Background: To determine the prevalence, types, and risk factors of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) among a group of Arab Jordanian dental patients, and to evaluate their awareness and attitudes toward early diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,041 patients attending a University Hospital for dental care were examined for the presence of OPMDs. Histopathological examination was performed on all cases clinically diagnosed and patients were directly interviewed to evaluate their knowledge and attitudes toward early detection and treatment of oral cancer. Results: The prevalence of OPMDs overall was 2.8%. Lichen planus/lichenoid lesions were the most common lesions (1.8%) followed by leukoplakias (0.48%), chronic hyperplastic candidiosis (0.38%), and erythroplakia (0.096%). Smoking, alcohol, and age (>40 years) were the main identifiable risk factors. Patients with OPMDs displayed a general lack of awareness and negative attitudes towards early diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions: OPMDs among Arab dental patients are relatively uncommon and awareness about oral cancer among Jordanian dental patients is low. Interventions to improve public knowledge about oral cancer and attitudes toward early diagnosis and treatment are urgently indicated.

Background: Changes in the attitudes and behavior of relatives of breast cancer patients concerning cancer prevention and screening after diagnosis in a loved one were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Forty-three questions were used to collect data from the relatives of the breast cancer patients who had been living with their relatives for at least one year. Results: The study group was composed of 171 female relatives (median age: 43, range: 17-82 yr). After the patients were diagnosed with breast cancer, changes in the attitudes and behavior of their relatives toward the prevention and screening of cancer were evident in 78 (45.6%) of the study participants (e.g. eating habits, quit or reduced smoking, exercise habits). In addition, it was noted that some characteristics of the relatives had different effects on different attitudes and behavior. Conclusions: Awareness on breast cancer among the relatives of breast cancer patients is useful for the management of health and social problems that can be seen in these individuals. At the same time, this information could help countries determine whether their actual level of healthcare for early cancer diagnosis, prevention, and screening are adequate.

This study was conducted to investigate nutritional knowledge, dietary attitudes, and dietary behaviors of adult women, and to examine if these characteristics were different by acne status. Subjects were 106 adult women residing in Seoul recruited from clients and employers at skin care centers, and housewives from apartment complexes. Surrey instrument was adapted or modified based on literature review and dietary intakes were assessed using 24-hour recalls for two days and CAN-pro. All data was statistically analyzed using x$^2$test and ANOVA. When examined by acne status, 41.5% of subjects were categorized into acne group, 20.8% were as ex-acne group, and 37.7% as no-acne group. Parental experience of acne was significantly related to acne status(p〈 0.01). Education, employmental status, and smoking or drinking status were not related to acne status. Subjects had a moderate level of nutritional knowledge(72.7 point) and the nutritional knowledge store was not significantly different by acne status. When examined by individual items, the groups showed significant difference on the items regarding vitamin C and necessity of carbohydrates(p 〈 0.05). Subjects showed favorable dietary attitudes. Although the acne group showed more favorable attitudes on the importance of nutrition on acne, the overall dietary attitudes of the acne group were not significantly different from the ex-acne group or no-acne group. Similarly only small differences were noticed in dietary behaviors or nutrient intakes by acne status. Cholesterol consumption was hitgher in the no-acne group than in the acne group or ex-acne group(p 〈 0.01). The intakes of energy, iron, and calcium was much below the RDA in three groups. Although there were not many significant differences in nutritional knowledge, dietary attitudes, and dietary behaviors by acne status, this study provided some baseline information regarding study variables by acne status.

청소년을 위한 학교 흡연예방 프로그램은 사회심리 이론에 근거한 프로그램이 대체로 성공적이었다고 알려져 있으나, 각 프로그램의 효과 정도에는 많은 차이가 있다. 이 연구는 다른 메타 분석처럼 전체적인 프로그램 효과도를 측정하여 일반적인 결론을 유도한 것이 아니라, 프로그램의 효과와 관계가 깊은 요인 (Explanatory Variables)을 자세히 파악하여 보건교육 담당자, 연구원, 또는 정책 결정자들에게 구체적인 가이드라인을 제공하는 데에 목적을 두고 있다. 주요한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 8-12학년 학생들보다는 초등학교에서 중등학교로 바뀌는 5-7학년 학생들에게 흡연예방 프로그램은 더 효과가 있었다. 2. 연구 방법론에 있어서는 experimental design, random assignment, 순수 비교그룹을 사용하였을 경우, implementation fidelity와 instrument reliability가 높은 경우, 또는 10% 미만의 attrition rates일 때 프로그램 효과도 (effect size)가 더 높게 나타났다. 3. 프로그램 실행 시 또래 리더를 사용하였을 경우, 알코올 등 다른 약물을 배제한 담배만을 중점적으로 다루었을 경우, 적어도 10회 이상 연속적으로 이루어지거나 프로그램 종료 후 일년 뒤에 추가 프로그램이 주어진 경우가 더욱 효과적이었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate determinants of stop smoking. The data on which the analysis was based come from a survey of 355 middle-aged men in Seoul. The data was analyzed using proportion, x²-test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The following were the results; 1. Success rate of stop smoking is 19.9% of 229 persons who attempted to quit smoking. 2. As for the number of quit attempts, 33.3% of ex-smokers tried once; 25.4% of current smokers tried twice. 3. As for methods of quit attempts ex-smokers showed higher tendency in using will power and books/guides than current smokers who in using will power alone. 4. For the attitudes on smoking of family, the majority of ex-smokers and current smokers were opposed absolutely. 5. The main opposite to smoking were wives in cases of both ex-smokers and current smokers, but More ex-smokers answered that the main opposite to smoking were others than current smokers. 6. As for the measures of smoking in the office, more ex-smokers answered inviting than current smokers and more current smokers assigned a smoking spot than ex-smokers. 7. Majority of ex-smokers approve of restriction at public spot strongly. 8. As for the attitude about caution on a cigarette case, more ex-smokers insisted than current smokers. 9. There was a relation between the degree of exposure about knowledge and the degree of knowledge. 10. Stepwise Multiple Regression portray that following factors influence stop smoking in order named. (1) attitude on the smoking restriction at public spot, (2) methods of quit attempt, (3) attitude about caution on cigarette case. Even so, it turned out that these factors alone can explain only 20% of self-examination. Therefore study for the other factors ought to be continued. I submit following suggestions ending this study. 1. Continuous study of the other factors affecting stop smoking must be carried on. 2. Since there was a relation the degree of exposure about knowledge and the degree of knowledge, efficient health education is required using campaign and mass media.

이 연구는 한국과 미국의 텔레비전 금연 광고를 내용분석하여 어떤 차이를 보이는지를 조사하고자 하였다. 금연 광고의 메시지 구성에 있어서 모델이 되는 이론들에서 제시하는 요소를 종합하고 이러한 요소가 실제 한국과 미국의 금연광고에서 어떤 방식으로 나타나는지를 분석하고, 특히 한국과 미국의 문화적인 차이에 따른 광고 메시지의 차이를 발견하는 것을 주요 연구문제로 설정하였다. 이를 위해 2005년부터 2012년까지 한국의 금연광고와 같은 기간의 미국 금연광고를 샘플링하여 총 71개의 TV광고를 건강증진재단의 자료를 통해서 내용 분석하였다. 그 결과 금연광고는 건강 커뮤니케이션의 핵심 이론인 건강신념모델, 합리적행동이론, 사회인지이론등을 바탕으로 제작되었으며 이론적 토대를 바탕으로 시청자들에게 흡연에 대한 태도를 부정적으로 만들고 흡연을 하지 않게 하는 행동적인 목적을 수행하고 있음을 밝혔다. 조사결과에 따르면 한국의 금연광고는 사회적 규범의 메시지를 가장 많이 이용하였고, 그 다음으로는 흡연에 대한 태도 메시지를 사용하였으며, 자기효능감이나 모델링을 사용한 메시지는 가장 적게 사용한 반면, 미국의 경우에는 자기효능감이나 모델링을 사용한 메시지가 가장 많았다. 이러한 차이의 이유는 문화적 차이에서 기인하는 것으로 판단하였다. 금연광고에서 사용된 정서는 국가별 차이가 존재하지 않았으며 양국 모두 공포와 유머가 제일 빈번하게 사용되었으며 슬픔이나 단순정보전달, 분노는 상대적으로 적게 사용되었다. 청소년층만을 대상으로 광고가 제작된 경우는 양국 모두 많지 않았다. 이 연구에서는 금연광고에서 자주 사용된 메시지 유형과 그렇지 않은 유형을 발견함으로써 건강 커뮤니케이션의 이론적 요소가 실제로 어떻게 사용되고 있는지를 연구함으로써 금연광고의 학문적 이해에 기여하였다.

This study investigated the correlations among the health consciousness, nutrition knowledge, dietary habits and nutrition attitudes of school teachers. The subjects of this study were 75 male and 152 female leachers in elementary and middle schools in Masan city. The survey was conducted by using a questionnaire. Even though the average body mass index (BMI) and the obesity index were normal in both male and female subjects, 33.3% of the male subjects were overweight/obese, while 18.5% of the female subjects were underweight, according to the obesity index. The food components of most concern during mealtime were (in order of importance) salt, MSG and cholesterol by male subjects, and salt, fat and MSG by female subjects. The subjects considered self-relaxation as the most important factor in maintaining optimal health status, followed by resting, bathing or use ova sauna, moderation in diet, exercise, decreasing alcohol intake, and no smoking. Newspapers/magazines and TV/radio were the primary sources of nutrition and health information of the subjects. As the degree of health consciousness increased, scores of the dietary habits and nutrition attitudes increased. Nutrition knowledge scores and nutrition altitudes scores increased with subjects'increased level of perception of the importance of acquiring nutrition knowledge and nutrition information. There was a highly significant correlation between the degree of health consciousness and dietary habit score (${\gamma}$ : 0.3, p<0.001). The degree of health consciousness was also significantly correlated (${\gamma}$=0.6, p<0.001) with nutrition attitudes scores. But the correlation between the degree of health consciousness and nutrition knowledge was not statistically significant. The degree of the perception of the importance of nutrition knowledge showed a positive correlation with nutrition attitude (${\gamma}$:0.4, p<0.001) and dietary habit (${\gamma}$:0.3, p<0.001). The degree of perception about the importance of nutrition knowledge and nutrition information was positively correlated with nutrition knowledge (${\gamma}$:0.2, p<0.001) and nutrition attitudes (${\gamma}$:0.3, p<0.001).

The purpose of this study was to examine the conditions of drug use and to find the main factors that lead students to start and select drugs in their circumstances. The "other drugs" in this study means analgesics, hypnotics, stimulants, tranqualizers, and drinks including caffeine. The sample was 1,900 students and 1,412 responses were analyzed. Variables in the study included prescription provision by parents, drug use by friends, attitudes to drugs, drinking and smoking activities, and poly drug use Analysis of the data was done using descritive statistics, chi square, and, to find the determinants on other drug use, multiple logistic regression was performed. Data were analysed by SAS/PC programs. Of the subjects 86.6% of the students have had experienced with alcohol and 49.8% of them continue to use it, and 37.9% of the students have had experienced with smoking and 22.1% of them continue to smoke. The rates of using other drugs were as followed : analgesic 33.3%, hypnotics 4.3%, sedatives 4.4%, stimulants 8.7%, and 242 students have had experienced with more than two different kinds of drugs of the same time including alcohol and smoking. With the exception of alcohol and smoking, 126 students were continuing to use more than two different kinds of drugs. And 2.3 kinds of drugs were the average that were being used at the same time by poly drug users, alcohol and smoking excepting. In conclusion, the determinants of other drug use can be summarized as poly drug use, drug use by friends, obedience to drug prescription of parents, and time of first using drugs.
