BackgroundIn the 1990s the primary focus of medicine was shifted to disease prevention. Accordingly, it became the responsibility of primary-care physicians to educate and counsel the general population not only on disease prevention specifically but health promotion generally as well. Moreover, it was, and is still today, considered important that physicians provide positive examples of health-promotion behaviors to patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate physicians' health-promotion behaviors and to identify the factors that influence them.MethodsWe conducted a postal and e-mail survey of the 371 members of the Physician Association of Cheonan City between May 16th and June 25th, 2011. The questionnaire consisted of 18 items, including questions relating to sociodemographic factors, screening tests for adult diseases and cancer, and health habits.ResultsThere were 127 respondents. The gender breakdown was 112 men (88.2%) and 15 women (11.8%), and the mean age was 47.8 years. Fifty-nine (46.4%) were family physicians or interns, and 68 (53.6%) were surgeons. Twenty-six percent (26%) were smokers, and 74.8% were drinkers; 53.5% did exercise; 37% had chronic diseases; 44.9% took periodic cancer screening tests, and 72.4% took periodic screening tests for adult diseases.ConclusionIt was found that general characteristics and other health-promotion behaviors of physicians do not affect physicians' practice of undergoing periodic health examination.

“…[15] The recommended age ranges for HPV vaccination in Taiwan are 9-26 years for Gardasil and 10-25 years for Cervarix. [12,13] Because HPV vaccination is not covered by Taiwan's national health insurance, we considered that one hurdle for mothers' acceptance of vaccinating a daughter against HPV would be the high cost of vaccination as suggested for Taiwan [16] and reported in Hong Kong [17] and Morocco. [18] Considering that adolescent girls are at the optimum age for HPV vaccination to prevent cervical cancer, five of 13 counties in Taiwan have started providing HPV vaccination free of charge to female teenage students.…”

The uptake of HPV vaccination is < 10% in Taiwan and little is known about mothers' intention to vaccinate daughters against HPV. The aims of this study were to explore mothers' reasons for and against vaccinating their daughters against HPV. A total of 511 women were obtained from a regional hospital in central Taiwan. Descriptive analysis and multivariate logistic regression were employed. The authors found the most frequent reason given by mothers for not vaccinating their daughters was "vaccination price is too high". Mothers with high intention to vaccinate their daughters were more likely than low-intention mothers to believe that HPV vaccination is safe and effective and to accept recommendations from others and the media. When mothers were asked whether they were willing to pay for vaccinating their daughter if HPV vaccination were not free, the percentage of high-intention mothers dropped from 88.9% to 69.8%, and the percentage of low-intention mothers dropped precipitously from 60.2% to 17.9%. Findings can be used by policy makers in Taiwan to plan appropriate activities and strategies to encourage mothers to have daughters receive the HPV vaccine.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare scaling rates in 16 cities and provinces using data from the Community Health Survey (CHS) and National Health Insurance Service (NHIS). Methods: This study involved cross-sectional secondary data analysis. A total of 16,646,190 subjects who participated in the CHS and 218,184 subjects in the NHIS were included in the final analysis. The dependent variable was the scaling rate, and the independent variables were sex, age, and 16 regions. The study included individuals aged 19 years or older who received scaling between August 2014 and August 2015 in the past year in the CHS and codes U2232 (scaling) and U2233 (scaling before periodontal treatment) in the NHIS. The total scaling rates were compared between the CHS and NHIS. The differences in scaling rates according to sex, age, and 16 regions were analyzed. Results: The CHS (42.6%) scaling rates were 17.5% higher than the NHIS (25.1%) scaling rates in 16 regions in 2015. The median in the CHS data was in Busan (41.5%), while that in the NHIS data was in Jeonbuk (23.5%). There was no significant difference between scaling rates above and below the median region in the CHS and NHIS. Conclusions: The results suggested that CHS data, which show a higher rate, should be used to assess and monitor the dental needs of community residents. NHIS data should be used to evaluate community oral health projects. It is necessary to develop health indicators for the community oral health project of input, process, and outcome evaluation.
