Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine association between participation degree and any changes in health behaviors in the Gyeong?sangbuk-do Health Saemaeul Program, a community-based health promotion project.
Methods: The study used surveys of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Health Saemaeul Program, in 2016, 2018 and data from KOSIS.
Results: The multi-level linear regression analysis was completed with a total health behavior improvement score based on the six types of health behavior changes. People with temporal participation showed a higher total health behav?ior improvement score than the non-participants. Females showed a higher total health behavior improvement score than males and people with any chronic diseases showed a higher total health behavior improvement score than those without. None of the community-related variables showed any statistical significances. The results of the stratified analysis according to individual and community-related variables revealed that a group with the fol?lowing community-related characteristics were more likely to have a higher total health behavior improvement score according to the participation degree; (1) a higher proportion of vulnerable subjects, (2) a higher financial self-reliance, and (3) a higher participation degree with willingness. No statis?tical significance was revealed with the individual characteristics.
Conclusions: In order to enhance health status of its residents in a community-level, designing an integrated health promotion program in considering the community characteristics would be more effective. In order to improve the qual?ity of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Saemaeul Health Program and to expand its effects, an establishment of strategic plans is required at the level of selecting the target community.
