Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing 6th graders¡¯ alcohol drinking.
Methods: Data were collected by questionnaires from 524 6th-graders in G City. The data were analyzed using SAS 9.1.3 programme.
Results: Of the children, 63.7% had no education about drinking, implying that drinking prevention education is not done properly in elementary schools. In addition, 70.6% of the children experienced drinking. Among those who had drinking experience, 24.9% experienced the first drinking before entrance into elementary school and this was the highest percentage. Logistic regression analysis showed that the predictors are religion, family type, mother¡¯s drinking frequency, and alcohol attitude.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that complementing home environment and parenting education would be effective for reducing children¡¯s drinking. Also, it is recommended that drinking prevention programs for children should be developed in consideration of various factors affecting children¡¯s drinking including the factors identified in the present study, and the effectiveness of those programs should be assessed.
