developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) could be adapted to
accomodate risk behaviors of Korean high school students as well as to see how prevalent
the risk behaviors is in a Korean vocational high school students. Translation and
modifications for Koreans students of the YRBS which was based on the causes of death
specific for Korean teenagers were carried out February 2000 and the modified YRBS were
administered to students of a male vocational high school(n=113) in a small city near Taegu
February 2000. The number of students used at final analysis was 107 (response rate 94.7%).
Percentage of students rarely or never used safety belts was 79.4% and that of students
involved in a physical fight was low. About 41.7% of the 12 students who had ever felt sad
or hopeless thought seriously about attempting suicide. Lifetime cigarette users were 72.9%
and of those current users were 87.1%, frequent users 61.5% and regular users 74.3% while
lifetime alcohol users were 84.1% and of those current users were 81.1%, episodic heavy
drinkers 63.3%. Thirteen students(12.1%) reported to have sexual intercourse and most of
them did not use condoms during last sexual intercourse. About 30% reported to attempt to
lose weight and most of the students reported to eat 100% fruit juice, fruits, vegetables, or
milk 1 - 3 times during last one week. More than one third of the students(37.4%) reported
to participate in vigorous physical activity and 27.1% in strengthening exercises.
These results suggest that the YRBS could be adapted to Korean high school students and
some of risk behaviors be very prevalent in a Korean male vocational high school.
