Objectives: This study was done for the purpose of revitalization of the health improvement project by looking into major influence factors on the health examination of local residents in a city area.
Methods: The research data was collected using a survey of the local residents in Wonju-City, Gangwondo. The survey was held between Oct. 4th to Oct. 15th, 2004. And, it was done as a household interview survey. The independent variables used were socio-demographic characteristics, health status, health concern, and health behaviors. The dependent variable was whether or not the respondent did take a cancer screening test.
Results: In case of men, the execution rate of cancer screening was higher for those who had spouses, who were having no experience of a disease, who drank, and who did exercise. In the case of women, the execution rate of cancer screening was higher in the cases who had spouses, who had high income levels, and who were making an effort for their health.
Conclusion: To raise the execution rate of health examination, more research on the major factor of cancer screening is necessary.
