|
The primary purpose of this research is the first epidemiologic study of drug and alcohol use on workplaces in Korea.
In particular, this study presents epidemiological survey results administered to 518 employees for studying the use of drug and alcohol at four different worksites. In this reaearch, we examine the prevalence of drug and alcohol use and the
epidemiologic risk factor of employee who has an alcoholic problem by statistical comparison with employee who has
not. The drug and alcohol-related problems, experienced by employee, such as physical illness, psychiatric symptom, economic damage, car accident, and violent hehavior are also informed, using self-reported data from employees. In the
following section, we describe our research limits and discuss the future workplace policy of drug and alcohol use. The
results offer a significant percentage of problematic drug and alcohol users in our workplace and the worksite employees
are potentially experienced in physical, psychiatrical problems by drug and alcohol use. The risk epidemiologic factors of
alcohol abuse and dependence groups in employee show that the male white collar employee who is older than 30 years
old with lower monthly income has higher percentage than others. In conclusion, serious consideration should be given in
worksite drug and alcohol use problems and prevention, education, prospective study should be also developed continuously.
