| Research Abstract |
We chose Nakago-mura which was heavy snowfall and a depopulated area as a model of aging society and inspected effectiveness of suicide prevention intervention in Matsunoyama-machi by using same methods in a different area, It extended over three times from 2001 to 2003 and distributed self-rating Depression Soale(SDS : a Niigata University method) to all the villagers(1684-1688 people) in higher than 60 years old and collected SDS.

Change of the rate of suicide before and behind intervention is not accepted to this time. The importance and the necessity for the suicide prevention intervention in an area was understood However, in order to prevent suicide from the early detection of depression, and'-early-treatment, it was thought that there were a limit of a procedure of having used this time, and a point which should be narrowed down and should be improved to the intervention methods, such as a visit for medical examination, and the evaluation method.
