Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate drinking behaviors and need for programs to prevent drinking problems for university students. Data were obtained from 355 university students in Gyeongbuk region through a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS Windows V.21.0. To describe characteristics of the respondents, frequency distributions were used. In addition, t-test, one-way analysis of variance and Duncan's multiple range tests were conducted. For 'how many times do you drink a month?', 70.4% of the respondents answered they drank '1~5 times a month'. Additionally, for 'how much alcohol do you drink?', 54.1% of the respondents answered they drank 'appropriately'. The main motive for drinking was to promote friendship or celebrate an anniversary such as a birthday, and 44.8% of respondents started drinking from high school days. Many respondents took meals before drinking, and smokers smoked more while drinking. Intention to participate in education or programs related to desirable drinking was low compared to their necessity. The level of information on 'health problems caused by excessive drinking' was highest among information needs related to drinking.
