Abstract

Objectives: To compare alcohol secondhand effects among US and Korean students. Methods: Nationally representative 4-year colleges of two countries were involved in this cross-national comparison study. Data from the 2001 U.S. College Alcohol Study and the 2003 Korean College Alcohol Study came from 120 colleges in 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia and 60 colleges in Korea. Randomly selected 4-year college students from the U.S. (10,924) and Korea (2,385) participated in the study using self-reports of alcohol use and perceptions of drinking as assessed by College Alcohol Study questionnaires. Results: Korean students were tend to more likely to have being a victim of sexual assault or date rape, having to take care of drunken students and finding vomit in the hall or bathroom of residence, than US students, while US students were tend to more likely to have being insulted or humiliated, having a serious argument and quarrel, being pushed, hit, or assaulted, having study/sleep interrupted, and experiencing an unwanted sexual advance than Korean students. Conclusion: In general, US students were more likely to suffer interrelationship problems after drinking while Korean students were more likely to have physical and individual drinking related problems.

목적: 이 연구는 한국과 미국대학생의 음주로 인한 간접피해수준을 상대적으로 비교하기 위해 설계되었다. 방법: 하버드대학교의 대학생음주연구(CAS)의 2001년도의 원자료 10,924명의 데이터와 한국대학생음주연구(KCAS)의 2003년도의 원자료 2,385명의 데이터를 하나의 파일에 함께 넣어서 분석하였다. 조사도구는 CAS의 대학생용 조사설문지를 사용하였으며, 한국의 주종과 량과 관련하여서는 표준잔과 량을 기준으로 적용하였다. 지난 한 달 동안의 음주하였다고 한 학생의 알코올관련문제 및 간접피해의 정도를 비교하였으며, 연령과 음주빈도 와 음주량 통제하여 로지스틱회귀분석의 결과로 제시하였다. 결과: 한국대학생들이 술 취한 동료를 돌봄, 성적인 폭행, 데이트 강간, 구토물들을 발견하는 것 등의 간접피해를 많이 받는 반면에 미국대학생들은 모욕을 당함, 심하게 다툼, 밀침을 당함, 학업에 방해를 받음, 폭행을 당함, 원치 않은 섹스를 함 등의 간접피해를 더 많이 겪고 있다. 결론: 미국대학생들은 상호관계에 의한 간접피해를 많이 느끼는데 비해서, 한국대학생들은 개인적이고 신체적인 간접피해를 더 많이 느끼고 있다.
