Abstract

Purpose : Adolescence is a period of growth and development in body structure and physiologic, psychologic, and social functioning. Smoking and drinking in this period are very harmful and may lead to other forms of substance abuse. We surveyed the actual aspects of smoking and drinking among Korean adolescents and analyzed associated factors. Methods : A survey was performed among adolescents using a questionnaire about smoking and drinking. Data were collected from students who visited pediatric clinics for routine school examinations from July to November 2007. Results : A total of 2,546 adolescents (smoking 1,512; drinking 1,034) participated in the study. The overall smoking and drinking rates were 29.2% and 48.2%, respectively, and the mean age at the first instance of smoking and drinking was 13.8 and 14.1 years, respectively. Among drinking adolescents, 30.1% were offered a drink by their parents, although most adolescents were encouraged to smoke or drink by their friends. Dissatisfaction with family and school life, economic status, and school performance was associated with a higher smoking and drinking rate (P<0.001). Broken families were associated with a high rate of smoking, but peer satisfaction was not related to smoking or drinking. The frequency and amount of smoking and drinking in adolescents were as high as those in adults. Social sanctions seemed insufficient to keep adolescents from smoking and drinking. Conclusion : Adolescent smoking and drinking are highly influenced by family and school environments, so more active social sanctions are required, including parental involvement and legislation preventing adolescents from smoking and drinking.

목 적 : 청소년기는 신체적, 정신적, 사회적으로 성장하는 시기로써, 이 시기의 흡연과 음주는 신체손상 및 모든 약물남용의 관문이 될 수 있다. 서울지역 청소년들의 흡연 및 음주 행태를 조사하고, 이에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 분석해 보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2007년 7월부터 4개월 동안 학교건강검진을 위해 소아청소년과를 방문한 중고생을 대상으로 흡연 및 음주 행태에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 결 과 : 총 2,546명(흡연관련 답변자 1,512명, 음주관련 답변자 1,034명)의 청소년이 설문조사에 응답하였다. 흡연율과 음주율은 각각 29.2%, 48.2%였으며, 최초 흡연 및 음주 시기는 각각 13.8세와 14.1세였다. 처음 담배나 술을 권한 사람으로는 친구가 가장 많았으나 음주의 경우 부모가 30.1%를 차지했다. 또한 흡연율과 음주율은 가정생활 및 학교생활 만족도가 낮을수록, 가정형편이 어려울수록, 학교성적이 나쁠수록 높게 나타났다(P<0.001). 정상가정보다는 결손가정에서 흡연율이 높게 나타났고 교우관계 만족도와는 흡연율과 음주율 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 청소년의 흡연과 음주의 빈도 및 그 양은 성인 조사 결과와 비슷하였으며, 청소년의 흡연과 음주를 막기 위한 사회적 제재는 아직 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 청소년의 흡연과 음주는 가정환경이나 학교생활 등에 영향을 크게 받으며, 청소년의 흡연 및 음주를 예방하기 위한 법제 마련 및 부모를 포함하는 더욱 적극적인 사회적 제제가 필요하다.
