The adjusted odds ratio for not washing hands before meals at school was significantly higher in girls (Odds Ratio [OR]=1.52, 95% Confidence Intervals [CI]=1.42-1.63), metropolitan city (OR=1.32, 95% CI=1.11-1.56), city (OR=1.29, 95% CI=1.08-1.54), higher grade, higher academic performance, lower economic status, not handwashing at home (OR=14.36, 95% CI=13.37-15.42), and without annual personal hygiene education (OR=1.41, 95% CI=1.33-1.49).

"과학관의 설립 운영 및 육성에 관한 법률"에 의거하여 정식으로 등록된 전국의 국 공 사립 과학관은 2012년을 기점으로 100개를 넘었고 현재는 170여개 기관이 이른다. 해당 법률에서 규정하는 과학관은 국민들의 과학기술에 대한 이해증진 및 어린이와 청소년들의 과학에 대한 탐구심 함양, 과학문화의 대중화 등 과학문화 확산의 한 축으로 활용이 되고 있다. 과학관은 등록 요건에 따라 '종합과학관'과 '전문과학관'으로 분류를 하며 특히 전문과학관의 경우 과학의 여러 분야 중 한가지의 주제를 선정하여 그 주제에 맞는 전시물과 프로그램들을 운영하고 있다. 특히 천문과 우주를 테마로 한 과학관은 2009년 세계 천문의해를 기점으로 건립이 가속화 되었고 그 비중은 전체 과학관 중에 상당 부분을 차지하고 있다. 하지만 이에 대한 정확한 통계와 분류가 미흡하고 해당 기관들 상호간에 제대로 된 협력체계가 미비한 현실이다. 이와 유사한 박물관, 미술관, 도서관의 경우 과학관과 마찬가지로 해당 학문에 대한 홍보와 대중화를 위해 관련 법률이 마련되어 있는데 이들의 경우 관련분야에 종사하는 전공자들에 대한 별도의 자격제도와 해당 기관에서의 지위를 부여받은 것과는 상당한 차이를 보이고 있어 이들 법률의 비교를 통하여 각 기관들의 설립목적과 운영취지, 자격제도 등을 알아보고 천문우주 과학전공자들에 대한 객관적인 검증제도 도입 및 과학관 건립시 그들을 채용할 수 있는 객관적인 근거를 마련해 보고자 한다.

This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between frequency of high-caffeine energy drink intake in adolescents and their mental health status using data from the Korean adolescent health behaviors online survey (2014-15). Mental health was classified by the five categories: Perception of stress (PS), Insufficient relief of fatigue after sleep (IRFS), Experience of sadness despair (SD), Suicidal ideation (SI), and Subjective unhappiness (SU). Regarding general characteristics, higher age, height, and body weight of subjects were associated with higher frequency of high-caffeine energy drink (HCED) intake (p< .0001). In the OR analysis, when the lowest group (${\leq}2/wk$) and highest group ($1{\geq}day$) were compared, the highest group showed significantly higher OR in all five categories of mental health. According to gender, males did not show better PS, SD, and SI than females who had a high frequency of HCED (p for trend<.0001). According to school level, middle school students showed a higher risk rate than high school students in PS, IRFS, and SD (p for trend< .0001). Based on the above results, higher frequency of HCED intake among adolescents was associated with more adverse effects on mental health.
