The subjects of this study were 751 mothers of elementary school student from September 1 to 30, 2012. Data were analyzed with chi-square, and multiple logistic regression analysis SPSS 12.0. Respondents approving and opposing for the implementation of water fluoridation program were 50.3% and 10.4%. The most associated factors of approval for the community water fluoridation program was recognition of water fluoridation program (odds ratio [OR], 2.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14~7.76), which was followed by length of residence (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.39~4.47), and recognition of sealant (OR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.02~3.50) in the order. And the approval opinion had relationship with district of residence. It is recommend that construction of public service system on education and information in order to most peoples can confidence the necessity of community water fluoridation program.

수돗물불소농도조정사업 예정 지역인 인천광역시 사업기획에 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 초등학교 아동 어머니들을 대상으로 사업에 대한 인식 및 찬반 의견과 관련요인을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 대상자의 사업 인지율은 31.0%, 사업목적 인지율은 24.5%였고, 찬성 50.3%, 반대 10.4%였으며, 사업 인지율은 거주지역(p<0.001)과 거주기간(p<0.05), 목적 인지율은 거주지역(p=0.01), 찬반율은 거주지역(p=0.001)과 거주기간(p<0.001), 연령(p<0.01) 모두에서 차이를 나타냈다. 2. 치아우식병 예방법 인지 및 시행여부에 따른 찬성율은 치면열구전색 인지군(56.8%)이 비인지군(37.3%)보다, 불소도포 인지군(60.7%)이 비인지군(39.2%)보다 높았다(p<0.001). 3. 수돗물불소농도조정사업 찬성은 거주지역에서 차이를 나타냈고, 사업 인지군이 비인지군에 비해 2.98배, 거주기간 5년 이상 군이 5년 미만 군에 비해 2.49배, 치면열구전색인지군이 비인지군에 비해 1.88배 높았다. 이상의 결과를 통해 지역주민이 사업 필요성을 인지하고 안전성을 신뢰할 수 있도록 전문가 교육과 홍보에 대한 적극적인 지원이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
