Objectives: This study was conducted in order to explore the predictive model of the experience of harmful shops and drinking in high school students. Method: The survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire method online via the homepage of the education ministry’s student health information center. Participants were 956 high school students from 47 schools in Korea. The collected data were processed using the Stata and Amos program. Results: About 57% and 61% said they had been to game places and entertainment places, respectively. In the case of drinking behavior, boys rather than girls, students who were not stratified with school life, living with a single parent, if their school and home were located downtown or near an entertainment place, who have experiences with game facilities were more likely to drink frequently. Conclusion: These results suggest that an educational approach should be developed by tailored conditions to prevent the access to harmful shops and drinking behavior.
