Research Abstract |
It is difficult to evaluate health policy like health education for metabolic syndrome. In this study, we aim to evaluate health policy using social capital as an indicator. Secondary dataset showed that it was important to distinguish bonding/bridging social capital. Our cross-sectional survey showed that exchanging of courtesies by community leaders to elderly people significantly reduced suicide intention. We have planned to conduct small intervention trial of exchanging of courtesies. The personnel in the investigated town were too busy to manage the trial due to big earthquake and tsunami, so we did small intervention of physical activity at a workplace alternatively.
