Abstract
|
|
|
|
The need for and interest in evidence-based health policy-making have increased with the recent development in health care in Korea. Therefore, this research conducts evidence-based evaluation of tobacco control policy for young adults who are highly exposed to the danger of smoking, but rank behind in the priority list among anti-smoking policies that incur significant socioeconomic costs and are of significant importance in public health. Research findings show that research on effectiveness of anti-smoking policies tends to exhibit a skewed distribution depending on policies and lacks policies and research on female smoking. In terms of evaluation of the level of evidence depending on policies, the results show that while research on price policies such as price increase in tobacco exhibits a relatively higher level of evidence than research on non-price policies, anti-smoking policies generally show a low level of evidence. This research proposes the need for systematic operation of policy on tobacco price increase that has shown a meaningful effect on anti-smoking for young adults in both short and long terms, an indepth study of young female smokers, and appropriate research and proactive policy operation in accordance with the new trends in the tobacco industry.
