A high prevalence of Opisthorchis viverrini infection is usually found in wetland geographical areas of Thailand where people have traditional behavior of eating uncooked freshwater fish dishes which results in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) development. There were several approaches for reducing opisthorchiasis-linked CCA, but the prevalence remains high. To develop community participation as a suitable model for CCA prevention is, firstly, to know what factors are related. We therefore aimed to investigate factors associated with the community participation in CCA prevention among rural residents in wetland areas of Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. This was a cross-sectional analytic study. All participants were 30-69 years of age, and only one member per house was invited to participate. A total of 906 participants were interviewed and asked to complete questionnaires. Independent variables were socio-demographic parameters, knowledge, health belief and behavior to prevent CCA. The dependent variable was community participation for CCA prevention. Descriptive statistics were computed as number, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Associations were assessed using logistic regression analysis with a P-value <0.05 considered statistically significant. Of all the participants, more than 60% had regularly participated in activities to prevent CCA following health officials advice. Age and health behavior to prevent CCA were factors associated with community participation for CCA (p<0.001). Both factors will be taken into consideration for community participation approaches for CCA prevention through participatory action research (PAR) in future studies.

과학기술 분야의 시민참여의 필요성과 정당성은 이미 충분히 인정되고 있다. 이에 따라서 여러 국가에서 이를 제도화하고 있으며 많은 STS학자들은 이를 대상으로 연구를 진행하고 있다. 그러나 최근 들어 비제도화된 시민참여 혹은 사회운동적 성격을 지닌 시민참여에 대한 관심이 부각되고 있다. 이는 그동안 진행된 제도화된 시민참여에 초점을 맞춘 연구들이 포괄하지 못한 것으로서 시민참여의 다양한 양상과 역동성을 보여주고 있다. 이 연구는 비제도화된 시민참여와 이와 유사한 문제의식을 나타내고 있는 '수행되지 않은 과학(Undone Science)' 등에 대한 이론적 논의를 간략하게 정리하고, 이를 통해서 살펴볼 수 있는 한국의 2가지 사례를 구체적으로 분석해볼 것이다. 첫 번째 사례는 '환경보건' 분야로서, 이 분야는 한국에서 2000년대 초에 본격적으로 정책 연구의제로 등장하였고 이어서 법제도화 되었다. 두 번째 사례는 산업보건 분야에서 2000년대 초부터 크게 쟁점화 되었던 '근골격계 직업병' 문제이다. 우리는 이 두 사례를 통해서 시민사회 노동조합이 '환경보건'과 근골격계 직업병' 문제를 제기하면서 어떻게 이 문제들을 정부의 정책 연구 의제로 만들었는가를 살펴보게 될 것이다. 이는 한국에서 비제도화된 시민참여 혹은 '수행되지 않은 과학' 하기가 어떤 식으로 나타나고 있는지를 보여줄 것이다.

Background: Due to the asymmetry of information and knowledge and the power of bureaucrats and medical professionals, it is not easy for citizens to participate in health care policy making. This study analyzes the case of the insured organization participating in the Health Insurance Policy Committee (HIPC) and provides a basis for discussing methods and conditions for better public participation. Methods: Qualitative analysis was conducted using the in-depth interviews with the participants and document data such as materials for HIPC meetings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposively sampled six participants from organizations representing the insured in HIPC. The meanings related to the factors affecting participation were found and categorized into major categories. Results: The main factors affecting participating in the decision making process were trust and cooperation among the participants, structure and procedure of governance, representation and expertise of participants, and contents of issues. Due to limited cooperation, participants lacked influence in important decisions. There was an imbalance in power due to unreasonable procedures and criteria for governance. As the materials for meetings were provided inappropriate manner, it was difficult for participants to understand the contents and comments on the meeting. Due to weak accountability structure, opinions from external stakeholders have not been well received. The participation was made depending on the expertise of individual members. The degree of influence was different depending on the contents of the issues. Conclusion: In order to meet the values of democracy and realize the participation that the insured can demonstrate influence, it is necessary to have a fair and reasonable procedure and a sufficient learning environment. More deliberative structure which reflects citizen's public perspective is required, rather than current negotiating structure of HIPC.

많은 기업이 포화한 내수시장을 벗어나 해외시장으로의 진출을 도모하고 있다. 하지만 바이어 발굴 및 컨텍, 대금결제의 위험성, 최근 쟁점이 되는 자국 보호주의 정책의 강화 등 여러 이유로 해외 진출이 어려운 실정이다. 기업의 UN 공공 조달 참여를 장려하기 위하여 여러 노력이 진행되었다. 하지만, UN 공공 조달의 다양한 기회에도 불구하고 여전히 제한된 규모의 기업만이 참여하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기업의 UN 공공 조달 참여 의향에 영향을 미치는 요인을 기업요인과 제품요인으로 구분하여 설명하였다. 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 UN 공공 조달 참여에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 기업의 사회적 책임과 글로벌 지향성의 중요성을 확인하였다. 이와 함께, UN 공공 조달 참여와 지속가능성 사이의 긍정적인 관계에 관해 설명하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 요인들은 기업의 UN 공공 조달 참여 의향 수준을 높이며 최종적으로 지속가능성 등 기업의 경쟁력 향상에 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: This study aims to examine the trends of mobile-health research in terms of community participation. Methods: A set of 24 peer-reviewed articles were identified for review. Two authors independently reviewed the articles using a literature review matrix and reexamined as a team. Review categories include: general characteristics, research methods, levels and ranges of community participation, and research topics. Results: Most of the articles were published in 2013-2014, including one domestic paper. Multidisciplinary approaches were used in 65% of the studies. Community participation was at low or mid-levels of Arnstein's participation model. In mobile-health research so far, the level of participation tends to improve as more diverse stakeholders participate in health promotion initiatives with mobile-health. The review yielded five types of mobile-health research for community health promotion: improving the quality of primary healthcare through the community health workers' capacity enhancement; improving the data collection capabilities; facilitating exchanges of community information and resources; reinforcing community identity; and monitoring physical environment of the communities. Conclusions: Although at an early stage of research development, application of mobile-health to community health promotion via participation has a potential. Multi-disciplinary approaches should be fostered for further development.
