Through the internet the public in South Korea has access to a growing supply of information on health and disease. In South Korea an estimated 13.93 million people used the internet in 2000. The number has increased rapidly compared to 1.63 million in 1997. Health information is often said to be one of the most retrieved types of information on the internet. However, a concern has emerged for the quality of health information documents contained on the world Wide Web. Lack of evaluation and oversight, and ease of publication, have led to inaccurate and misleading health-related publications on the Internet. For those seeking easy ways to identify high-quality and reliable information rating systems to evaluate the quality of health information on the internet should be provided and developed. Given this background, the purpose of this study was to evaluate health information web sites on the internet. In this study, we aimed to survey websites providing health information. 440 websites were selected by using four search engines, Yahookorea (http://www.yahoo.co.kr), LycosKorea (http://www.lycos.co.kr), Empas (http://www.empas.co.kr), and Naver (http://www.naver.com), to conduct searches in November 2000. General quality criteria were used for the evaluation. These included ownership, currency, authorship, source, feed-back mechanism, links, and functionality. More than 50% of web sites did not provide the date of publication or update of information, author and author credentials, references to source, etc. Websites of universities and universities' hospitals were more likely to provide name and type of provider (p<.01), authors name (p<.001), and references to source than other service providers (p<.01). There is a need for better evidence-based health information as well as a need to develop simple criteria that ordinary people can understand and use. In addition, gateway services that operate a selective process and provide links to other organization that provide high-quality health information should be offered and developed.

The interest is closely related to the lives of modern people in the .21st Century. Exchanging information with others over the interest in any place through is possible nowadays and such exchanging information has been developed at rapid speed also in the areas of health and medical care. With increasing interest in their health, the tendency is that the number of the Internet users is on the increase. Such being the case, it has become urgently necessary to assess whether all information regarding health, medical care, products and services offered over the internet benefit the Internet users and the right information can be searched for and accessible. Under such circumstances, they have already developed barometers for such evaluation both at home end abroad, and have been evaluating the sites but the evaluation findings have been negative. This study was to evaluate sites ffering obesity health drawing increasingly keen interest of modern people and attempted to find out about the present conditions on such sites through their cross comparisons. We selected 210 local sites (14 public organizations and association, 34 general hospitals and clinics and 162 commercial organizations) by searching for such key words as obesity and diet at Rankey. com providing rankings in each area. The sites were evaluated and analyzed on the basis of 21 items under eight evaluation criteria such as contents, authorship, purpose, design, aesthetics, functionality, feedback, confidentiality and public interest, and caught hold of quality levels and present conditions of the sites. The research results showed most of the sites rated as short of expectation in respect of their contents and authorship, which amply attested to the necessity for the control of sites in the future as well as in the past. This seems to indicate that such control system as information certification system in the areas of health and medical care is required.

목적: 보건교육 분야는 상대적으로 새로운 영역이나 전 세계적으로 건강증진의 중요성에 대한 요구가 강조되면서 빠르게 발전되고 있다. 많은 나라에서 보건교육사 프로그램을 제도화하는 노력을 하고 있다. 본 연구는 미국의 보건교육사 제도를 고찰함으로써 국제적 보건교육사 제도의 개발 및 발전에 기여하는 데 있다. 방법: 본 연구는 문헌고찰을 통하여 미국의 자격증 제도, 보건교육사의 역사 및 다양한 현장에서 보건교육사의 역할과 특성을 파악하였다. 결과: 보건교육사의 역할과 기술은 현장에 따라 다르게 요구되나 크게 일곱 가지의 대영역으로 분류되며, 35개의 기술 분야에서 163개의 하위기술이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 미국은 의료비의 증가로 인하여 만성질환의 조기발견과 예방사업을 위하여 미국의 보건교육사는 2006년에 2006명에서 2016년에는 78,000명으로 증가될 것으로 전망된다. 보건교육사는 다양한 분야에서 고용되고 있으며, 주로 지역사회 건강단체, 연구소, 보건센터(병원, 의원, 보건소), 학교, 정부공무원 및 사업체 등에서 활동하고 있다. 결론: 미국의 보건교육사 제도의 발전은 보건교육사 프로그램을 개발하고 발전시키고자 하는 여러 나라에 좋은 모델이 될 수 있다. 또한 미국 보건교육사의 다양성과 전문성은 한국의 보건교육사 제도의 발전에 도움이 될 것으로 여겨진다. Objectives: The field of health education is still relatively new and is therefore evolving and developing rapidly throughout the world. Many countries' certification programs are still being created. This paper will discuss on the US CHES system of regulation, accreditation, and implementation for the future development of international health education programs. Methods: This article focuses on the United States CHES credentialing program, specifically on its historical development and the roles, employment settings and socioeconomic demographics of current CHES professionals through literature review. Results: The roles and skills required vary by employment setting, with seven universally recognized responsibilities of health educators. There are also 35 key competencies which are crucial to the role of the health educator, with 163 sub-competencies performed by all health educators. The employment of health educators will increase from 62,000 in 2006 to 78,000 in 2016. As the costs of healthcare increase, employers are projected to hire more health educators to decrease healthcare costs through prevention and early detection of chronic illnesses. Community health non-profit agencies, academia, healthcare (hospital/clinic), schools, government/government contracting, and businesses are some of the most widespread employment settings for health educators in the United States. Conclusion: Better understanding of this longstanding and successful program will benefit countries developing their own certification system. The variety and specificity of the information on the US CHES program may be of value as South Korea continues to develop its Korean CHES program.

Sohn, Ae-Ree,Han, Hee-Jeong Korean Society for Health Education and Promotion 2002 보건교육건강증진학회지 Vol.19 No.4

The aim of this study was to assess adolescents' sexuality and to gather student opinions on current school-based sex education in South Korea. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in Seoul, Incheon, and Kyunggi Province to assess the status and needs of high school sexuality education. Survey data was obtained from 1,130 senior high school students. The rates of sexual intercourse for boys and girls were 33.1% and 13.2% respectively. Boys were more likely to be sexually involved (p = .000) and experienced earlier at first sexual intercourse than girls (p = .006). Among students who had sexual intercourse, only 20.3% (21.1% of boys and 19.1% of girls) used contraceptives at first sexual intercourse. The proportion of respondents who had had sexual intercourse was higher among those with poor self-perceived academic performance (p = .000). The proportion was also higher among those with a boy or girl friend (p = .000). Other risk-taking behaviors such as smoking and drinking were associated with sexual activity (p = .000). This study found that most students were not satisfied with sex education because of teachers' lack of information and skills in delivering it. Most teachers providing sex education were not qualified and/or trained. They should receive adequate training and guidelines for the training. Training should also give teachers time to practice and become comfortable in delivering it.

손애리 ( Ae Ree Sohn ),문정선 ( Jeong Seon Moon ),신승배 ( Seung Bae Shin ),천성수 ( Sung Soo Chun ),김성렬 ( Seong Yeol Kim ) 한국보건사회학회 2008 보건과 사회과학 Vol.0 No.23

본 연구는 서울시 중고등학생을 대상으로 성태도, 동성애자에 대한 태도, 에이즈 낙인, 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감 사이의 인과구조를 규명하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서 조사 대상 모집단은 서울시 소재 중학교와 고등학생을 대상이다. 표집은 서울 지역을 강남과 강북으로 나눈 후 동서권역으로 구분하여 4개 권역으로 구분하였다. 중학교는 각 권역마다 2개교씩 무작위로 추출하여 총 8개교를 선정하였다. 고등학교는 인문계 고등학교 6개교와 실업계 고등학교 2개교를 지역별로 추출하였다. 추출된 중학교 8개교와 고등학교 8개교에서 각 학년별로 2개 반을 무작위로 뽑아 그 반을 모두 자기기입식으로 조사하는 방법을 이용하였다. 총 배포된 설문지는 3,370부였으며, 수거된 설문지는 3,135였으며, 불성실한 설문지 34부를 제외한 총 3,101부(98.9%)가 분석에 사용되었는데 유효하지 않은 사례는 일률적(listwise)으로 제거하여 유효사례수는 2,977부였다. 성에 대한 태도, 동성애자에 대한 태도, 에이즈 낙인, 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감 간의 영향을 분석하기위해 탐색적 요인분석(EFA) , 확인적 요인분석(CFA), 공변량 구조분석 등을 시도하였고, 모형을 추정하기 위해 구조방정식 모형을 사용하였다. 모형검증의 추정결과, 첫째, 성에대한 태도는 에이즈 낙인과 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감에 유의미한 인과관계를 보이지 못했다. 둘째, 동성애자를 바라보는 태도는 에이즈 낙인에 유의미한 정의 인과관계(β=.444)로 나타나 동성애자를 바라보는 태도가 긍정적일수록 에이즈 낙인이 심하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 사회적 거리감에도 유의미한 정의 인과관계(β=.090)로 나타나 동성애자를 바라보는 태도가 긍정적일수록 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 에이즈 낙인이 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감에 미치는 단위영향에 대한 USREL 추정결과에서 에이즈 낙인은 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감에 유의미한 정의 인과관계(β=.700)로 나타나 에이즈 낙인이 심하지 않을수록 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 분석결과를 토대로 동성애자를 바라보는 태도가 에이즈 낙인 및 에이즈 감염인에 대한 사회적 거리감에 인과적 관계가 있는 것으로 나타나 에이즈 감염인에 대한 차별과 편견을 해소하기 위해서는 에이즈를 동성애자의 병으로 바라보는 시각을 해소시키는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다. This study was to examine the causal impact of sexual attitude, attitudes toward homosexuals on stigma of HIV/AIDS and discriminatory attitudes towards person with HIV/AIDS (PWHAs) among adolescents in Seoul, Korea. The population of this study is junior and senior high students in Seoul, Korea. To select sample, we divided 4 districts (north, south, east and west) of Seoul. Two junior high schools and two senior high schools were selected randomly from each district. Three thousand and one hundred-one students (1704 males and 1397 males) from 16 schools participated in the survey. A self-administered questionnaire measuring socio-demographic variables, sigma of HIV/AIIDS (3 items, 5-point Likert-type scale) and discriminatory attitudes PWHAs (5 items, 5-point Likert-type scale) was utilized. The Structural Equation Modeling was employed to investigate the research Model. The empirical study shows that a number of statistical hypotheses are significant. The attitudes toward homosexuals were the most important factors on stigma and discriminatory attitudes PWHAs. Socio-demographical variables such as sex and level of school were related to the stigma and discriminatory attitudes PWHAs. Therefore, it is important to design HIV prevention strategies that increase in positive attitudes towards PWHAs.

High Temperature- and High Pressure-Processed Garlic Improves Lipid Profiles in Rats Fed High Cholesterol Diets

Sohn, Chan-Wok,Kim, Hyun-Ae,You, Bo-Ram,Kim, Min-Jee,Kim, Hyo-Jin,Lee, Ji-Yeon,Sok, Dai-Eun,Kim, Jin-Hee,Lee, Kun-Jong,Kim, Mee-Ree The Korean Society of Food Science and Nutrition 2012 Journal of medicinal food Vol.15 No.5

Garlic protects against degenerative diseases such as hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. However, raw garlic has a strong pungency, which is unpleasant. In this study, we examined the effect of high temperature/high pressure-processed garlic on plasma lipid profiles in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a normal control diet, a high cholesterol (0.5% cholesterol) diet (HCD) only, or a high cholesterol diet supplemented with 0.5% high temperature/high pressure-processed garlic (HCP) or raw garlic (HCR) for 10 weeks. The body weights of the rats fed the garlic-supplemented diets decreased, mostly because of reduced fat pad weights. Plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) in the HCP and HCR groups decreased significantly compared with those in the HCD group. Additionally, fecal TC and TG increased significantly in the HCP and HCR groups. It is notable that no significant differences in plasma or fecal lipid profiles were observed between the HCP and HCR groups. High temperature/high pressure-processed garlic contained a higher amount of S-allyl cysteine than raw garlic (P<.05). The results suggest that high temperature/high pressure-processed garlic may be useful as a functional food to improve lipid profiles.
