| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we conducted analyses focusing on 1) visualizing regional disparities in suicide, 2) changes in the reasons for suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 3) exploring suicide-related factors at a regional level.
1) By quantifying the highs and lows of suicide rates from 2009 to 2018, we identified regions with high/low suicide rates that could be overlooked if evaluated solely on a prefectural basis. 2) We observed months with higher than estimated numbers across all categories, including family issues, health problems, economic and life issues, work-related issues, gender issues, school issues, and others. In men, increases in suicides were mainly due to work stress and feelings of loneliness, while in women, family, health, and work issues were the leading causes, demonstrating different characteristics between genders. 3) As a future development, it would be desirable to clarify regional suicide factors, considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
