Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to examine the effect of a suicide prevention intervention program, Community Empowerment. A community intervention program was conducted in Happo town, to promote positive community relationships among local residents. The local residents living in three different communities were invited to participate in forums to discuss their needs and community problems in the program. The outcomes of the intervention were assessed by two population cross-sectional surveys, using self-administered questionnaires before and after the intervention. Multivariate analysis showed that the average cognitive social capital scores of samples in the intervention area was significantly higher than the controlled area. The suicide prevention intervention program, Community Empowerment, which aimed to build an engaged society and elevating community trust among the residents, was seen to be promising in improving the cognitive social capital of the people.
