생명윤리 및 안전에 관한 법률은 인체유래물연구와 인체유래물은행에 관하여 일련의 규율을 가하고 있다. 같은 법은 인체유래물연구에 대하여는 연구목적을 정하여 설명 후 동의를 받게 하는 반면, 인체유래물은행의 경우 연구목적을 정하지 아니한 채 기증받게 한다. 나아가 보건복지부령으로 정하는 인체유래물 연구 동의서식을 보면 연구목적을 정하는 경우에도 '포괄적으로 연구에 대하여' 동의하는 개방동의·백지동의가 허용된다. 덧붙여 2019. 4. 23. 개정된 제42조의2는 진단·치료과정에서 채취된 인체유래물의 잔여검체에 대하여 본인이 거부의사를 명시하지 아니하는 한 목적도 정하지 아니한 채 인체유래물은행에 제공하는 것을 허용한다. 이러한 입법은 과도하다고 보인다. 국제적으로 인체유래물기증자의 자율성과 인체유래물은행 및 인체유래물연구의 특성을 고려할 때 포괄동의를 수용할 필요가 있음은 부정하기 어렵다. 그러나 인체유래물연구에는 생명윤리 및 안전에 관한 법률 이외에 종종 개인정보 보호법도 적용되고 국내·외적으로 이 영역에서는 개방동의·백지동의는 물론, 포괄동의의 허용성도 논란의 대상이었음을 염두에 둘 필요가 있다. 또 근래의 발전된 정보통신기술에 비추어볼 때 완전한 동적동의는 아니라 하더라도 특히 위험한 경우에는 동적동의를 통한 특정동의요건의 충족이 필요하고 가능한 사안도 있다. 이는 인체유래물의 제2차적 사용 내지 인체유래물은행의 운영에 관한 거버넌스 설계와 그에 대한 설명 후 동의 및 인체유래물기증자에 대한 투명성, 인체유래물기증자의 참여권 보장을 포함한다.

Objectives: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) is a national surveillance system that has been assessing the health and nutritional status of Koreans since 1998. Based on the National Health Promotion Act, the surveys have been conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). Methods: An oral examination as part of The National Health and Nutrition Examination was proposed to calculate the sample design and survey participation. The surveying system was presented by classifying the measurement environment, screening, and survey items by year, and the merits and limitations of using the data were suggested by examining the status of survey quality management and the process of disclosing raw data. Results: This nationally representative cross-sectional survey samples approximately 10,000 individuals each year and collects information on oral examinations and oral health interviews. Data for the oral health component of KNHANES was obtained to assess the oral health status of Koreans and determine the prevalence of dental caries and periodontitis. The oral health data quality control of KNHANES was composed of three parts: "Education Program" and "Field Training Program" for quality control of oral health examiners (dentists) by the professional academy, and "Data management" by the KCDC. After completion of the three-step data check, the indicators of dental caries, periodontal disease, and oral health behavior were published in the National Health Statistics. Conclusions: To achieve the goals of oral health indicators, we will continue to monitor so that we can use it as basic data for oral policies and carry out various linkage analyses related to oral diseases.

With a rapid growth of domestic industry in korea, now about 25,000 kinds of chemicals are being distributed, and it has been known that just about 15% of them has toxic substances. Recently, South Koreans have an anxiety about the stability and accidents of chemicals because chemical accidents like Gumi hydrofluoric acid accident have occurred. The U.S. has adopted the systems like EPCRA (Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act), TRI (Toxic Release Inventory) and TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act), and is also managing the hazardous chemicals by providing the information about them to its people and site workers. Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare also has adopted J-CHECK system and is implementing it to let Japanese people know the information of safety of chemicals about REACH. However, the Korean government has a difficult situation to mediate the different idea with the Korean industry to make lower statute of Pre-legislation registration & evaluation of chemicals that will be implemented and Chemical Material Control Association that is being implemented. Especially city and country areas located in the industrial areas need political improvement focusing on vulnerable area through the check about current situation of hazardous chemicals of jurisdiction and management method, but the information about the management situation of small scale work places is insufficient. Therefore this study set up the urgent management area in Ansan Smart Hub through NFPA code according to the types of accident and dander characteristics of each chemical being used in the companies that have less than 50 workers and deal with chemicals located in Ansan Smart Hub in Gyeonggi-do.

Cancer illness representations and screening history among residents of Kolkata, India, were investigated along with socio-demographic characteristics in an effort to understand possible motivations for health behavior. A total of 106 participants were recruited from community locations in Kolkata, India and completed surveys including demographics, the illness perception questionnaire-revised (IPQ-R), and previous experience with cancer and screening practices. Participants were 51.5% college educated, 57% female, 51.5% full-time employed with average age of 32.7 years (R: 18-60 years). Descriptive statistics were generated for the subscales of the IPQ-R, cancer-screening practices and cancer experience. Correlation analyses were conducted to investigate associations between cancer representations and socio-demographic variables. Univariate ANOVAs were calculated to determine gender differences in IPQ-R subscales and differences between participants who knew someone diagnosed with cancer versus those who did not. While 76% of participants knew someone with cancer, only 5% of the sample engaged in cancer screening. Participants perceived cancer as a serious illness with negative emotional valence. Younger age (r(100)=-.36, p<0.001) and male gender (F(1, 98)=5.22, p=0.01, ${\eta}_2$=0.05) were associated with better illness coherence. Males also reported greater personal control (F(1, 98)=5.34, p=0.02, ${\eta}_2$=0.05) were associated with better illness coherence. Low screening rates precluded analyses of the relationship between illness representations and cancer screening. Cancer was viewed as a threatening and uncontrollable disease among this sample of educated, middle class Kolkata residents. This view may act as a barrier to seeking cancer screening. Public awareness campaigns aimed at improving understanding of the causes, symptoms and consequences of cancer might reduce misunderstandings and fear, especially among women and older populations, who report less comprehension of cancer.

의료인이 직접 환자를 진료하는 형태의 원격진료가 현행 의료법에서 허용이 되는지 여부와 의료법상 허용을 떠나 정책적으로 허용하는 것이 바람직한지의 문제가 오랫동안 논란이 되어 왔다. 그러다가 코비드19라는 인류가 드물게 겪는 팬데믹 상황으로 인하여 우리나라에서 한시적으로 허용이 되었고 외국에서도 이용이 폭발적으로 증가하면서 다시 관심을 받고 있다. 원격진료의 허용 여부에 관하여는 이미 많은 논문이 존재하지만, 막상 원격진료가 실시될 경우 그에 수반되어 발생할 수 있는 부수적인 법적 쟁점들에 관하여는 논의가 부족했던 부분이 있어 이 글에서 다루었다. 필자는 국민건강보험의 수가정책, 환자 본인 확인, 의약품 비대면 구매, 진료장면 녹화에 관하여는 입법적으로 미리 정비를 하는 것이 바람직하다고 보았고, 원격진료에 필요한 시설 기준은 오히려 법제화를 하면 현실에 뒤떨어지거나 변화에 대응하는 탄력성이 떨어지므로 법제화를 하지 않고 대신 의료인이 의료기기법상 승인을 받은 원격진료용 기기를 사용하는 것으로 충분하다고 판단하였으며, 끝으로 원격진료의 맥락에서 발생한 의료사고의 책임이라든가 개인정보 보호는 기존의 민사법이나 개인정보 보호법으로 이미 충분한 대응이 되므로 별도의 특칙을 제정할 필요는 없다는 결론을 내렸다.

Korea has 30 years of experiences in environmental impact assessment (EIA). Although EIA includes sanitation-public health factor, considering health impacts, among 74 unit projects of 17 sections, health impacts haven't been properly considered or have been ignored in many cases. The increasing awareness on the importance of health impacts has triggered this study to seek an optimal introduction scheme of health impact assessment (HIA). The processes of EIA already include screening, scoping, analysis, impact assessment, consultation, document review, decision making and monitoring, in which they would be the essential parts of HIA. In this context, integrating HIA into the existing EIA process could be the most effective way to use the benefits in both legal and procedural processes existed and to avoid the confusion and overlapping since the close relationships between environment and health impacts might be. Furthermore, it is desirable that the existing sanitation-public health factor should be substituted by and extended to environment-health factor with sufficient determinants to properly consider health impacts. When considering the first step of HIA, the prospective and qualitative approach is suitable more than the retrospective and quantitative one due to the lack of database accumulated. Similarly, an approach based on epidemiology and toxicology could analyze the limited evidences and impacts related to human disease, whereas one based on socio-science and psychology could provide the effective means available for predicting how the people and community will act by the change of surroundings. Checklist approach with various and comprehensive health determinants focused on prospective and qualitative methods will be very useful for more convenient and progressive dissemination of HIA. Various checklist approaches of toolkits could be found from HIA documents elsewhere, for example Westminster Toolkit, and they would be helpful to figure out how to develop common procedures and health determinants for checklist, in which the unique characteristics on korean cultural and political context compared to abroad should be carefully considered since checklist would be the most basic and essential part of HIA. After the establishment of checklist and procedural processes, the pilot projects should be conducted. Main purpose of pilot projects is to apparently prove the effectiveness and profitability of HIA. Pilot projects should be implemented to decide the effectiveness and suitability of HIA for future projects, programs and policies, and should be provided as the positive cases that can be achieved through the proper implementation and progress.
