에는 영향을 미치지 못 했지만 음주거부 자기효능감에는 부정적 영향을 미쳤다.

The current study examined college students’ issue perception of and communication behaviors on problem drinking based on the situational theory of problem solving (STOPS). A survey of 119 respondents explored the influence of perceptual, cognitive, and motivational antecedents of information behaviors. The results suggest students’ problem recognition, involvement recognition and constraint recognition influenced situational motivation in problem solving, which affected communicative action. However, referent criterion, which was drinking refusal self-efficacy, partially affected communicative action. Theoretical and practical implications for future research and practices are discussed.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the moderating effect of social support between problem drinking and depression of the elderly with disability. Methods : This study analyzed the 12th wave(2017) KWPS(Korean Welfare Panel Study) and Disability Study which included 195 elderly with disability aged 60 over. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 and STATA. Results : First, the elderly with disabilities were more likely to be depressed than the women, ,living without spouse, the less satisfied with health, the higher the problem drinking, the lower the social support. Second, disability factors didn’t show any influence on the depression of subject and subjective health satisfaction significantly related to the depression. Third, social support moderated the relationship between the problem drinking and depression. According to the Quantile regression analysis, in group with low social support, the more the problem drinking, the higher the depression. Conclusion : Social support in elderly with disability was a significant variable for problem drinking and depression. The implication and limitation of these findings are discussed, and directions for future studies are proposed.

Objective: In this study, we tried to identify the effects of stress on drinking problems and to check the mediated effects of stress response behavior on nursing college students. Methods: The number of people studied was 163, and the collected data was analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 statistical program. Hierarchical regression analysis was performed to analyze the mediated effects between stress and problem drinking. Results: Problem drinking showed a positive correlation with stress (r=.258, p≤.001) and also showed a positive correlation with coping (r=.226, p≤.005). In addition, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of avoidance coping, it was found that there was a partial mediation between stress and problem drinking (Z=3.08). Conclusion: In order to improve the mental health of nursing students with high stress levels, it is necessary to first check the level of stress and coping with it. It is necessary to provide a program that reduces avoidance coping and manages stress more efficiently.

본 연구는 경찰관이 시민들로부터 당하는 폭력적 접촉경험과 문제음주와의 관련성에 초점을 맞추어 경찰관의 스트레스 해소정책 수립에 도움이 되는 기초 자료를 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 2011년 경찰대학과 경찰교육원에 기본교육을 받고 있는 763명의 경찰관을 상대로 자기 보고식 조사를 실시하여 수집한 자료를 대상으로 하였다. 수집한 데이터는 구조방정식 모형(Structural Equation Model)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 폭력적 대민접촉이 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향, 직무스트레스가 문제음주에 미치는 영향관계에서 유의한 인과관계가 나타나지 않았으며, 폭력적 대민접촉을 중한 폭력과 경미한 폭력의 2개의 잠재변수로 구분하였을 때, 중한 폭력과 문제음주 사이에도 유의한 관계가 나타나지 않았다. 다만, 경미한 폭력만이 문제음주에 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 과거의 경찰과 달리 현재의 경찰관들은 직무스트레스를 느낄지라도 문제가 될 정도의 과다한 음주를 하지는 않는 것으로 나타났다. 경찰관들은 스포츠나 다양한 취미생활을 통하여 스트레스를 해소하기를 희망할 것으로 판단되므로 경찰관에게 여가시간을 보장하는 정책도입이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to provide a empirical materials in establishing police officers' stress solution policy. This study is focused on the relations between police officers' violence victimization experience and problem drinking. For this study, data of 763 self-report survey of police officers, being educated in Police University, Police Training Institute in 2011, were used. To analysis this study SEM(Structural Equation Model) method was conducted. The results are as follows. First, the result of SEM analysis shows that there isn't a significant causal relationship between violence victimization experience and problem drinking. This result is contrary to the many previous studies. The path-coefficient from stress caused violence experience to problem drinking is -0.004 and it isn't significant. Second, the relationship between aggravated assault and problem drinking isn't significant too. Only a slight assault is a significant factor to the problem drinking. In conclusion, problem drinking doesn't have any relationship with job stress and police officers are seeking other alternatives to solve their stress, for example sports, enjoying variety of hobbies. So guaranteeing free time for police officers could attribute to their stress solving.

Objectives : Alcohol’s harm to others harms not only individual drinkers but also third parties and causes many socioeconomic costs. Although several previous studies have identified factors related to the occurrence of alcohol’s harm to others, the characteristics of alcohol‘s harm to others are largely unknown. For a more effective policy, it is important to understand the current status of alcohol’s harm to others. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the current status and types of alcohol’s harm to others by place of alcohol-regulated places using newspaper articles. Methods : Articles from August 16, 2021 to August 16, 2022 were searched through a news search analysis site called ‘Bigkinds’. Search keywords were ‘drinking’ or ‘drunken’ or ‘alcohol-regulated places’ in combination with the words related to alcohol-regulated places. The year, the place, and the type of even of alcohol’s harm to others were extracted from the articles. Frequency analyses and a chi-squared test were used. Results : From the initial search, 5,182 articles were found, of which 222 articles were included in the anlaysis excluding duplicate articles and articles containing political content. Forty eight percent of the events of alcohol’s harm to others occurred in the metropolitan area. The events of alcohol’s harm to others occurred more frequently in non-regulated places than in regulated places (68.5% vs 31.5%). Violence (36.9%), drunken driving (28.0%), and disturbance (13.7%) are the most frequent types of harm. The types of harm were statistically different between the regulated and non-regulated places. Conclusions : The study results have shown that alcohol’s harm to others occurs more frenquently in non-regulated places than in regulated places. We also found that felonies such as murder and robbery as well as misdemeanors inlcuding violence, disturbance occur in alcohol-regulated places. These results suggest that alcohol regulations need to be strengthened in alcohol-regulated places and alcohol-regulated places need to be expanded to some of the non-regulated places.

성인의 음주패턴과 우울경험의 관련성을 확인하고, 남녀 문제음주자의 우울경험 관련 요인을 파악하고자 실시되 었다. 국민건강영양조사(2010-2013년)의 만 19세 이상 성인 19,878명의 자료를 사용하여 문제음주자의 우울경험 관 련요인 파악을 위해 복합표본 로지스틱 회귀분석하였다. 남녀 모두 문제음주 수준이 높아질수록 우울경험의 위험이 증 가하는 양 반응관계를 보였다. 남성 문제음주자의 우울경험의 위험은 높은 연령군, 낮은 교육군, 비고용군, 스트레스 인지군, 주관적 불건강 상태군에서 높았고, 기혼군에서 낮았다. 여성 문제음주자의 우울경험의 위험은 40대 연령군, 낮 은 교육군, 비고용군, 스트레스 인지군, 주관적 불건강 상태군에서 높았다. 따라서 우울 위험군인 문제음주자를 조기에 발견하여 정신건강 문제로 진행되지 않도록 예방 활동을 확대하고, 문제음주와 우울관리 접근시 성별에 따른 차별화된 전략이 요구된다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between drinking patterns and depressive mood, and to understand the factors associated with depressive mood among problem drinkers. Data of 19,878 adults over 19 years of age and older from the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The risk of depressive mood was greater with higher level of problem drinking in both genders. For male problem drinkers, the factors associated with depressive mood include older age, lower education level, unemployment, high perceived stress, bad subjective health status, and non-married status. For female, higher risk was found in groups with the age of 40-49, lower education level, unemployment, high perceived stress, and bad subjective health status. By early screening of the identified risk factors, progression to mental health problem can be avoided. For preventative measures, differential approach depending on gender is suggested.
