The present study aimed to establish willingness to pay for suicide prevention among taxpayers in Japan. We conducted an internet-based questionnaire survey using a double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation, and analyzed data for 956 participants. The median willingness to pay to reduce the mortality risk from suicide by 25% was JPY 1,572 ($13.67 USD). Being married was significantly associated with willingness to pay. The willingness to pay to reduce the mortality risk from suicide may be lower than that to reduce other mortality risks such as traffic accidents.
本研究旨在确定日本纳税人对预防自杀的支付意愿。我们采用双边界二分法选择条件价值评估法进行了一项基于互联网的问卷调查，并对956名参与者的数据进行了分析。将自杀死亡风险降低25%的支付意愿中位数为1572日元（13.67美元）。已婚与支付意愿显著相关。降低自杀死亡风险的支付意愿可能低于降低交通事故等其他死亡风险的支付意愿。
