suicide among the elderly in two towns in rural Japan [19,
20]. This research found that education interventions
delivered by PHNs targeting suicide using depression
management with non-psychiatric, primary health care
lowered suicide rates for elderly women by 70 % or more
in comparison to men. Programs comprised of three main
elements: depression detection (using firstly self-reporting
and secondly annual assessments by PHNs), workshops
3–4 times annually, and social activities and exercise on a
monthly basis. During workshops, local PHNs promoted
depression awareness and management of suicide risk. The
reasons for these results need to be investigated further to
determine what measures will prove effective to reduce
suicide rates for both sexes. To some extent, it may be that
the results are merely reflective of the small population the
subject of the study. It may therefore be difficult to generalize
the results.
