| Research Abstract |
The effects of social gradient on suicide were investigated as follows: 1) statistical analysis of unemployed people and suicide, 2) study on effects of financial funds of community suicide prevention on prefectural suicide rates, 3) study on social capital and psychological distress of community residents, 4) study on social tie and psychological distress of community residents suffered from Higashi-nihon Disaster. Suicide rate of unemployment people was greater than that of employed people. Decreases in suicide rates were observed in Northern-Tohoku District where intensive suicide prevention policies were employed. The level of social capital was significantly associated with psychological distress in community residents, suggesting the importance of strengthening social tie.
