Abstract

|
|
One of the core functions of public health policy should be to monitor the burden of disease including the harm caused by alcohol use. Korean public health policy must assess and monitor the harm to others caused by alcohol. However, public health policy has given little attention to this topic. Harm derived from alcohol use includes the harm done to others as well
as the harm done to the individual consuming the alcohol. Efforts have been made to address alcohol’s harm to others (AHTO); called secondary effects of drinking in several countries. This paper reported on the magnitude of AHTO and identified its correlates based on a national representative sample of adults (N=3,000) ages 19 years and older. The data
showed that 33.7% of adults experienced AHTO in the previous year. Correlates of experience of AHTO included age,
residential area, drinking problem level by Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, number of heavy drinkers around respondents, positive alcohol expectancy, and the number of alcohol-related problems experienced by the respondents
themselves.
