Objectives: This thesis intends to find out the extent of drinking problem which is caused by students' psychosocial stress, expected alcohol effects and problem drinker drinking as well as the influence of each factor. Methods: This study was conducted from September 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014 with the target of 466 students (66.6%), who are currently drinking, out of 700 students over the age of 16 and enrolled in 36 universities located in the whole country. This data were analyzed using the program SPSS21. Results: Age, gender, and the school district that showed significant differences in drinking problem compared to other general characteristics played the role of control variables. It was found that psychosocial stress does not affect the drinking problem. The self-reward and human-relation factors included in the expected drinking effect were revealed to influence significantly on the problem and the life and health related factors included in the reason of drinking refrain were also turned out to have significant effect on that problem. The degree of F is 15.665 and the degree of explanatory is 23.6%. Conclusions: Problem drinker in college and enhance the culture and health education policy is necessary to reduce college student drinking effects expected.

The purpose of this study was to identify relationships among peer pressure, parental supervision, alcohol expectancy and adolescent drinking behaviors between year 2001 and 2006. Three hundred high school students were given questionnaires each year on their drinking behavior. Findings of this study were; first, a adolescent drinking and the amount drinking has increased during the years. adolescent drinker ratio as adolescent drinkers were 91.3% in 2006 compared to 75.9% in 2001. The average drinking amounts were 40.82 units in 2006 and 24.9 units in 2001. Second, differences were found in adolescent drinking behaviors such as the amount of alcohol consumption, drinking frequency, & problem drinker ratio by gender, and grade. Male students over female students. Third, peer pressure, parental supervision, alcohol expectancy showed significant impacts on adolescent drinking behaviors through 2001 and 2006. Students who lack parental supervision with much higher drinking-related peer pressure along with a higher level of positive alcohol expectancy were observed to be heavy drinkers and problem drinkers. Especially, students who showed belief in alcohol's tension-relieving function and sociability function tended to over-drink, drink more frequently and as a result, experienced more drinking problems. Intervention strategies were discussed.

본 연구 지역에서의 연구대상자 중 AUDIT 12세 이상, CAGE 2점 이상을 기준으로 한 문제음주자의 비율이 각각 28.3%, 30.0%로 다른 전국 단위 조사결과에 비해 높았다. 본 연구에서 사용한 문제 음주의 선별도구로써의 CAGE, AUDIT는 그 점수가 높은 사람이 술을 자주 마시고, 1회 음주량도 많으며 주간 알코올 섭취량도 많은 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었고, CAGE, AUDIT를 기준으로 문제음주를 분류하였을 때 문제음주가 아닌 집단과 음주 현황 및 음주 인식도와 음주로 인한 폐해에 있어서 전반적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 그러므로 CAGE와 AUDIT가 농촌지역사회의 문제음주에 대한 선별과 음주관련 현황 조사도구로써 유용하다 하겠다. 본 연구는 농촌지역사회 인구를 대상으로 한 CAGE, AUDIT의 타당도 검증을 목적으로 한 연구는 아니었지만, 지금까지 한글로 번역된 문제성 음주의 선별도구들의 타당도 조사가 병원에 방문한 환자를 중심으로 이루어졌다는 점을 감안하면, 이후 연구에서 지역사회에서의 CAGE, AUDIT의 타당도 조사가 이루어질 필요가 있겠다. 음주에 대한 인식에 있어 문제음주 집단이 문제음주가 아닌 집단보다 대체로 적정 음주량이나 음주문화에 관대한 편으로 나타나 농촌지역의 문제음주자의 상당수는 문제음주를 인식하지 못하고 습관적으로 음주를 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 여가 활동에 있어서 문제 음주자와 문제음주가 아닌 집단 간에 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 농촌사회 여가활동의 대부분이 혼자 TV보거나 아니면 마을회관 등에서 이웃과 모여서 놀면서 습관적 음주가 일어나는 단순한 형태로 이루어지고 있어 적절한 여가활용을 통한 절주프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 여겨진다. 본 연구는 농촌지역의 지역사회 내 음주현황과 문제음주를 일으키는 음주행태와 음주문화, 여가 활용 등의 여러 관련요인에 대한 이해를 할 수 있게 할 것이다. 농촌지역에서 건강한 음주문화를 정착시키고 문제음주율을 낮추기 위해서는, 문제음주와 습관성 음주에 대한 올바른 인식을 확대시키고, 음주를 대체할 수 있는 건강한 여가시간 활용을 위해 지역사회 기반시설과 프로그램 마련 등의 노력을 계획해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 이렇게 함으로써 농촌 지역에서의 절주 프로그램이 실효를 거둘 것으로 생각되며 이를 통해 농촌인구의 건강증진에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the alcohol drinking pattern of parents and to analyze drinking related factors in problem drinking among adolescent's parents. Method: This study was conducted through a structured questioning from November 5th to 22th in 2002. Those are 2,522 parents of the students of the 1st and 2nd grade who were selected randomly among 26 middle and high schools located in Socho-gu, Seoul. Data was analyzed using SAS program that included descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. Result: 1. For frequency of drinking, 33.1％ of the subjects responded to drink two-four times a month, 26.0％ drink more than two times a week. 2. For the amount of drinking, 29.6％ drink one or two glasses while 9.4％ drink over ten glasses at a time. 3. The mean AUDIT score was 8.27 7.02(score of range: 0- 40). 4. Based on AUDIT score, drinkers with less than eight point from AUDIT(normal group) were 55.1％, from more than eight point to less than twelve point from AUDIT(problematic drinker) were 16.3％, and more than twelve point from AUDIT(alcohol abuse and dependency) were 28.6％. 5. Based on more than twelve point from AUDIT, female(mother), high school and, have religion, housekeeper were the significantly higher score than counter parts. Conclusion: Alcohol drinking pattern and level of drinking of their parents links to their children's drinking and results in family, social, and national loss. Active prevention is needed. Specially, pertinent education about drinking and public education for mothers who are housekeepers should be carried out with concentrated intervention programs for the problematic drinker so alcohol abuse and dependency can be reduced.

In this paper we have developed a mathematical model of alcohol abuse. It consists of four compartments corresponding to four population classes, namely, moderate and occasional drinkers, heavy drinkers, drinkers in treatment and temporarily recovered class. Basic reproduction number $R_0$ has been determined. Sensitivity analysis of $R_0$ identifies ${\beta}_1$, the transmission coefficient from moderate and occasional drinker to heavy drinker, as the most useful parameter to target for the reduction of $R_0$. The model is locally asymptotically stable at disease free or problem free equilibrium (DFE) $E_0$ when $R_0$ < 1. It is found that, when $R_0$ = 1, a backward bifurcation can occur and when $R_0$ > 1, the endemic equilibrium $E^*$ becomes stable. Further analysis gives the global asymptotic stability of DFE. Our aim of this analysis is to identify the parameters of interest for further study with a view for informing and assisting policy-makers in targeting prevention and treatment resources for maximum effectiveness.

In this paper we have constructed a mathematical model of alcohol abuse which consists of four compartments corresponding to four population classes, namely, moderate and occasional drinkers, heavy drinkers, drinkers in treatment and temporarily recovered class. Basic reproduction number $R_0$ has been determined and sensitivity analysis of $R_0$ indicates that ${\beta}1$ (the transmission coefficient from moderate and occasional drinker to heavy drinker) is the most useful parameter for preventing drinking habit. Stability analysis of the model is made using the basic reproduction number. The model is locally asymptotically stable at disease free or problem free equilibrium (DFE) $E_0$ when $R_0&lt;1$. It is found that, when $R_0=1$, a backward bifurcation can occur and when $R_0&gt;1$, the endemic equilibrium $E^*$ becomes stable. Further analysis gives the global asymptotic stability of DFE under some conditions. Our important analytical findings are illustrated through computer simulation. Epidemiological implications of our analytical findings are addressed critically.

Objectives: This study investigated the average number of drinkers in Korea, the number of high-risk drinkers, the average amount of alcohol consumed by high-risk drinkers, and the types of alcohol consumed according to the characteristics of the group of dependent drinkers. Methods: The results were obtained by analyzing the following data: The Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health; Country Profile 2014; WHO Country Profile 2014; Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014, Korean Statistical Information Service; National Tax Statistics-Liquor Tax; Gallup Drinking Frequency Survey 2015 Results: This study found that a large proportion of drinkers in Korea are already high-risk drinkers, and even among drinkers, alcohol consumption was highly biased. It was reported that 49.8% of men in the problem, abuse, and dependence groups accounted for 92.4% of total alcohol consumption among the male population. Notably, the 9.6% of men making up the dependent group consumed more than 30% of the alcohol ingested among males. Women had significant variations within groups that were considered high-risk and exhibited a large share of alcohol consumption in the problem (10.0% of the female population), abuse (1.8% of the female population), and dependence (1.5% of the female population) groups, constituting 72.8% of total alcohol consumption. The average amount of alcohol consumed by drinkers in Korea seems to have exceeded the level of intake by high-risk groups. Alcohol-dependent groups consumed 900.7 mL of soju, 405.2 mL of table wine, and 2,043.8 mL of beer, which is very similar to the consumption average of 2,031 mL of beer and 895.2 mL of soju in the drinking group. Conclusion: It has been shown that men's dependence on alcohol is serious, and it is possible to infer that alcohol consumption in some vulnerable groups is very high. As the average alcohol intake among alcohol-dependent groups and ordinary drinkers is very similar, it is highly likely that the drinker is an alcohol-dependent consumer in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of personality characteristics on drinking patterns and drinking-related problems Subjects were selected through convenience sampling from the two universities in Kyung-Ki area Data were collected from Nov. 1st to Dec. 20th 2000 using a structured questionnaire that including general characteristics, Q-F(Quantity-Frequency) Methods, Personality Scales and Drinking-related Problem Scales. The results of this study show 1. 50.8% of subjects were heavy drinkers. 2. Heavy drinker scores higher on drinking-related problems and amount of smoking than light drinkers. 3. The Drinking patterns and drinking-related problems of heavy drinkers were selected to the influence of a depressive-tendency in personality and the amount of smoking. The results of this study suggest that the drinking-related problems of male university students are selected to the influence of depressive and anti-social characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary that further study on various nursing interventions be done and that personality be taken into consideration in developing programs aimed of preventing drinking-related problems in heavy drinkers.
