Food frequency, food attitude, eating habits and physical activities of Korean-American children and Korean children were compared. Two hundred and sixty two Korean-American children living in New Jersey and New York in the United States of America(KcUS group) and three hundred and thirty one Korean children living in Seoul, Korea (KcK group) between the ages of 9 and 12 were included. There were significant differences in food frequency between these groups. The KcUS group ate more western food, more food at meal time and more snack than the KcK group. In addition, KcUS group slept longer hours and exercised less than KcK group. In this study, we learned that higher rate of obesity in Korean-American children could be partially explained by the difference in food intake, food attitude, eating habit, and physical activities between the two groups. It is suggested that a different approach will be useful in developing nutrition education programs against childhood obesity for the Korean-American children and Korean children.

Objectives : This study examined whether serious psychological distress (SPD) is associated with occupational injury among US employees. Methods : The employed population aged 18-64 years was examined (n=101,855) using data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 2000-2003. SPD was measured using the Kessler 6-item Psychological Distress Scale (K-6), a screening scale designed to identify persons with serious mental illness. The predicted marginal prevalence of psychological distress and occupational injury with the adjusted odds ratio were estimated using multiple logistic regression analyses. Results : The age-adjusted 3-month prevalence of occupational injury was $0.80{\pm}0.12%$ in workers with SPD, which was 37% greater than in workers without SPD ($0.58{\pm}0.03%$). The odds of occupational injury in workers with SPD were higher compared to workers without SPD (OR=1.34, 95% CI=0.93-1.92), after controlling for sex, age, race, education, occupation, and activity limitation by at least one medical condition. Male, service and blue collar occupation, and activity limiation by co-morbidity showed significantly higher odds of occupational injury for workers with SPD. Conclusions : The findings suggest that SPD accounts for an increased likelihood of occupational injury among US employees. A further longitudinal study is needed to differentiate the mechanism or causal pathways linking individual injury risk at the workplace, SPD, and socioeconomic factors.

Black carbon (BC) aerosols were monitored at the KIST site ($37.603^{\circ}N$, $127.046^{\circ}E$) and Cheonan-KOREATECH site ($36.766^{\circ}N$, $127.281^{\circ}E$) during the pre KORea-US Air Quality Study (KORUS-AQ) campaign using a couple of Muliti Angle Absorption Photometers (MAAP). BC mass concentrations were presented as $2.14{\pm}1.06{\mu}g/m^3$ and $0.94{\pm}0.60{\mu}g/m^3$ at KIST site (Seoul) and KOREATECH site (Cheonan), respectively. BC mass concentrations measured at KIST and KOREATECH sites from 22:00 on May 22 to 12:00 on May 23, 2015 showed 80% and 72% higher than average BC mass concentrations measured during campaign period, respectively. It indicates both sites could be influenced by a remote source. Similar patterns of BC concentrations between two sites from 20:00 to 24:00 on June 6, 2015 implies that the BC could be transported into both sites and then be stagnant inside the Korean Peninsula. Diurnal variation of BC in weekdays and weekends were also presented for the KIST and KOREATECH sites. Morning rush hour peak was observed at KIST site located in metropolitan area though no distinct morning rush hour peak was not observed at KOREATECH site located in a suburban area. This study revealed transport pathways of BC near the Korean Peninsula using back-trajectory analysis of BC measured both in a metropolitan area and in a suburban area.

Objectives: Although Asian immigrants have lower rates of smoking and binge drinking than other ethnics in the US, Korean Americans have the highest rate of Asian immigrants. This study, therefore, compared with the rates and examined the predictors of smoking and binge drinking by gender and ethnicity among Asian immigrants in California. Methods: In 2001 and 2003, California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) were conducted in English and their original languages with Asian immigrants residing in 58 Counties and 3 Cities, California. We performed analysis to find out the differences of smoking and binge drinking rates using the secondary data, CHIS 2001 and 2003. Multiple logistic regression analysis for survey data identified predictors of smoking and binge drinking behaviors by gender and ethnicity. Results: Korean American males (35.4%) and Japanese American females (15.4%) had higher rates of smoking prevalence compared with other Asian immigrants in California. In binge drinking, 26.5% of male and 8.1% of female among Korean Americans were binge drinker, and the rates were the top with Asian Americans who had lived in California. It showed the remarkable gap between gender of smoking and binge drinking among Vietnamese immigrants, whereas not the striking difference among Japanese Americans. In multiple regression models, age, educational level, occupation, marital status, English proficiency, and health insurance coverage remained significant for smoking and binge drinking behaviors(P<0.05). Even though the time in the US was not significant, it seemed to be related to educational level and English proficiency. In particular among female, smoking and binge drinking behaviors were associated with acculturation. Conclusion: Although Asian Americans had shared with American culture since they had immigrated in the US, they had significantly different prevalence rates of smoking and binge drinking based on gender and ethnicity. Therefore, future efforts should be focused on understanding differences by ethnicity and target at high-risk subgroups. To achieve this, it needs to develop the educational materials in Korean and their original languages.

독일의 이원화체제 직업교육이 청년실업률에 미치는 효과에 대한 논의를 통해서 우리에게 주는 시사점이 무엇이며, 현재 한국 직업교육의 문제점 개선을 위한 방안을 모색하고자 하는 것이 연구의 목적이다. 독일이 '직업교육훈련법'(Berufsbildungsgesetz)을 근거로 시행하고 있는 이원화체제(duales System) 직업교육제도에 대해 어떤 평가를 받고 있는지, 산·학·관의 협력체제에 대한 구체적인 시스템 구축 형태를 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 제도의 위기와 문제점을 제시할 수 있었다. 독일 직업교육의 이원화 제도에 대한 책임은 국가와 각 주의 교육부에 있으며, 기업의 실무 측면에서는 민간기업 및 상공회의소의 관할 책임이 주어진다. 기업에서의 실무는 기능중심의 교육으로 진행되며, 직업학교에서는 능력중심의 이론교육을 받게 된다. 또한 독일 Idustrie 4.0에 맞는 디지털 직업교육훈련(vocational and education training)과 이원화 학위과정을 통한 고등직업교육의 학위취득에 대한 필요성과 요구를 알 수 있었다. 이러한 모든 수준의 이원적 직업교육훈련(VET)과, 대학의 고등직업교육, 직업계속교육 프로그램 등, 기업의 경쟁력 향상을 위한 인적자원의 개발과 활용이 잘 이루어져 청년실업률이 유럽에서 가장 낮은 것을 볼 수 있었다. 우리나라의 직업교육도 학교와 기업이 동시에 직업교육훈련을 할 수 있는 체제 구축을 통해 실업률을 개선할 수 있을 것이다. 특히 직업학교와 기업의 이원화교육을 위해 우리가 가장 중요하게 생각하고 심도 깊은 논의와 협력을 이끌어 내야할 '노·사·정간의 긴밀한 협의'의 필요성을 독일의 경우를 통해 판단할 수 있었다.

With rapid changes in modern societies, abrupt increases in knowledges and fast conversions in technologies have caused serious generation gaps among members of the family. This have generated problems for housewives who is generally in charge of maintaining and coordinating a family with limited life experiences and knowledges earned only through several years of school education, to resolve every problems evoked in their families. This has made us to realize the needs for the education related to the family life. Especially for middle-aged housewives, this type of education is absolutely required to maintain ideal family relationships, and this can be accomplished by improving their abilities and potentials. The 8-step program to improve the relationship between middle-aged housewives and their children was developed. Overall, this program improved the self-respect and psychological well-being of middle-aged housewives. Also, the relationship with their children was greatly improved through better understanding and communication. This was solely reflected on the quantitative evaluations through pre-and post-tests, so that all the participants scored higher in the post-test.

It is known that the role of informal support for elderly women is critical to their physical and mental health, adjustment in old age, and their overall life satisfaction. Elderly women's situation such as social losses, widowhood, living alone, and geographic relocation etc. may result in a need for more informal supports for elderly women's health than ever before. Particularly, women's same-sex friendships were rated higher for overall quality, intimacy, enjoyment, and nurturance. Unlike a generally accepted notion that later life for women is a time of isolation and loneliness, elderly women tend to maintain and reestablish their friendship regardless their marital status and living situation. Although studies on informal support for elderly women were inconclusive in many ways, elderly women's friendship tends to be stable despite of changing health status and life events. The relative importance between daughters and friends was also controversial. This study suggests that more research with reliable measurements is necessary for the practical prevention and intervention program of elderly women's health on this issue.
