목적: 본 연구는 한국 청소년의 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관 요인에 따른 주관적 건강상태의 차이를 분석하고, 주요 관련요인을 파악하고자 수행되었다. 방법: 분석자료로서 2015~2016년도 한국 청소년 건강행태 온라인조사 자료를 이용하였으며, 분석대상자 수는 중학생 53,791명, 고등학생 50,959명, 총 104,750명이었다. 학생들의 건강수준은 주관적 건강상태를 기준으로 건강집단과 비건강집단으로 구분하였다. 건강수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 성별, 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인 및 식습관이 검토되었다. 이들 요인 간 건강집단과 비건강집단의 비율차이 검증을 위해 표본설계 정보를 반영한 Rao-scott 카이제곱검정을 실시하였다. 또한 주관적 건강수준에 영향을 주는 요인을 알아보고자 로지스틱회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과 및 결론: 주관적 건강수준은 양친부모와 살지 않은 경우, 모의 교육수준이 낮을 때, 주관적 가정경제수준이 낮을수록 낮았다. 음주군, 고강도운동이나 근력운동을 실천하지 않는 군, 과체중이나 비만인군에서 주관적 건강수준이 낮았다. 또한 스트레스나 우울감 등 부정적인 감정이나 행복감을 느끼지 못할 때도 주관적 건강수준은 낮았다. 아침을 결식하거나 탄산음료, 고카페인음료, 패스트푸드 등의 비건강식품을 자주 섭취하는 군에서도 주관적 건강수준은 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 한국 청소년들에게서 건강 불평등(health inequalities)은 가정환경, 건강행태, 심리적 요인, 식습관 등 여러 요인들로부터 제기되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 요인들을 충분히 반영하여 청소년들이 건강해 질 수 있는 다각적 접근 방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to prepare basic data for improving school library information service by investigating the information usage behavior of specialized high school students. Preferred information sources for each situation requiring information and the level of solving information problems using information sources were investigated, and difference analysis was conducted by department and grade. As a result of the survey, the percentage of students who preferred Internet portal services, personal information sources (teachers, friends, parents), and social media was high, while the percentage of students who preferred traditional print information sources and mass media was very low. The average score of the information problem solving level was 3.55, and the problem solving level in the areas of employment and career/admission was relatively low. Preferred sources of information were similar regardless of grade and department, and the difference between departments in information problem solving level was not statistically significant, but the difference between grades was statistically significant. In addition, there is an academic contribution in this field that specific examples of youth information use behavior have been added. Based on the results of the study, librarians should make efforts to verify the reliability of Internet portal site information, improve and promote library information sources, and expand library use education. In future studies, it was suggested to develop customized information services.

This study evaluated the dietary habits and health behaviors of Korean adolescents according to their nutrition label utilization. This study was conducted on the adolescents aged between 12 and 18 who participated in the 2016-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Subjects were classified into nutrition label utilizing group and non-utilizing group. Then the general information, diet habit and nutrient intakes, health status and obesity and mental health of the two groups were analyzed. There was no significant difference in skipping breakfast, frequency of eating out, smoking status and alcohol drinking status according to the utilization of nutrition labels. Nutrition label utilizing group had higher % KDRI of protein(p<0.05), calcium (p<0.01), phosphorus(p<0.01) and potassium intakes(p<0.01) than non-utilizing group. Nutrition label utilizing group had higher EQ-5D score(0.97) than non-utilizing group(p<0.001). Practical nutrition education using nutrition label is needed. So these results can be useful for supporting dietary education regarding use of nutrition label for adolescents.

Purpose : This study was conducted to survey the preliminary data on risk behaviors and to identify the factors that prevent risk-behaviors in late adolescence. Methods : Freshmen(n=1,297) beginning the first semester in Korea University, Seoul, Korea completed self-administered risk behavior questionnaires, comprising 5 domains : demographics, smoking, drinking, drug abuse and sexual behavior. Results : The rate of smoking experience was higher in people having friends who smoke and the predictors of transition to current smoking were male gender, urban residence, friends' smoking, and nicotine dependence. The rate of high risk drinking was higher among students who are male and who had experience of heavy episodic drinking. The study group showed a low prevalence of narcotic users, but two-thirds of students could get medicine easily without prescriptions. The prevalence of sexual experience was 6.5 percent, and the sexual education was not a predictor of contraceptive behavior. The prevalence of homosexuality was 1.6 percent, and the rate of mostly heterosexuality was higher in female students. Conclusion : The main targets of youth health education should be campaigns aimed at atcessation of reinforcing risk behaviors and the development of a surveillance system for the prevention of chronic disease. These results can be used to find risk factors of health-risk behaviors among late adolescents.

This study was attempted to understand the effect of the violence victim experience of Korean adolescents on smoking using the data of the 15th (2019) online youth health behavior survey. The subjects of this study were 57,303 people, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS / Win 26.0 program for frequency analysis of complex samples, cross sample analysis (Rao-Scott ��2 test), and logistic regression analysis of complex samples. The main result was 12.7% of the smoking subjects. Those who smoked were significantly more 9.6% and 22.0%, respectively, compared to those who had no more than 1 or 2 times of violence. Smoking of Korean adolescents adjusted for gender, grade, academic record, economic status, drinking, family living, and usual stress increased the odds ratio for smoking by 1.66 times when the degree of violence damage experience increased by 1 unit. As a result of the above, as the degree of violence victimization of adolescents increases, the likelihood of smoking increases. Therefore, it is necessary to multidisciplinary convergence effort to the prevention and management of violence of adolescents, and to reduce the smoking of adolescents.

The issue of teenage drinking and smoking has been raised repeatedly over the years. However, for various reasons, adolescents have continued to drink and smoke up to the present. Consequently, various preventive education programs are being implemented in all elementary, middle, and high schools, but these efforts have not been significantly effective in reducing the rates of adolescent drinking and smoking. Furthermore, while youth centers exist in various locations, they are often underutilized due to inadequate promotion or facilities. Given that drinking can lead to serious juvenile crimes, and there are indeed cases to this effect, preventive measures are absolutely necessary. Therefore, this paper analyzes the behavior of adolescents regarding drinking and smoking using public data. Based on the analysis conducted using R, a tool for big data analysis, this paper proposes measures to reduce the rates of adolescent drinking and smoking. The proposed measures focus more on prevention than on post-event solutions.

This study examined the effect of digital technologies on adolescent mental health; attention deficit, aggression, depression. Furthermore, we investigated the role of parenting style and peer attachment as they might have effects on digital technologies. Using two-wave longitudinal data, we conducted longitudinal analysis from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey done in 2015 and 2016. Results showed that computer and internet usage for learning purpose has a positive effect on mental health, while computer games and social media have negative effects. Also, the positive effects of learning on depression indicated stronger in adolescents who felt less affection from their parents. On the other hand, the negative effects of computer games and social media could be moderated by both parenting style and peer attachment. Implications of these results and directions for future research are discussed.
