Abstract

The aims of this study is to investigate the risk levels of alcohol use, the association between these risk levels and workplace environment and the factors related to alcohol abuse among employees. A cross-sectional survey of 1,117 workers employed in Seoul, Incheon, and Kyonggi-do was conducted. Based on the AUDIT, alcohol problem among workers are as follows; hazardous drinking group is 33.57%, harmful use is 10.47%, and alcohol dependence is 11.73%. Gender, position in workplace, size of corporation were significantly associated with employees' risk levels of alcohol use. Workplace factors, in particular drinking norms in workplace and after work dining with alcohol, were significantly associated with alcohol problems. The best logit model for alcohol abuse group is consisted of gender, age, dining with alcohol, which will explain 67.7% of possibility of belong to the alcohol abuse group. These results suggest that the workplace has the potential as a strategic setting for alcohol related problem prevention, especially gender and frequency of gathering with alcohol should be the primary concern. The AUDIT has been used primarily to find risky group cases and an appropriate intervention is discussed with each risky group.
