Health is the most important factor in the Quality of life. Without appropriate treatment, dental caries could have serious effects on self-esteem, nutrition, and health of a person throughout his/her life. The purpose of this study was to investigate ways to develop a consumer information program that could help improve teens' oral health. To develop an effective information program, we surveyed 1) how teens feel about oral health information in the market, 2) how judiciously they use their information, and 3) how they actually apply the information to practice. On the other hand, we investigated relationships between dietary patterns and dental caries among middle school students. The results indicate a serious lack of oral health information for middle school students. Moreover, we found that the intake of vegetables, fruits and legumes prevents dental caries. Using these results, we developed a system for organizing and conveying the oral health information for teens.

This study examined the restaurateur's willingness to participate in the healthy restaurant program. Using a structured self-administered questionnaire, data on subjects' personal, business and management characteristics, willingness to participate in the healthy restaurant program and the perception of healthy restaurant program were collected from 145 restaurateurs in Seoul. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression were used in the analysis. Half of respondents (50.3%) were willing to participate in the healthy restaurant program. Years of business (OR = 2.584, 95% CI = 1.049-6.369), consideration of food quality (OR = 0.321, 95% CI = 0.147-0.702), and awareness of importance of nutrition or health information (OR = 2.416, 95% CI = 1.082-5.391) were significant indicators for restaurateur's willingness to participate in the healthy restaurant program. Hence, strategic activities to inform the benefit of healthy restaurant program for both restaurateurs and consumers are necessary.

치유농업은 현재 많은 관심이 대두되고 있으나, 학술적인 연구는 아직 부족한 실정으로 공급조건이나 제공프로그램에 대한 파악과 소비자의 성향에 대한 연구가 종합적으로 고려되고 있지 못하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 치유농업 소비자의 이용의도에 영향을 미치는 공급조건과 제공프로그램을 파악하고자 하였으며, 특히 소비자의 라이프스타일이 어떤 역할을 하고 있는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 서울시와 경기도 및 전라남북도에 거주하고 있는 일반 직장인을 대상으로 한 설문조사 데이터를 기반으로 통계적인 분석을 실시하였고, 분석결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. 첫째, 치유농업 공급조건이 소비자의 이용의도에 미치는 영향은 공급조건의 하위요인 중 일부가 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 부분적으로 지지되었다. 둘째, 치유농업 제공프로그램이 소비자의 이용의도에 미치는 영향은 모든 제공프로그램의 하위요인들이 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 치유농업 공급조건이 소비자의 이용의도에 미치는 영향관계에서 소비자의 라이프스타일의 모든 하위요인은 이 관계를 유의하게 조절하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 치유농업 제공프로그램이 소비자의 이용의도에 미치는 영향관계에서 소비자의 라이프스타일 하위요인 중 건강추구는 치유농업 제공프로그램의 자연활동과 이용의도 간의 관계를 유의하게 조절하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper attempts to incorporate three important factors-perceptions, behavior and valuation-in analysing consumers' responses to health risks from environmental pollutants. Using a survey sample of 500 consumers in the Chonbuk province area, this paper empirically investigated determinants of risk perceptions from using tap water as drinking water. Most consumers were considerably concerned about health risks from drinking tap water. Moreover, those subjective concerns were not random, but were systematically related to individuals' demographic variables such as age, gender, and family size. Those subjective beliefs also influenced respondents' purchase intentions on safer water bottles, in response to a contingent behavior question of presenting two types of water bottles. The technical risk information provided in the survey had significant effects on purchase intentions only when it was interacted with respondents' actual averting practice. In addition, the sample selection effects were present by eliminating respondents who decided not to purchase either of two types of water bottles. The potential selection bias had impacts on the coefficients of the price difference variable, and subsequently the estimates of the price increments for health risk reductions.

With the paradigm shifts towards consumer-centered health service, it is expected that more health care consumers will keep their health information and manage their own health in the future. Thus, this study was conducted to compare "Understanding", "Utilization" and "Management" of Personal Health Record(PHR) between medical users(healthcare students) and health care providers(medical students). We collected data from 208 health and medical students via using self-reported questionnaires form April to June, 2011. The collected data were analyzed using frequency, t-test, Chi-square on SPSS 19.0 version. There was no significant difference in "Understanding" of PHR between two groups. Looking at the order of the importance of PHR contents, two groups equally emphasized medical records, surgical history, and test results. There was significant difference in both time and effectiveness of PHR(p=0.02). Intergrated type of PHR was preferred by both groups. Recently, PHR reflects needs and demands of users more than ever. However there are many limitations to promote the utilization. In the future, it is necessary to implement targeted strategies for the elderly groups and specific types of disease.

We analyzed 18 representative Korean health information related web-sites for assessing confidence and satisfaction. The 18 representative web-sites are selected by rank information of a ranking web-site for Korean web-sites. In order to analyze confidence and satisfaction degrees on the 18 web-sites, we used 19 assessment criteria and 5 important elements of our former research paper. In the results, we found out the present states of confidence and satisfaction degrees of Korean health information web-sites and we presented methods for utilizing these results for web-site administrators and health consumers.

This study was performed to improve of Health Functional Food(HFF) through investigating the label system. The logo on HFF to increase the reliance, understanding and quality warranty for consumers was developed through competition. In order to investigate the consumer's awareness about HFF label system a nationwide survey was conducted in metropolitan areas (6 cities) and middle-sizes cities (6 cities). The subjects was 2000(male 519, female 1481) adults aged 20 over, and information was collected by in-person interviews. The major results were as follows. 63.0% of consumer responded they need certification mark for HFF and trust function information of text/graphic format than text format. 85.3% of consumers chose the long claim including the mechanism because 38% reported that they could confide the information, 36% reported it is easy to understand and 26% reported that they thought it is more effective than short claim. As 58.8% of the total consumers answered that the manufacturers marked the nutrition function claim without the permit of the KFDA, a reliable certification mark developed by this research is expected to contribute in improving the label system of HFF, rising reliability and perception of consumer.

The present study surveyed 225 undergraduates to examine their social media use behaviors and their perceptions of usefulness, trustworthiness, and privacy of social media for seeking and sharing health information. 151 respondents reported using social media for health information while 74 reported not using it for health matters. Results show that the most popular medium were social Q&As, followed by blogs and social networking sites. Age, gender, school year, and the presence of a health problem were associated with the social media use behaviors. This study suggests the potential of social media as a desired channel for providing health information to undergraduates.
