Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate drinking motives and the drinking-related problems of Korean high school students at a city in Jeonbuk province.
Methods : There were 657 students from two academic and two vocational high schools at J city in Jeonbuk province. The sample was collected using a stratified sampling method and the data was collected from June 30th to July 16th 2003. The study instrument used to examine drinking motive was a 20.item summated scale (Cronbach’s α = .95) and for drinking-related problems was an 18 item summated scale (Cronbach’s α = .91). The data was analyzed using SPSS/PC+ by percentage, χ2.test, t-test and correlations.
Results : 1. Drinking experience: Among the high school students, 74.3% of them had drinking episodes. Female students started drinking later (χ2 = 12.857, p = .002) and had more drinking friends (χ2 = 7.785, p = .020) than males. Vocational school students drank more frequently (χ2 = 32.138, p = .001), had more heavy drinking episodes (χ2 = 40.370, p = .001). 2. Drinking motives & Drinking-related problems: The mean score of drinking motives was 31.2 ± 11.12 out of 80 and that of drinking-related problems was 21.8 ± 5.85 out of 72 points. Neither score were stronger was significantly different according to gender and grade. On the other hand, both drinking motives (t = .4.077, p = .001) and drinking-related problems (t = .3.423, p = .001) were stronger in vocational school students than in academic school students. The correlation between drinking-related characteristics and problems were weak (from r = .286 to r = .520) but the correlation within the subcategories of drinking motives was high such as between enhancement and coping (r = .822) and enhancement and social motives (r = .822).
Conclusion : The majority of Korean high school students start to drink during their junior high school days. Drinking motives and drinking-related problems were not serious but the drinking motives and the drinking-related problems are stronger among vocational school students. As a result, school-based health education and counseling programs should focus on solving drinking motives than on drinking-related problems.
