한국건강관리협회는 1998년부터 국민건강증진기금의 지원으로 금연사업을 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 협회에서 실시한 '07년 민간단체 금연클리닉 사업을 대상으로 사업의 효과성을 분석하여 사업의 과학적 근거 확보 및 향후 효과적인 사업 수행방안 마련 등 사업의 발전방안을 모색하고자 실시되었다. 대상은 2007년 민간단체 금연클리닉에 참여한 군 경, 중소업체 종사자, 운송업체 종사자, 국방부지정부대 참여자, 학교/공공기관 종사자 중 설문조사에 성실하게 응답한 3,170명이다. 민간단체 금연클리닉 사업 효과성 평가 설계는 구조화된 평가도구를 활용하여 금연클리닉에 참여한 집단만을 대상으로 참여 전(사전조사)과 금연클리닉 종료 후(사후조사)의 조사결과를 비교하는 단일 전후조사 설계(one-group pretest posttest design)방법을 사용하였다. 연구결과 민간단체 금연클리닉 참여자의 하루 평균 흡연량은 15.96개비, 평균 흡연시작연령은 18.59세, 평균 총 흡연기간은 146.39개월로 나타났으며, 참여자의 니코틴 의존도는 평균 3.81점으로 조사되었다. 또한 참여자의 84.5%가 의지로 금연 시도하였으나 실패한 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 개입이 필요함을 알 수 있다. 참여자들의 상황별 흡연욕구는 높은 수준이었으며, 특히 술자리, 스트레스상황 등 특정 상황에서 흡연욕구가 높게 나타났다. 금연관련 경험요인은 5점 기준 2.84점으로 조사되었으며, 인지적 과정이 행동적 과정에 비해 높게 나타났다. 마지막으로 민간단체 금연클리닉의 전반적인 만족도는 높았으나 상담환경에 대한 만족도가 상대적으로 낮았음을 감안할 때, 환경적인 부분에 대한 개선이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 더불어 금연클리닉의 효과나 만족도 부분에서 대상자의 특성에 따른 차이가 발생하므로 참여 대상자의 특성을 감안한 맞춤형 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것이다.
