Abstract

Background: Suicide is an important public health concern worldwide. Among various factors, social capital has been suggested to be an effective factor to prevent and reduce suicide. Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between social capital and suicide rates in Seoul, South Korea, using panel data from 2005 to 2018 at the administrative-district level. Methods: Data for the current study were obtained from Seoul Statistics. The within estimator and the system generalized methods of moments estimator were used. Results: The results showed that there was an inverse association between community facility and suicide rates. This result remained the same even after considering the dynamic relationship between social capital and suicide rates (B = -0.57, 95% CI: -1.10, -0.04) while adjusting for dynamic panel bias. A 10% increase in community facility per 1,000 population was associated with 5.2% reduction in age-standardized suicide rates per 100,000 population. Limitations: In this study, only a structural dimension of social capital was utilized due to the lack of available data. Conclusion: The results indicate that facilitating opportunities for social interactions and community lives has a potential to prevent and reduce suicide.

社会资本与自杀率的动态关系。

背景:自杀是世界范围内一个重要的公共卫生问题。在众多因素中，社会资本被认为是预防和减少自杀的有效因素。目的:本研究的目的是利用2005年至2018年行政区域层面的面板数据，调查韩国首尔社会资本与自杀率之间的关系。方法:本研究的数据来自首尔统计局。采用了内估计和系统广义矩估计方法。结果:社区设施与自杀率呈负相关。即使考虑到社会资本和自杀率之间的动态关系(B = -0.57, 95% CI: -1.10， -0.04)，同时调整了动态面板偏差，这一结果仍然相同。每1000人社区设施增加10%，每10万人年龄标准化自杀率降低5.2%。局限性:由于缺乏可用数据，本研究仅使用了社会资本的结构维度。结论:促进社会交往和社区生活的机会有可能预防和减少自杀。

期刊介绍： A must for all who need to keep up on the latest findings from both basic research and practical experience in the fields of suicide prevention and crisis intervention! This well-established periodical’s reputation for publishing important articles on suicidology and crisis intervention from around the world is being further enhanced with the move to 6 issues per year (previously 4) in 2010. But over and above its scientific reputation, Crisis also publishes potentially life-saving information for all those involved in crisis intervention and suicide prevention, making it important reading for clinicians, counselors, hotlines, and crisis intervention centers.
