Health behaviors determine people´s health status and the quality of their life. Health education is the most effective method to change people´s health behaviors in modern life. Therefore health education for adolescents is essential to form desirable health behaviors and improve the quality of their life.
This study was administered to analyze important needs for the health education among Chinese, Korean-Chinese adolescents in Gilin, China and Korean adolescents in Seoul, Korea. The data were collected from 387 chinese and 74 Korean-Chinese boys and girls of 3 high schools in Gilin, China and 359 boys and girls of 3 high schools in Seoul, Korea.
The results were as follow :
1. Forty percent of Korean students were sick during the past 4 weeks but only 10.8% of Korean-chinese students had health concern, but only 26.6% of Korean students were interested in health.
2. Korean-chinese and Chinese students had higher health education needs than the Korean. They were not interested in sex education. On the other hand, Korean students were interested in mental health and not interested in consumer health education.
3. Korean-chinese students had more health education needs than Chinese or Korean adolescents and the difference was statistically significant(p<0.05).
4. In Korean-chinese students, family income and academic grades were significantly related to their health education needs(p<0.05). Among Chinese students, recent illness was related to their health education needs. In Korean students, the better health status and the more family income, the higher health education needs.
