研究室紹介
Professor Minsu Jung's research lab focuses on health behavior, health communication, and social determinants of health, with a strong emphasis on health information-seeking behavior, health literacy, and health equity. The lab investigates how socioeconomic status, media use, and social capital influence health outcomes, particularly among vulnerable populations such as cancer survivors, older adults, and low-income communities in low- and middle-income countries. A central theme is reducing communication inequalities to improve health awareness, vaccination uptake, and patient empowerment in public health contexts.

15Health information-seeking behavior (HISB) is active need-fulfillment behavior whereby health information is obtained from diverse sources, such as the media, and has emerged as an important issue within the transforming medical environment and the rise of medical consumers. However, little is known about the factors that affect HISB and its associations, and the health outcome of HISB. The aim of this study was to examine individual and social contextual factors associated with HISB and to syst
It is known that the level of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and the degree of condom use varies by socioeconomic status (SES). However, there is limited research on the effect of mass media use on HIV/AIDS-related cognitive and behavioral outcomes in low-income countries and how it might influence the association between SES and HIV-related outcomes. We investigated the moderating effect of media use on the relationship between SES and HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and condom use in sub-Saharan Africa
It is critical to promote health information-seeking behavior and use diverse media channels to increase acceptance and awareness of emerging infectious diseases and vaccinations. Because there are differences in vaccination awareness depending on social class, it is critical to reduce communication inequality, strengthen accessibility to vaccinations, and devise appropriate risk communication strategies that ensure Korean adults receive vaccinations.
The moral hazard behind insurance membership, depending on how NHI maintains policies to confer benefits, may give rise to differences in medical utilization. This phenomenon must be closely monitored to find a way to reform NHI when the rights of medical service consumers are solidified through PHI.
목적: 지역사회 안녕과 건강 증진을 위한 수단이 될 수 있는 인적 자본, 조직 자원, 사회 자본의 상호작용을 통해 지역사회의 보건학적인 문제를 스스로 해결하는 능력을 지역사회역량이라고 한다. 이 연구는 일반적 건강불평등의 결정요인으로 사회자본, 특히 지역사회역량을 검토한다. 방법: 분석자료는 “2006년 도봉구 지역사회역량의 측정 및 평가”(N=1,019)를 이용하였으며 불건강에 영향을 미치는 요인을 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 검토하였다. 설명변수는 세계은행의 사회자본 척도 중에서 지역사회 정체성, 사회적 신뢰, 지역사회 신뢰, 협동 정도를 적용하였으며, 반응변수는 개인의 주관적 건강수준을 보통, 불건강으로 이분화한 것이다. 아울러, 지역사회역량은 거주기간에 영향을 받기 때문에 여기에 대한 결정요인도 살펴보았다. 결과: 사회인구학적 변수만 투입한 모형에서 남성은 여성에 비하여 주관적 건강수준이 더 열악했고(OR=1.395, 95%CI;1.086-1.793), 연령은 30세 미만 집단이
The aging society requires an understanding of the lives of elderly individuals. This study explored factors associated with life satisfaction in old age by using a life satisfaction model. The success of an aging society begins with an accurate understanding of the elderly, and thus political attention will need to be focused on this matter.
본 연구의 목적은 과학영재교육 수업현장에서 이루어지는 교사들의 발문과 피드백, 학생들의 응답에 대한 유형과 빈도를 분석하여 현황을 파악하고 교사-학생의 언어적 상호작용이 활발한 수업에서 나타난 교사들의 발문과 피드백에 대한 특징을 파악하는데 있다. 이를 위해 중학교 2학년 과학영재 학생들을 대상으로 실시하는 8차시 24시간 분량의 수업을 비참여 관찰하고 녹화하였으며, 교사와 학생간의 상호대화를 전사 분석하고, 교사들과의 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 수업 분석 결과, 교사들은 대체적으로 기억회상과 인지기억의 질문과 즉각적 피드백을 사용한 반면, 학생들은 단답형 응답을 선호하고 있는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 교사-학생의 언어적 상호작용이 상대적으로 활발한 수업의 특징은 도입단계에서 개방적 질문을 사용하였고, 발문의 처리단계를 높였으며, “왜”와 “어떻게”의 질문을 많이 사용하였고, 평가질문을 사용한다는 것이었다. 피드백의 특징으로는 학생의 응답을 수용하고 받아들이는 태도를 보였고, 지연피드백을 많
BACKGROUND: Female sex workers (FSW) who live in urban areas in Republic of Korea have a particularly high risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STD). We investigated the prevalence of s STDs in FSWs in order to determine the factors associated with sexually transmitted infections in Korea. METHODS: Study data were collected from 832 FSWs through a 2014 survey on the prevalence of STDs in high risk populations in Republic of Korea. We assessed the associations between sexually transmitted infec
Despite its importance to maternal health, women’s empowerment in developing countries has yet to be adequately addressed. We investigated the effects of women’s empowerment and media use on maternal antenatal care in Southeast Asian countries. The data originate from the Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in Southeast Asia between 2011 and 2014 (n = 35,905). We conducted Poisson regression and meta-analyses to examine communication inequalities in the media use for the relationships betwe
Graphic warning labels (GWLs) have been developed as a representative non-price policy to block such marketing. This study investigated the current state and effect of the global introduction of GWLs and examines the future tasks related to GWLs. We systematically reviewed literatures on GWL and a tobacco control strategy in the past fifteen years. The policy of enforcing GWLs has spread globally based on the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. GWLs are more effective than text warnings and
