Outline of Final Research Achievements	Prevention of depression in the workplace is very important. However, the symptoms of depression are often subjectively experienced and go unnoticed by others. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a behavioral checklist that manager can easily make use of in the workplace. As a result of this study, a nine-item behavioral checklist was developed. The checklist was tested for reliability and validity. Notably, it had high predictive validity for workers’ mental health problems. Furthermore, we investigated the difficulties manager faced when supporting an employee who returned to work from sick leave. Manager alike felt difficulties with respect to “health management problems”, “work management problems”, and “interrelationship problems” These results suggest that it is important to manage a return-to-work program using this behavioral checklist, and the human resources and the health-promoting departments must support manager when an employee returns to work.
