Also this study aimed to evaluate the related factors of HTPs experience and use among military personnel in Korea.METHODS: The study subjects were 3,878 military personnel participated health survey for Korean soldiers from November to December in 2018. Binominal logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the related factors of HTPs experience and use among military personnel in Korea.RESULTS: The HTPs experience and current use rates of study subjects were 17.4% and 8.7%, respectively. And the HTPs experience and current use among military personnel was associated with college/university degree (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.441, 1.377), lance-corporal (aOR 2.049, 5.636), superiors' smoking in military camp (aOR 1.516, 1.567), interest in health (aOR 1.637, 1.571), ever used smoking (aOR 2.817, 3.575), and ever used electronic cigarette (E-cigarette) (aOR 3.129, 1.587).CONCLUSIONS: The HTPs experience and current use among military personnel are closely related to educational level, military level, smoking status of the superiors, interests in health, conventional cigarette smoking, and E-cigarette use.
