It is discussed in a social epidemiology that symptom would be regarded as an illness it not by the inhabitants´ socio-economic status, ages and races, and the aspects of health care seeking are various according to the above-mentioned characteristics.
This paper surveyed the symptom recognition and health care seeking following a questionnaire that, of 14 symptom groups presented, which symptom would be regarded an illness necessary for medical treatment, and if it is regarded as an illness, which kind of medical treatment would be thought to be reasonable.
As a result, differently from the general theory of social epidemiology, statistical differences according to independent variables was not found in symptom recognition, which indicates that Korean medical culture is similar between urban and rural areas. But in anticipatory health care seeking, various health care seeking were performed following the symptoms. Especially, general hospitals´ medical care was thought to be more desirable by the inhabitants in city area than in rural area ; younger than orders ; high - incomers than low-incomers ; new or old middle-class or urban laborers than rural farmers ; and the highly educated-than the low educated. Conversely, the tatters seeked some treatments by pharmacy.
