초록

The number of youth at risk is not only rising every year but also increasingly being complicated and worse. A nationwide survey on youth at risk was conducted to acquire data reflecting young adults' risk situation recently emerging and providing the foundation to help build a database in respect to the youth at risk and the use of the development of policy and support programs for adolescent by conducting a nationwide survey on youth at risk. With the definition of the term, youth at risk, the tool to investigate youth risks depending on three groups which were children, teenagers, and young adults who were vulnerable to be at risk was developed. 83,353 normal students and 6,463 at-risk students participated in the study. Thereafter, by using the standard of Angoff’s method, the risk level was divided into 4 groups: high-risk group, risk group, potential risk group, and normal group. The results showed that 0.51% (21,790) of normal students was high-risk, 1.73% (74,365) was risk, 4.93% (641,914) was potential risk, and 82.83% (3,361,103 participants) was normal. The results of at-risk youth exhibited that 4.99% (4,558) was high-risk, 8.11% (7,402) was risk, 29.51% (26,941) was potential risk and 57.39% (52,387) was normal. This study aims at examining relationship between the level of risk and the risk result by analyzing the demographic trait, gender, the risk levels classified by schools. The study suggests that government's support policies should be diversified, predications for problems of at-risk youth and efforts to swiftly respond to the youth risks by using data should be essential, and the intervention tailored by the level of risk, depending on types of youth problems should be required.
