Abstract

Objectives: This paper aims to describe intention to consume alcohol among adolescents who are not current drinkers and to investigate into utility of theory of planned behaviors (TPB) as a theoretical model to predict the intentions.
Methods: We employed secondary data analysis with raw data derived from a nationwide representative probabilistic sample of students (N=1,948) who had not a drink in previous 30 days.
Results: The intention to consume alcohol in situations which they would encounter in the future was small in its size. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that a substantial explanation of variance of dependent variable (35.2%) was accounted for by TBP with background characteristics of the respondents held constant. Self-efficacy to refuse a pressure to drink of TBP had a strongest association with dependent variables, followed by attitude and subject norm. Some implications with respect to prevention of underage drinking were discussed.
Conclusions: Utility of TBP in explaining drinking intention was confirmed by Korean adolescents and some policy implication were discussed.
