| 概要 | In Japan, implementation of suicide prevention policies is mainly supported by public funds. However, it is unclear what kinds of suicide prevention strategies people prefer. We conducted a survey to clarify people’s preferences regarding suicide prevention strategies adopted in Japan. This was a cross-sectional self-administered questionnaire survey. Participants were recruited through a lecture held by the first author at their university. We distributed questionnaires to 324 people present at the lecture; 249 completed questionnaires were included in the final analysis. We estimated suicide prevention strategy preferences using full profile conjoint analysis. For all six prevention strategies (restriction of access to means, public awareness activities, gatekeeper training, enhancement of psychiatric services, follow-up care for suicide attempters, and support for suicide survivors), the inclusion of each strategy in the policy profile was statistically significantly related to the positive evaluation of the overall policy profile. Marginal Willingness to Pay (MWTP) for restriction of access to means (e.g. installing screen doors on railway station platforms) showed the highest value of the six suicide prevention strategies. MWTP was the lowest for public awareness activities (e.g. providing information on suicide and suicide prevention methods via means such as flyers, TV commercials, and homepages). Preferred suicide prevention strategies in Japan are restriction of access to means and enhancement of psychiatric services. The results of this study indicate the strategies that are preferred have a high level of evidence of suicide prevention and do not directly intervene in a person’s free will to die by suicide. These findings will support policy makers to make decisions that consider the preferences of taxpayers as well as suicide prevention evidence. |
