Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze alcohol drinking cessation programs to
promote health status for workers on worksites.
Method: Data were collected from the excellent 10 cases which were selected from “competition
of health promotion programs on worksites” from 1999 to 2007 held by Korean Occupational
Safety and Health Agency. Result: There were three main alcohol drinking cessation programs
on worksites: health education, individual health services to change life style, and formation of supportive environments. Health education and individual health services were intervened in nine worksites. Building supportive environments for alcohol drinking cessation were implemented in 10 worksites. The most popular indicators for program evaluation were health diagnosis and percentage of alcohol drinkers. Problems to implement alcohol drinking cessation programs were low voluntary participation of labors, difficulty of applying programs to labors that had a shift duty, and complexity to evaluate the effectiveness of alcohol cessation programs due to deficits of standard instruments. Conclusion: These findings suggest that many worksites did not
have alcohol drinking cessation programs and also these programs were not implemented
effectively. Thus, employers, professionals and policy makers of occupational health should
develop and support effective alcohol drinking cessation programs for l workers on worksites.
