LEARNING HEALTHY BEHAVIOR? THE IMPACT OF TRAINING IN HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONS ON LIFESTYLES
利用瑞士健康调查数据，研究医疗专业培训中积累的健康知识是否改变个人生活方式，发现对大学毕业生的吸烟行为以及大学和职业医学培训毕业生的饮酒和饮食习惯有影响。
This paper analyzes the empirical relationship between health knowledge and the probability of adopting the lifestyles known as the 'Alameda Seven'. I test whether having accumulated such knowledge during training in a healthcare profession changes individual lifestyles using the Swiss Health Survey. The results suggest that there are indeed effects of health knowledge on smoking for university graduates and on alcohol consumption and eating behavior for graduates of both university level and vocational medical training programs.
