根据降低农村城镇自杀率的准实验设计，在日本秋田县的六个城镇（总人口43，964人）进行了一项以社区为基础的自杀预防干预研究。开展了提高公众认识的活动，采用了强调增强居民权能和公民参与的健康促进方法。还采取了促进老年公民的使命感和建立社区网络的福利措施。因此，在干预城镇，每10万人中的自杀率从干预前（1999年）的70.8人下降到干预后（2004年）的34.1人。干预前对照镇每10万人自杀率为47.8，干预后为49.1。
A community-based intervention study for suicide prevention was conducted in six towns (total population 43,964) in Akita Prefecture of Japan according to a quasi-experimental design to reduce suicide rates in rural towns. Public awareness raising activities using a health promotion approach emphasizing the empowerment of residents and civic participation were conducted. The welfare measures of promoting a sense of purpose among senior citizens and creating a community network were also taken. As a result, the suicide rate per 100,000 in the intervention towns decreased from 70.8 before intervention (1999) to 34.1 after intervention (2004). The suicide rate per 100,000 in the control towns was 47.8 before intervention and 49.1 after intervention.
