Purposes: This study purposed to identify the hotspot areas of current smoking rate from 2017 to 2019 by using spatial analysis and analyzed the relationship between hotspot areas and regional characteristics.
Methodology: Study areas were 229 si¡¤gun¡¤gu(city¡¤county¡¤district) administrative regions of Korea and si¡¤gun¡¤gu map data was come from the Statistical Geographic Information Service. Hotspot areas were identified with the ArcGIS Pro(version. 2.9.3) and the hotspot areas were used as the dependent variable. Four domains of SDOH(i.e. Economic stability, Health care access and quality, Neighborhood and built environment, Social and community context) were used as independent variables. Panel analysis was performed by using Stata/MP(ver. 15.1).
Findings: Most of hotspot areas were found in Gangwon-do and Chungcheongbuk-do. Among them, Wonju-si, Yeongwol-gun, and Chungju-si were identified as hotspots for all three years. Results of panel analysis showed that ¡®health care access and quality¡¯ and ¡®neighborhood and built environment¡¯ variables were statistically significant.
Conclusion: Results of this study showed that regional characteristic factors should be considered for effective smoking cessation policy establishment.
