Objectives: This study examined the changes in dietary habits, the prevalence of chronic diseases, and mental health problems in the regional areas of the Republic of Korea before and after the COVID-19 pandemic to provide evidence of the status of regional health inequalities. Methods: This study analyzed Korean adults aged 19 or older who participated in the Korea Community Health Survey (n = 686,708) and Consumer Behavior Survey for Foods (n = 19,109) from 2018 to 2020. The participants were classified according to their residence area (Seoul metropolitan area, Metropolitan cities, Provinces); 2018-2019 were defined as before COVID-19, and 2020 as after COVID-19. The dietary behaviors, chronic diseases, and mental health problems were measured using a self-report questionnaire. Results: After COVID-19, the eating-out usage rate in the Seoul metropolitan area and Provinces decreased compared to before COVID-19 (P < 0.001), and when responding that they eat out, the frequency of eating out with household members in the Seoul metropolitan area increased (P = 0.024). The deliveries/takeout usage rate in the Provinces decreased after COVID-19 compared to before (P < 0.001). After COVID-19, the prevalence of obesity decreased in all regions (P < 0.001), and the prevalence of hypertension increased significantly in the Provinces (P = 0.015). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus increased continuously before and after COVID-19 in all regions (P < 0.002). High-risk subjective stress levels increased significantly in the Seoul metropolitan area (P < 0.001), and sleep duration significantly increased in all regions (P < 0.001). Major depressive disorder was reduced significantly in Metropolitan cities (P = 0.042) and Provinces (P < 0.001). Conclusions: After the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of chronic diseases and mental health problems showed regional differences along with changes in dietary habits. It is necessary to reflect the regional differences in dietary habits in future policies resolving regional health inequalities.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the difference of perception on direct-to-consumer advertisement (DTCA) of prescription drugs between healthcare providers and consumers. Methods: The online and offline survey was conducted from May 26th to June 5th, 2013. The questionnaire was composed of 15 items about perception on DTCA of prescription drugs. Results: A total of 215 healthcare providers and 202 consumers responded to the questionnaire. Consumers had an overall positive attitude on permitting DTCA of prescription drugs and carried favorable views about the influence of the DTCA of prescription drugs on providing drug information, promoting communications between healthcare providers and consumers, and improving images of healthcare providers. Healthcare providers displayed negative perception for the needs of permitting the DTCA of prescription drugs compared to consumers. They showed somewhat skeptical perception about the influence of the DTCA of prescription drugs on necessities and efficiencies of delivering drug information, promoting communications between healthcare providers and consumers, and improving images of healthcare providers. Both healthcare providers and consumers were concerned about the increase of drug prices following the increase in advertisement expenses of pharmaceutical products. Conclusion: This study identified the perception differences on direct-to-consumer advertisements of prescription drugs between healthcare providers and consumers. This study could be of much help in the process of review on permitting DTCA of prescription drugs in Korea.

최근 디지털 광고는 15초 미만의 짧은 광고를 통해 메시지를 전달해야 하며, 소셜미디어에서 광고는 소비자가 스킵하기 전까지 5초 이내에 메시지를 전달해야 한다. 광고의 길이가 짧아졌지만, 인공지능을 통한 알고리즘과 빅데이터 분석은 고객의 관심사에 맞는 메시지 전달을 가능하게 하였다. 이런 변화 속에서 짧고 효율적인 광고를 이용한 소비자 맞춤 메시지 전달의 중요성은 날로 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 효과적인 메시지 전달을 위한 메시지 프레이밍 효과에 대해 살펴보았다. 구체적으로, 비건 제품에 대한 '건강'과 '환경' 두 가지 프레이밍 효과의 차이를 살펴보았다. 건강과 환경에 대한 소비자 관심의 증가는 비건 제품에 대한 관심을 높였으며, 비건 시장은 날로 크게 성장하고 있다. 소비자가 비건 제품을 구매하는 이유는 소비자 개인의 건강을 위해서이기도 하지만, 윤리적 소비라고 할 수 있는 환경에 대한 책임감 또한 무시 못 할 요인이다. 기존 연구에서는 건강과 환경 메시지 프레이밍 간의 효과의 차이가 측정되지 못하였으며, 연구 대상도 비건 식품에 국한되었다. 본 연구에서는 주방세제 제품군을 이용하여 '건강과 환경 메시지 프레이밍' 효과의 차이를 밝혀내고자 한다.

Lamb has long been considered a traditional meal within Australia; however as consumer preferences have changed since the 1950's, consumption of lamb has decreased from the 1980's. This is the result of changing societal roles, particularly for females, decreasing household sizes and increasing awareness of the impact of food choices on human health. Since the 1980's improvement of farm practices and increases in genetic gains has addressed part of this decline by increasing the amount of lean meat and decreasing fat in lamb retail cuts. Yet, this has created a challenge for the industry to utilise the larger carcases now being produced. Thus, a whole value chain approach to increasing consumption has been undertaken through several research programs to create cuts which suit the modern consumer, examine nutritional and eating quality and increase adoption of value added cuts. Therefore, this paper outlines this history of changing consumer patterns and the consequent research to address these changes.

Increasing Public Concern : Pesticide residue is probably one of the fastest growing problems in regard to environmental contamination. Pesticide use in agriculture in this century has produced certain benefits, including a decrease in crop waste and an increase in crop yields and food quality. However, pesticide use also creates problems of having effects on the environment and remaining in food chain. The presence of pesticide residue in food, water, and soil has aroused public concern over potential health hazards. Despite information provided by national and private level agencies suggesting that food is safe, consumer groups worldwide are demanding assurance as to the safely of agricultural products.

본 연구는 국내 토종닭 시장의 활성화 방안을 찾고자 실제 구매 데이터를 기반으로 토종닭 구매에 영향을 주는 개인의 식품 소비 성향을 살펴보았다. 농촌진흥청에서 주관하는 소비자패널 654가구를 대상으로 친숙한 브랜드 소비 정도, HACCP 및 GAP 제품 구매 정도를 토대로 한, 식품 안전 중시 소비 정도, 쾌락적 제품 구매 정도를 토대로 한, 건강 중시 소비 정도를 활용하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 익숙한 브랜드를 주로 소비하면서, 식품안전과 건강을 중요시하는 소비패턴을 보이는 전업주부일수록 토종닭을 지속적으로 구매할 가능성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어 식품안전을 우려하는 성향이 높을수록 토종닭의 첫 구매자로 연결될 가능성이 증가하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 저조한 토종닭 시장 점유율을 확대할 수 있는 방안은 다음과 같다. 토종닭에 대한 안전성을 강조하여 마케팅한다면, 토종닭을 처음 구매하는 소비자의 진입장벽을 낮출 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 프랑스 토종닭 인증제도 및 브랜드 사례와 같이, 토종닭 자체 브랜드의 반복적 노출 및 강조 그리고 토종닭의 건강적 이점을 강조하여 마케팅한다면 토종닭 소비층의 구매 의사 상승에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 마지막으로 공신력 있는 인증제도를 통해 건강과 안전을 중시하는 소비자의 구매 의사를 자극시킬 수 있으며, 저조한 국내 토종닭 시장 점유율을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine retirees' attitudes towards change of living standards. The data were drawn from the 2007 Korean Retiree Survey, as carried out by the Korean Investors Education Foundation. The major findings are as follows: 1) Some retirees were not well-prepared for retirement, i.e., they lacked financial consultation, had low personal financial literacy, and lacked sufficient wealth. Retirees suffered from health difficulties, loneliness or a sense of alienation, family conflict, or lack of pastimes. 2) Certain groups recognized the change of living standards for retirees as either positive or negative. Retirees who recognized the change of living standards as negative were not well-prepared for retirement, had low personal financial literacy, and lacked sufficient wealth. They also suffered from health difficulties, loneliness or a sense of alienation, family conflict, or lack of pastimes. 3) There was a strong probability for the negative recognition group not to be well-prepared for retirement, having low personal financial literacy, and lacking in sufficient wealth. There was a strong probability for the negative recognition group to suffer from health difficulties or lack of pastimes. Based on these findings, this research suggests that retirees should prepare for retirement with a positive attitude.
