한국 대학생의 도박참여 실태와 도박중독 유병률 조사 = A Study of Gambling Addiction and Its Actual Conditions among University Students in Korea

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 대학생의 도박참여 실태와 도박중독 유병률을 파악하고자, 국내에서 처음으로 전국의 4년제 대학교 재학생을 모집단으로 한 2,026명을 표본으로 조사연구 하였다. 연구결과 CPG I 척도상의 대학생 문제도박 심각도는 비문제도박 68.7%, 저위험도박 20.3%, 중위험도박 9.5%, 문제도박 1.5% 순으로 나타났다. 이 중 중위험도박자와 문제도박자를 합한 도박중독 유병률이 11%에 달하며, 이는 우리나라 성인의 도박중독 유병률 6.1%보다 더 높은 수치이다. 스포츠토토 구매경험이 있는 대학생의 도박중독 유병률은 21.4%이고, 인터넷도박 경험이 있는 대학생의 도박중독 유병률은 19.3%로, 이 유형들은 대학생 전체 유병률보다 2배가량 높은 것으로 나타났다. 초등학교 이하시기에 도박을 처음 경험하는 집단에서 도박중독 문제가 유의미한 수준으로 더 높게 나타났으며, 여학생보다는 남학생이, 군필 집단보다는 군미필/면제 집단에서 도박중독 문제가 더 심각하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여 대학생 대상의 도박중독 예방정책이 시급히 마련될 필요가 있고, 도박중독예방교육이 초등학교부터 대학까지 정규교육과정에 반영될 필요가 있음을 논의하였다.

This study analyzed the prevalence of gambling addiction, and the reality of gambling addiction among university students. The research was conducted through a nation wide survey of 2,026 samples from four-year coed universities in Korea. This is the first research attempted on such a subject. The research results were as follows: According to the CPGI(Canadian Problem Gambling Index) scale Non-problem gambling has a prevalence 68.7%. Low-risk gambling is 20.3%. Moderate-risk gambling is 9.5%. And, Problem gambling is 1.5%. Among these different types, the total percentage of Moderate-risk gamblers and Problem gamblers among university students reached 11%, which is higher than that of adults(6.1%). The respondents who had experience with Sportstoto (Sportsbook) was 21.4%. Those who had experience with Internet gambling was 19.3%. This result was twice that of the average prevalence rate of gambling addiction of university students. Those university students who had experience with gambling in their primary school days and/or childhood period had a much higher chance of getting a gambling addiction than any other group of people. Gambling addiction among male students was significantly higher than that of female students. Among male students, those who had not finished their military service showed a significantly higher risk of having a gambling addiction than those who had served in the forces. Based on these research results, policies should be implemented to prevent gambling addiction among university students. And, Gambling Prevention Education should be added to the curriculum from elementary school to university.
