Outline of Final Research Achievements

Using a screening method combining brief self-administered questionnaires for schoolchildren with short checklists for school teachers, and a simple early intervention afterwards, a new suicide prevention program was carried out in children and adolescents at school. The subjects were 357 junior high school students and 85 senior high school students in Gunma, Saitama, and Oita prefectures. Total of 37 students were identified to be ‘depressive’ at the first time screening held in the spring, as 7.8% in junior high schools and 10.6% in senior high schools. Among the 17 students of them who had been tested in three times continuously within one year, after early interventions, seven (41.2%) were still depressive at the second time in the fall and three (17.6%) at the third time in the winter. It seems that this program for decreasing depressive students works well practically and beneficially at school in this study, even though more empirical investigations are still needed.
