Objective: The study conducted a multi-level analysis of the factors associated with the drinking behavior of single-person households in S metropolitan area.
Methods: Data for individual-level characteristics were gathered from respondents who formed single-person households on the 2016~2017 Community Health Survey. Data extracted from Korea Statistics Information Services and S metropolitan census on establishments was used to identify local-level environment factors. Multi-level analysis was used to identify the effect of each level factors on drinking behaviors.
Results: The study found that 39.3% of respondents were non-drinkers, 46.5% were monthly drinkers, and 14.2% were high-risk drinkers. In the analysis only using individual-level characteristics, sex, age, income level, religious activities, and friends were found to be common among drinkers and high-risk drinkers every month. Local environmental factors led to an increase in monthly drinkers and high-risk drinkers when community stores were above the median. In the multi-level analysis, only individual-level characteristics including sex, age, income level, religious activity and meeting with friends are significantly associated with the drinking behavior of single-person households, while no statistical association of local-level environmental factors observed.
Conclusions: In the area that is exposed to more accessibility to alcohol, the drinking behavior of singled-person households was mainly associated with individual factors.
