title: Understanding controlled drinking behavior among Korean male workers.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To understand the predictors of controlled drinking in Korean male workers with a structural equation modeling based on Ajzen's theory of planned behavior.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cross-sectional survey design was used with a total of 315 male workers from 20 workplaces.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The modified model accounted for 58% of intentions and 20% of controlled drinking behavior. The component most increasing intentions was perceived behavior control (PBC), and the components increasing controlled drinking behavior were intentions and PBC in the modified model.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intervention programs should be designed to increase intentions and PBC to improve controlled drinking behavior in male workers.
