This study aims to identify geographical variations and factors that affect smoking rates. The data are collected from the Community Health Survey conducted between 2009 and 2011 by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other government organizations. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to examine the factors influencing smoking rates. For the purpose of investigating regional variations, we employed a decision tree model. The study has found that the significant factors associated with geographical variations in the smoking rates were the rate of hazardous drinking, the completion rate of hypertension education, the experience rate of anti-smoking campaigns, stress awareness rate, hypertension prevalence, health insurance cost, diabetes prevalence, obesity rate, and strength training rate. Convergence-based analysis on geographical variations of the smoking rates is highly important when the regionally customized healthcare programs is implemented. In the future, it is necessary to develop effective program and customized approach for the regions of high smoking rates. Our study is expected to be used as meaningful data for the design of effective health care programs and assessments to lead effective non-smoking program.

To examine whether the effect on utilization of ambulatory dental care are associated with oral disease according to pack-years of smoking in Korean population. Using data from Korea Health Panel between 2008 and 2012, we analyzed 3,866 participants who were male and more than 20 years. Pack-years of smoking were significantly associated with utilization in ambulatory dental care after adjustment for age, marital status, family income, and chronic disease. Ambulatory dental visitation frequency has been estimated to increase by 6% when 10.0 pack-years of smoking increased. Especially, the smokers who had 20.0~29.9 and 30.0 or more pack-years of smoking in forties and fifties males were 25% and 52% respectively more than non-smokers in utilization of ambulatory dental care.

It is common to encounter count data with excess zeros in various research fields such as the social sciences, natural sciences, medical science or engineering. Such count data have been explained mainly by zero-inflated Poisson model and extended models. Zero-inflated count data are also often correlated or clustered, in which random effects should be taken into account in the model. Frequentist approaches have been commonly used to fit such data. However, a Bayesian approach has advantages of prior information, avoidance of asymptotic approximations and practical estimation of the functions of parameters. We consider a Bayesian zero-inflated Poisson regression model with random effects for correlated zero-inflated count data. We conducted simulation studies to check the performance of the proposed model. We also applied the proposed model to smoking behavior data from the Regional Health Survey (2015) of the Korea Centers for disease control and prevention.

연구배경: 최근 청소년 흡연의 저연령화 문제가 심화되고 있어 청소년 흡연 대책마련이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 그 중에서도 흡연예방교육은 근본적인 문제를 해결할 수 있는데, 우리나라의 교육여건상 흡연예방교육을 위하여 할애할 수 있는 시간과 독립성, 교육내용상의 질을 한꺼번에 개선하기는 매우 힘들다. 이과 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구는 기존의 교과 과정의 구조에 체계적인 연계성 이론을 적용하여 통합적인 흡연예방 프로그램을 구상하게 되었다. 연구방법: 수직적/수평적인 연계성 이론에서 통합성, 접합성, 연결성의 3가지 영역을 적용하기 위한 방법은 다음과 같다. 1) 지식, 태도, 기술, 행동에 따른 일반적 가이드 라인을 재조성하였다. 2) 효과적인 흡연예방을 위한 사회/심리적인 요인을 기존 교과와 같이 보완할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 3) 기존 교과서의 내용을 분석하여 흡연예방과 관련된 효과와 단원을 파악하여 2)과 3)을 접합하였다. 4) 연결성은 거시적인 관점에서 지금까지 개발된 모든 요소들이 관련되어 있음을 보여 주어야 하므로, 본 연구는 가이드라인, 강화내용, 각 교과 단원이 모두 연결되어 있음을 보여주는 표 제시로 완성하고자 하였다. 이 연구를 위하여 각 교과를 대표하는 교과서 총 111권이 검토되었다. 연구결과: 청소년 흡연예방에 효과적이라고 알려진 사회/심리적인 모든 요인들은 사회, 윤리, 도덕 등의 교과에서 충분히 다루고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 흡연과 직접적으로 관련되어 있지 않기 때문에 흡연예방교육과 상관이 없다고 여겨질 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 각 관련 교과와 단원, 흡연예방관련지도를 제안하는 교사용 보완 지도자료 지침서가 개발되었다. 흡연예방교육에 필요한 모든 교육적인 요소들이 수직적(초중고등학교), 수평적(각 교과간)으로 연계되어 있음을 보여 주었다. 연구결론: 독립적인 흡연예방 프로그램을 개발하기 보다는 이와 같이 기존의 커리큘럼에 구조적으로 통합할 수 있는 흡연예방 프로그램이 비용-효율적일 수 있다.

This study was conducted to compare physical fitness, self-esteem, organizational commitment and transformational leadership among non-smoker and smoker ROTC cadets. This study used 425 questionnaires from male grade 3 and 4 ROTC cadets of 12 universities located in P city and G-do. Data were collected from May 1 to June 23, 2017. The data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 23.0 using a ${\chi}^2-test$, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Running 3km (t=3.26, p=0.046), self-esteem (t=1.06, p=0.003), organizational commitment (t=2.57, p<0.001) and transformational leadership (t=3.98, p<0.001) were significantly lower in the smoking group than the non-smoking group. There was a positive correlation between self-esteem, organizational commitment, and transformational leadership in both non-smokers and smokers. Therefore, to practice smoking cessation for the health promotion of ROTC cadets smokers, it is necessary to develop an effective education and intervention program that can enhance self-esteem, organizational commitment and transformational leadership.

Background: This study evaluated the accuracy of smoking habit from the data obtained from the medical records of lung cancer patients against the data obtained form face-to-face interview questionnaires Methods: The smoking habits of 225 lung cancer patients were categorized into never smoked, ex-smoker and current smoker in face-to-face interview questionnaire and medical record taken at the time of admission for a diagnosis. The overall agreement between two sources was evaluated. The factors affecting the disagreement between two sources and the level of data omission of the smoking habits in medical records were analyzed suing multiple logistic regression. Results: The smoking habit between two sources showed moderate overall agreement(Kappa $({\kappa})=0.60$). The lowest agreement was observed in the ex-smokers(${\kappa}=0.49$). Multivariate analysis revealed an age of 65 or older to be a statistically significant factor associated with the increasing disagreement risk compared with those 64 or younger (OR 3.02; 95% CI 1.58-5.80). The omission rate of smoking habits in the medical records was 18.2%. Adenocarcinoma was shown to be a statistically significant factor of associated with an increasing omission rate compared with squamous cell carcinoma (OR 3.00; 95% CI 1.19-7.59). Conclusion: The smoking habits obtained from medical record moderately reflect their true behavior. However, the smoking habit data from medical record should be used with caution when being used in a clinical study or cohort study of lung cancer.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of strengths perspective group art therapy on the strength-related perspectives on the stress, depression and impulsivity of male middle school students who smoke. Data were collected from 15 middle school smokers from two middle schools in A city. Among them, 8 experimental groups and 7 other control groups were willing to participate in art therapy. The collected data were analyzed by nonparametric test considering the number of groups was 15. The Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed ranks test were performed. As a result, the strength-focused group art therapy program showed stress (z = -2.521, p <.05), depression (z = -2.527, p <.05), impulse (z = -2.371, p < .05). Therefore, it can be found that strengths perspective group art therapy has a positive effect on the psychological well-being of smoking middle school students, and furthermore, it is necessary to study the deep emotional state of smoking middle school students.
