男性和低社会经济地位与抑郁症和自杀有关，但它们与心理健康素养的可能关系仍不确定。本研究的目的是评估日本农村社区的心理健康素养水平，并研究相关因素。使用问卷进行了一项基于人群的横断面研究。8163名30-69岁居民的应答率为88.2%。采用Logistic回归分析评估心理健康素养（包括对抑郁症的认知、对抑郁症的态度和对自杀的接受程度）与人口统计学、社会经济状况和抑郁症严重程度的关系。在被调查者中，25.2%的人对抑郁症的认识不足，12.5%的人对抑郁症的态度不足，13.1%的人对自杀表示接受。在全部答复者中，（65.5%），对抑郁症的认知不足与男性有关（校正比值比=1.93，95%置信区间：1.68-2.22），高龄（2.18，1.58-3.00），教育水平较低（1.95，1.34-2.86）;对抑郁症的不适当态度与男性有关（2.18，1.82-2.61），教育程度较低（2.34，1.38-3.97），以及抑郁症的严重程度接受自杀与男性（1.33，1.13-1.58）和抑郁严重程度（5.77，4.20-7.93）有关。心理健康知识贫乏与男性性别和教育水平低密切相关。根据我们的研究结果，心理健康素养差可能是导致男性自杀的一个因素。
Both male gender and low socioeconomic status have been related to depression and suicide, but their possible relationship to mental health literacy remains uncertain. The objectives of this study were to assess the level of mental health literacy in rural communities in Japan and to examine related factors. A population-based cross-sectional study using a questionnaire was conducted. Response rate was 88.2% from 8163 residents aged 30-69 years. The relationships between mental health literacy (including cognition of depression, attitude toward depression, and acceptance of suicide) and demographics, socioeconomic status, and the severity of depression were assessed by logistic regression analysis. Of the respondents, 25.2% showed an inadequate cognition of depression, 12.5% showed an inadequate attitude toward depression, and 13.1% showed an acceptance of suicide. Of the complete respondents (65.5%), an inadequate cognition of depression was associated with being male (adjusted odds ratio=1.93, 95% confidence interval: 1.68-2.22), advanced age (2.18, 1.58-3.00), and a lower level of education (1.95, 1.34-2.86); an inadequate attitude toward depression was associated with being male (2.18, 1.82-2.61),a lower education (2.34, 1.38-3.97), and the severity of depression (2.26, 1.54-3.32); and an acceptance of suicide was associated with being male (1.33, 1.13-1.58) and the severity of depression (5.77, 4.20-7.93). Poor mental health literacy related strongly to male gender and a low level of education. According to our results, poor mental health literacy may possibly be a factor contributing to male vulnerability to suicide.
