본 연구의 목적은 알코올 문제의 현황을 파악하고 효과적인 음주교육 방안을 모색하기 위한 것이다. 사회문화적 행위로서의 음주행동의 특징을 파악하고 음주로 인한 위해가 우리에게 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 것이다. 음주행동은 한 사람이 속한 사회의 문화와 관습이 허용하는 범위에 따라 그 사회가 공유하는 음주에 대한 태도나 가치의 영향을 받아 학습을 통해 습득하게 된다. 음주는 사망률, 이환율, 유산율, 범죄율 등에 막대한 영향을 끼치고 있으며 이로 인한 사회적 비용과 생명손실은 엄청난 것이다. 매스미디어를 통한 음주교육은 다른법적 제재와 병행될 때 효과적이다. 음주연령이나 세금부과 등을 통해 음주행위를 통제하는 것이 가능하다. 음주교육의 주기능은 법령과 처벌에 대한 두려움(perceived fear)를 높이는 것이다. 음주행위에 관용적인 사회 분위기를 변화시키는 것이 법령이나 처벌보다 더 효과적이다. 과도한 음주행위에 대한 비판적인 사회적 분위기와 같은 비공식적인 사회적인 제재가 음주문제의 예방에 더욱 중요하다. 청소년의 음주행위는 부모와 동료집단과의 관계에 의해 크게 영향을 받기 때문에 부모와 동료집단의 참여하에 객관적인 태도를 통해 자율적인 결정을 할 수 있도록 유도해야 한다. 음주교육에 대해 지식과 경험을 갖춘 교사가 교육을 실시하여야 하며 소그룹 활동을 통해 음주문제에 대한 이해와 바람직한 태도를 습득하게 하고 동료집단의 압력을 거부할 수 있는 능력을 키우는 것이 필요하다. 교사는 편견이 없는 객관적인 태도를 갖추어야 하고 최종적 결정은 지식에 근거하여 청소년이 하도록 하여야 한다. 음주는 가정불화, 좌절감, 실업, 이혼 둥의 부정적 감정과 연관되어 있으며 깊은 인간관계를 통한 상담이 효과적이다. 단주친목과 같은 자발적인 민간단체는 알코올 문제를 가진 사람들이 서로 모여 친목하는 가운데 도움과 치료를 받을 수 있다는 점에서 매우 효과적이다. 이러한 단체의 활용이 더욱 확대되어야 한다. 병원에서의 음주교육은 노조의 참여하에 전문적인 의료인들에 의해 이루어져야 한다. 이전에 알코올중독에서 회복된 사람을 동료교육가(peer educator)로 활용하는 것도 효율적인 교육방법중의 하나이다. 의과대학의 교과과정에 음주교육에 대한 내용을 더욱 확대하여야 한다. 음주교육은 음주라는 행위의 저변에 깔린 문화적 심리적 요인에 대한 깊은 이해를 토대로 계획되고 실시되어야 한다. 음주교육은 지역사회 전체의 참여를 통해 부모, 학생, 정부, 민간단체, 매스미디어의 공동참여를 통한 다각적인 접근이 요구된다.

Despite previous literatures suggesting the co-occurrence of substance abuse and behavioral addiction, their relationship has not been systematically explored. Especially, college students are a high risk group for alcohol use and gambling activities and they have various psychosocial problems due to addictive behaviors. This study aimed to empirically examine that drinking problems predict gambling problems among college students. A total of 455 college students who experienced drinking and gambling completed a survey. Logistic regression analysis were performed. After adjusting for demographics and family related variables, drinking problems predicted the occurrence of problem gambling. Implications for social work practice, policy planning and research area on addiction are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of Socio-demographic Characteristics, perceived stress and depression of college students in Daegu and Kyungbuk provinces on problem drinking behavior. The subjects of the study were 295 college students who understood and agreed on the purpose of this study and conducted questionnaires using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that depression was the most influential factor in the problem drinking behavior of college students in Daegu and Kyungbuk provinces, followed by gender, academic performance, and residental type. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an intervention program that takes into account the social psychological approach to prevent depression of college students and the characteristics of gender, academic performance, and residental type in order to prevent problem drinking of college students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the drinking behaviors of adult mentally retarded persons(N=140) over the age of 18. It was also investigated whether gender, age, and pattern of employment create different result of drinking behaviors, whether there is correlation between variables associated with drinking behaviors for mentally retarded persons. 58.2 percent of respondent reported that they had consumed alcohol beverages sometimes prior to their having been interviewed. Average age of respondents who had consumed alcohol was 26.357 years and average age of first-use of alcohol was 22 years. 39.2 percent of respondent reported that they drink alcohol once a month. Beer(54.2 percent) was the most frequently consumed alcohol beverages. Average alcohol consumption per occasion was 1.494 cup, and 10.9 percent of respondent answered more than 5 cups per occasion. Regarding problems associated with drinking, 16 percent of respondent of AUDIT and 51.4 percent of Family CAGE answered that their children have drinking-related problems. Men(64.2 percent) drink more than women(43.6 percent) and experience more alcohol problem. Regarding drinking behaviors associated with the pattern of employment, supervised employment group(78.6 percent) was known as the most prevalent group of experiencing drinking. For the amount of drinking, gender(p<.05) and pattern of employment(p<.05) had shown the significant differences. There were significant positive correlation between the frequency of drinking and the amount of drinking, and AUDIT and Family CAGE.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to explore the subjective experiences of problem drinkers participating in the early intervention program for moderate alcohol drinking. Methods : A qualitative descriptive study design was used. Data were collected through individual interviews with thirteen problem drinkers and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results : The experiences of the problem drinkers participating in the early intervention program were derived from four themes and nine sub-themes in terms of awareness, alcohol expectancies, perceived self-efficacy and behavioral change. They participated in programs offered in the workplace, and there were differences in motivation level among individuals, but generally accepted the necessity of the program. Participants who had trust with the program provider were more likely to change drinking behavior. Conclusion : Problem drinkers who participated in the early intervention program showed that it is a useful approach to change the problem drinking behavior by promoting awareness of alcohol-related knowledge, motivation for change through acquiring enough information and acquisition of self-efficacy as a behavior skill. These findings can be used as basic information for implementing and adapting early intervention for prevention of alcoholism in primary health care setting including workplace.

Despite the enforcement of minimum legal drinking age of 18 years of age since 1997, alcohol experimentation among Korean youth is believed to be greater than ever before. The use of alcohol jeopardizes physical, mental, and social development during a person's formative years, thereby endangering successful transitions from adolescent to adulthood. Even infrequent use of alcohol may result in intoxication and acute consequences, especially among youth, who may have low tolerance due to their smaller body size and may lack experience with the effects of alcohol. Using self-report questionnaire data collected from 1,697 highschool students nation-wide, the drinking behavior among Korean high school students and the relation between adolescents' alcohol expectancy and adolescent alcohol use patterns were examined. Results indicated that gender and the type of school(academic or vocational) were significant effects on the drinking behavior(drinking frequency, experience of drunkenness, the amount of alcohol consumed, experience of binge drinking and that of problems due to drinking). Male students than female students, and students of vocational schools rather than those of academic high schools reported more alcohol experimentation. Also, positive alcohol expectancy proved to have a significant relation with alcohol use among high-school students. That is, students who reported to think alcohol would have a positive effect on socializing, aggressiveness, relaxation of tensions, and enforcing sexual ability tended to drink more, to experience more binge drinking and more drinking problems. Variables of gender and the type of school also were found to have significant effects on alcohol expectancy. Males and students of vocational school held ideas of positive outcomes on drinking than others. Implications for further study on developing prevention programs are presented.
