|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting the drinking behavior in high school students.
Methods: There were 620 subjects who were first and second graders of seven high schools in Daegu. This study used Sinhaengwoo (1998)’s drinking behavior scale, Rowlison and Felner (1988)’s stress scale, Kovacs (1981)’s children’s depression inventory, Rosenberg (1965)’s self-esteem scale. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS/win 18.0 program. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards (IRB) of the Keimyung university hospital(No. 12-112).
Results: The mean score for drinking behavior in high school students was 23.1points. Factors influencing drinking behavior in high school students were identified as self-esteem(t=-3.67, p<.001), stress(t=6.79, p<.001), school types(t=4.02, p<.001), sex(t=-3.67, p<.001). These factors explained 27% of drinking behavior reported by high school students.
Conclusion: The results indicate which factors are majors influencing drinking behavior in high school students. Therefore, self-esteem enhancement could be considered as an effective strategy to reduce the drinking behavior in high school students.
