Abstract

Korea's suicide rate is 23.0 people per 100,000 OECD standard population (as of 2017), the highest among OECD member countries, 2.1 times higher than the OECD average of 11.2. The suicide rate in Gangwon-do is the fourth highest in the country and the number of suicides is 507, with a suicide rate of 26.1 per 100,000 people. As basic data for reducing the suicide rate in Gangwon-do, the National Statistical Office, National Health Statistics, Community Health Survey, Health Insurance Corporation DB, Mental Health Case Management System (MHIS), and previous studies were analyzed in relation to suicide. Based on this, it is intended to provide basic data for reducing the suicide rate in Gangwon-do and to provide basic data for the design and use of an effective social intervention model.

우리나라의 자살률은 OECD 표준인구 10만 명당 기준 23.0명(2017년 기준)으로 OECD 회원국 중 가장 높고 OECD 평균 11.2명보다 2.1배 높다. 강원도 내 자살률이 전국에서 4번째로 높고 자살자 수가 507명으로 인구 10만 명당 자살률이 26.1명 으로 나타났다. 이에 강원도 자살률 감소를 위해 통계청, 국가보건통계지표, 지역사회건강조사, 건강보험공단 DB, 정신건강사례관리시스템(MHIS), 선행연구 등을 기초자료로 자살과 관련된 요인을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 강원도의 자살률 감소와 효과적인 사회적 중재 모형의 설계 및 활용을 위한 기초자료 제공하고자 한다.
