The study participants were 2305 children enrolled in elementary schools in Jeju-si, Seogwipo-si, Namjeju-gun, and Bukjeju-gun and their parents who completed questionnaires about sociodemographics, health habits, family relationship information, and the Korean form of the Kovac's children's depression inventory (CDI) in September to December 2005. Multiple logistic regression showed that higher age (OR = 1.259, 95% CI 1.098-1.445), short time spent developing a relationship with the mother (OR = 2.770, 95% CI 1.280-5.944), and a low level of body image satisfaction (OR = 3.397, 95% CI 1.823-6.330) were correlates of depressive symptoms in children. Our results suggest that the following are essential to prevent depressive symptoms in elementary school children in Jeju, Korea: advanced education and social activity programs at home, in school, and in the community to help children have a positive self-image, and much time spent building a relationship with the mother.}, number={6}, journal={EUROPEAN CHILD & ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY}, author={Kwak, Young-Sook and Lee, Chang-In and Hong, Seong-Chul and Song, Young-Ja and Kim, In-Cheol and Moon, Seok-Ho and Moon, Ji-Hyun and Seok, Eun-Mi and Jang, Yun-Hee and Park, Min-Jeong and et al.}, year={2008}, month={Sep}, pages={343–351} }
