Abstract

This study analyzed data from 1997 Korea's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey collected through telephone questionings based on the multi-stage stratified random sampling. We categorized respondents into those who had ever drunk an alcoholic beverage in the last month and those who didn't and, referring to the World Health Organization's guideline, the former group were further categorized into low risk drinking group and high risk drinking group. Employing bivariate probit regression analyses with censoring on independent variables such as preferred type of alcoholic beverage, the number of types of beverages consumed, age, marital status, education, occupation, residential area, current smoking, body mass index and stress suggested (1) that those who prefer soju are more likely to involve high risk drinking than those who and prefer the other alcoholic beverages (2) that those who are relatively older, who live without a partner, who have jobs, who. are vulnerable to stress, or who enjoy more than one type of beverage are more likely to be exposed to high risk drinking than the others.

고위험 음주는 개인 건강 뿐 아니라 사회에 막대한 부담을 초래한다. 본 연구는 보건복지부와 서울대학교외 건강위험요인 전국조사 자료에 중도 절단 이변량 프로빗 모형(bivariate probit model with censoring)을 활용하여 한국 사회에서 15세 이상 인구계층의 고위험 음주에 미치는 요인을 규명하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 우리나라에서 소주가 음주 주종 중 고위험 음주와 가장 관련성이 큰 주종임이 밝혀졌다. 그동안 소주의 문제점에 관해서는 대부분 인식하고 있었으나 전국 조사 자료 및 최신 통계분석방법을 적용한 연구가 전무하여 실증적인 뒷받침이 되지 않았던 사실이 밝혀진 셈이다. 또한 나이가 많은 계층, 배우자와 동거하지 않는 계층, 경제활동에 종사하는 계층, 스트레스에 취약한 계층, 다양한 주종을 소비하는 계층이 각각 상대적으로 그렇지 않는 계층에 비해 고위험 음주를 할 가능성이 높았다. 본 연구결과로써 한국 사회에서 음주로 인한 위해를 감소시키기 위해서는 주종별로 차별화된 정책과 함께 고위험 음주 가능성이 상대적으로 높은 인구계층을 대상으로 정부 및 민간 노력이 집중되어야 한다는 정책적 시사점을 도출할 수 있었다.
