Search this article
Description
A population-based cross-sectional study using a questionnaire was conducted in order to clarify the socio-demographic factors influencing views on suicide in rural areas of Akita Prefecture. The response rate from 8,163 residents aged 30-69 years was 88.2%. The relationships between views on suicide and socio-demographic factors(age,sex, educational background,occupational status,and depression state)were examined using a logistic regression analysis with itemized views on suicide for dependent variables. Compared to respondents with a compulsory level of education,the odds ratio of those selecting“suicide is tragic”was relatively high for university graduates(odds ratio 2.03, 95% confidence intervals 1.50-2.75). Similarly,compared to respondents with a compulsory level of education,the odds ratio of those selecting“something must be done about suicide”was high for university graduates(odds ratio 2.83,95% confidence intervals 2.08-3.86). In terms of sex,the odds ratio of those selecting“suicide is tragic”and “something must be done about suicide”was higher in women than in men. In terms of occupational status,people other than non-manual workers tended to select“suicide is shameful”and not to select“suicide is tragic”. In conclusion,socio-demographic factors such as educational background,sex,occupational status and depression influenced views on suicide.
