With the increasing necessity of cancer screenings, this research intended to confirm the importance of online media’s role in promoting public cancer screenings in South Korea where cancer screenings are conducted as a part of an organized, population-based program. Agenda-setting theory, which is significant in investigating the relationship between media and the public as well as in monitoring fluctuation of media coverage and people’s health behavior, was used in order to analyze (a) the trends of public cancer screenings (the number of cancer screenings) and cancer coverage (the amount of cancer coverage), and (b) the relationship between media coverage and cancer screenings. Significant correlations were found both in general cancer issues and with the five main types of cancer issues: gastric, colorectal, liver, breast and cervical cancers. Furthermore, there was a notable difference according to the examinees’ economic status; the correlations for the upper 50% of the examinees were stronger than for the lower 50%. The difference in the public’s decisions regarding health behavior based on media indicates the importance of strategies tailored to individual economic conditions.

암은 1983년부터 국민 사망원인 1위를 차지하고 있으며, 이로 인한 사망자 수는 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 그러나 국가사업으로서 암 검진을 지속적으로 장려한 까닭에 암으로 인한 5년 생존율은 증가해, 암 검진에 대한 중요성은 더욱 높아지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 매체가 암 보도를 얼마만큼 많이 하는지에 따라 암 검진자 수에 어떠한 변화가 있었는지 확인하고자 했다. 2009년부터 2017년까지 총 9년간 미디어의 암 보도량과 대중의 암 검진자 수 간의 상관관계를 확인한 결과, 정적 상관관계가 확인되었으며, 다섯 가지 암종(위암, 대장암, 간암, 유방암, 자궁경부암)별 상관관계를 확인했을 때에도 정적 상관관계가 확인되었다. 더불어 경제적 수준이 높은 검진자(상위 50%)의 경우 경제적 수준이 낮은 검진자(하위 50%)보다 높은 수준의 미디어와의 상관관계를 보여, 암 검진 실천 시 암 보도의 영향을 더 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 대상자의 경제적 요인에 맞는 암 검진 캠페인 전략의 필요성을 뒷받침하는 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
