인구주택총조사는 국가기본통계조사로서의 중요성과 필요성에도 불구하고 여러 가지 조사실행의 현실적인 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 많은 조사비용과 수집되는 정보의 양의 감소, 그리고 긴 조사 주기 등이 현행 총조사에 제기되는 문제점들이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 전통적인 총조사의 대안의 하나로 순환총조사가 대두되었다. 순환총조사에서는 국가 전체를 여러 해에 걸쳐 조사하므로 조사결과를 자주 생산하여 시의성이 개선되고 조사비용을 균등 분배할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 반면, 한 순간에 국가 전체를 조망하는 특성이 상실되고 현장조사에서 외부의 영향이 증가할 수 있는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 순환총조사의 사례로 프랑스 순환총조사와 미국지역사회조사를 구체적으로 살펴보았다. 그리고 현행 총조사의 대안으로 순환총조사를 도입할 때 검토해야 하는 사항 중, 순환표본 선정, 모집단 갱신, 합성추정, 순환표본 실행에 대하여 고찰하였다.

Differences in food and nutrient intake among Korean adults based on different stress levels were investigated using information obtained from 7,370 adults who participated in the 1998 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey. The twenty-four hour recall method was used for this dietary survey. Data pertaining to indivisual stress levels were collected by means of interviews as part of the National Health Behavior Survey. Following the analysis of variance, Duncan's Multiple Range Test was used to test the differences in food and nutrient intake among groups with different levels of stress. Eighty-three percent of the study subjects were reported to have a certain level of stress. Unlike the observations made in European and American studies, there were no significant differences observed in food and nutrient intake based on the stress levels among Korean adults of either sexes. These results may imply that even though stress was clustered with other health related behavior, the association between food intake and stress among Koreans was very weak.

국내 주거재생 및 도시재생 사업이 활성화됨에 따라 주거환경 및 경관 개선, 그리고 공동체 활동에 대한 관심 증대로 인해 도시농업의 일종인 커뮤니티가든에 대한 관심 역시 증가하고 있다. 하지만 국내 커뮤니티가든에 대한 인식은 아직 도시농업의 범주를 벗어나지 못하고 있으며, 실천방안 논의 역시 기초 단계에 머물러 있는 현황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 커뮤니티가든의 발상지인 북미 4개 도시 커뮤니티가든의 현황을 직접 현장 조사하고, 공간적 구성 및 사회적 기능을 중심으로 분석함으로써 사례 도시별 커뮤니티가든의 특성을 탐구하여 국내 커뮤니티가든 연구에 있어 유의미한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 연구 방법으로는 커뮤니티가든이 활발하게 운영 관리되고 있는 시애틀, 뉴욕, 필라델피아와 밴쿠버 등 4개 도시의 총 166개 커뮤니티가든에 대한 현장조사를 실시한 후, 각 도시별 커뮤니티가든 4곳을 선정하여 분석을 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 각 도시의 커뮤니티가든은 입지 성격 및 사회적 수요에 따라 다양한 기능을 수행하고 있음이 확인되었다. '근교외' 도시인 시애틀과 밴쿠버 커뮤니티가든의 경우, '참여'의 장으로써의 역할이 강조되고 있는 반면, '도심'에 위치한 뉴욕과 필라델피아 커뮤니티가든은 '경관 미화'의 기능이 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 이처럼 북미 커뮤니티가든은 전체 지역사회를 위한 다목적 공공 공간으로써 도시 어메니티 기능을 복합적으로 수행하고 있는데, 이는 국내 커뮤니티가든 연구에서 커뮤니티가든의 사회적 기능 및 이를 수행하기 위한 공간적 구성에 대한 고려가 필요함을 암시한다.

Background: Little is known about interest in faith-based health promotion programs among Asian American populations. Among the Christian denominations, the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) church is known to place a strong doctrinal emphasis on health. Objectives: To understand appropriate ways to develop and implement health promotion programs and to conduct research among Korean American SDAs. Methods: We collaborated with the North American Division of Korean SDA Churches which sponsors annual week-long religious retreats for their church members. We developed and administered a 10-page questionnaire at their 2009 retreat in order to assess socio-demographic and church characteristics, religiosity, perceived relationship between health and religion, and interest and preferences for church-based health promotion programs. Results: Overall, 223 participants completed our survey (123 in Korean and 100 in English). The sample consisted of regular churchgoers who were involved in a variety of helping activities, and many holding leadership positions in their home churches. The vast majority was interested in receiving health information at church (80%) in the form of seminars, cooking classes and workshops (50-60%). Fewer respondents were interested in support groups (27%). Some interests and preferences differed between English and Korean language groups. Conclusion: Korean American SDA church retreat participants from a large geographic area are very interested in receiving health information and promoting health at their churches and can potentially serve as "agents of influence" in their respective communities.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine the association between perceived racial discrimination and substance use and the potential moderating effect of perceived parental affection between the two variables. Methods: A total of 101 Korean American adolescents participated in this cross-sectional study utilized an online survey. Descriptive statistics were used to describe for means and frequencies and the patterns of substance use. Logistic regression analysis was also used to examine the association between perceived discrimination and substance use. Results: Ninety percent of the participants reported perceiving racial discrimination, and 21% had used at least one kind of substance in the month prior to taking the survey. The most frequently used substance was alcohol, followed by marijuana and tobacco products. Logistic regression analysis revealed a link between perceived racial discrimination and substance use (OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.01, 3.00). However, parental affection did not moderate between racial discrimination and substance use. Conclusion: These findings suggest that perceived racial discrimination is positively associated with substance use among Korean American adolescents, and health care providers, counselors, and school nurses should screen for discrimination-related stress and substance use in this population.

이 글은 1990년부터 진행된 미국의 인구센서스의 변화와 향후의 전망에 대해서 2000년의 경험과 2010년의 계획을 중심으로 논의한다. 먼저, 2000년 센서스의 준비과정에서 미국 과학원학술평의회 국가통계위원회가 작성한 2000년 센서스 개선안의 내용을 통계적 추정방법 도입, 응답률 개선방안, long form 개선방안, 소수민족 집계누락, 인구센서스 대체방안, 센서스 비실시 연도 소지역통계 확보방안, 센서스 프레임 정비 등으로 살펴보고, 1998년 대법원 판결 이후 2000년 센서스에서 통계적 추정방법을 이용한 미국판 One Number Census를 추진하지 못하게 된 경위를 검토한다. 다음은 2010년 인구센서스의 핵심적 특성의 하나인 long form과 short form의 분리, 곧 short form은 전통적 센서스, 곧 전수조사와 현장실사의 원칙을 준수하는 방식으로 그대로 두고, long form을 대체하여 순환센서스로 진행되는 American Community Survey에 대해서는 그 과정과 주요 특성을 검토한다. MAF/TIGER는 인구센서스의 집계과정에서 정확성을 향상 하고자 하는 또 하나의 특성으로, 이것은 2010년 센서스에서 모바일 컴퓨터를 도입하는 하이테크 센서스를 목표로 기획된 것이었다. 이 글은 미국 센서스에서 short form과 long form의 분리가 대법원 판결로 우연히 일어난 것이 아니라는 점을 강조하기는 하지만, 미국 센서스는 2008년 현재, 인구조사국의 모바일컴퓨터 개발실패로 60만 비정규직 조사원의 고용을 불가피하게 할 것으로 예상되며, 이로 말미암아 2010년 미국 센서스의 정확성에 대한 우려감이 증대하고 있음을 지적한다.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the consumption values of fast foods among American consumers and compare the consumption values according to the levels of health consciousness. Methods: An online survey using a self-administered questionnaire was conducted on 351 American consumers. Based on the median health consciousness score (3.83 out of 5 points), the subjects were classified into the low health-conscious group (Low group) and the high health-conscious group (High group). Factor analysis was used to extract factors for the five consumption values (functional, social, emotional, conditional, and epistemic values). The differences in the consumption values between the two groups were analyzed. Results: A total of 14 factors were extracted for the five consumption values and 9 factors among them (convenience, healthiness, and taste in functional values; health-conscious people, young, busy, obese people, low class, and budget restricted people in social values; guilt in emotional values; accidental situations in conditional values) showed significant differences between the two groups. The Low group had a higher perception of the factor of healthiness (P < 0.001) than the High group. The High group had a relatively higher perception of the factors of convenience (P < 0.001), taste (P < 0.001), and guilt (P < 0.001). In addition, the High group perceived the social values of fast foods more negatively. The High group consumed fast foods less frequently than the Low group and perceived their health status and healthiness of eating habits more positively. Conclusions: The results reveal that the health consciousness level significantly influences consumption value perceptions about fast foods in American consumers. Policymakers and marketers can develop effective strategies based on the results of this study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare Preventive Health Behaviors (PHBs) in adults in Korea and the United States and identify factors influencing PHBs. Methods: This was a secondary data analysis study using data from the 2008 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the 2008 USA Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The PHBs were predicted using multiple linear regression analysis. Results: 1) The total score of PHBs was significantly higher in American males (5.11) than in Korean males (4.78). There was also a significant difference between Korean females' total score (6.57) and American females'(6.75). 2) Age, marriage, monthly income, subjective health status, and cardiovascular disease were significant factors of PHBs in Korean males (p<.001). However, age, marriage, education, monthly income, health insurance, subjective health status, and cardiovascular disease were significant factors in American males (p<.001). In Korean females, only age and education were significant predictors (p<.001). However, six variables(age, marriage, education, monthly income, health insurance, and subjective health status) were significant predictors in American females (p<.001). Conclusion: There were different variables in predicting PHBs between Koreans and Americans. Each country should focus on those significant predictors to promote the PHBs for adults.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in food and nutrient intake by smoking status among Korean. Food and nutrient intake in relation to smoking status was studied in 7,370 adults, aged 20 years and older in 1998 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey, in which 24 hour recall method was used for dietary survey. Information of subject's smoking status was collected by interview as a part of health behavior survey. Analysis of variance was used to test the differences in food and nutrition intake among subjects following after Duncan's multiple range test among four different smoking exposure categories. Food intake of male ex-smoker was the highest in most of the food groups among the four groups of daily current smoker, occasional current smoker, ex-smoker and never smoker. There was significant differences observed in food intake of sugar, fruits, beverage, seasoning by the smoking status. It had been also observed that significantly high intake of energy from carbohydrate in non smoker compare to current smoker especially in male subjects. Fiber and vitamin C intake was also higher among non-smoker (never smoker and ex-smoker) than current smoker. In general, food and nutrient intake pattern of ex-smoker resembled those of never smoker than those of current smoker. Not likely the observation from European and American studies, fat intake was not statistically different between smoker (current) and non-smoker (ex-smoker and never smoker) among Korean.

This study was conducted to define dietary patterns and to evaluate the effects of socioeconomic, acculturation and lifestyle factors on dietary patterns among 2,746 Korean- Americans in California. It was a cross-sectional telephone survey based on a representative sampling of individuals with a Korean surname using residential phone listings. It was conducted using a food frequency questionnaire that covered 20 food items, socioeconomic variables such as age, gender, income, education and acculturation, and lifestyle factors such as body weight, alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise and consumption of fast food. Four dietary patterns were identified: American Foods (AF), American Breakfast (AB), Korean Foods (KF) and Vegetables (Ⅴ). AF was associated with younger men, acculturation and fast food consumption. AB was associated with women, higher education, current smoking and fast food consumption. KF was associated with acculturation and lower socioeconomic status. Ⅴ was associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking, exercising and fast food consumption. The results of the study showed that socioeconomic and lifestyle factors influenced the dietary patterns of Korean- Americans. This should be considered when dietary interventions are designed for Korean-Americans to improve their health status.
