INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of screening using the six-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) for suicide death after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) in combination with binge drinking, diagnosed history of mental disorders, disaster-related experiences, disaster stress symptoms, sleep status, and social network, which were used in the practical settings of disaster-related mental health services.
METHODS: This prospective cohort study spanned the period from 2013 to 2021. Among the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project sample, 27,335 affected residents and 61,157 residents living within the disaster-stricken area (i.e., those who experienced partial or no house damage and did not evacuate even if they lived in the disaster-stricken area) of the GEJE were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses of the K6 score in combination with the following related factors: binge drinking, disaster experiences (loss of a family member, relatives and friends, and decrease in income), disaster-related stress symptoms (recollection of disaster experiences, physical reactions due to recalling the disaster), diagnosed history of mental disorders (depression and post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]), sleep status, and social network.
RESULTS: In the ROC analyses, when the K6 score was combined with relevant variables, newly developed PTSD after the GEJE (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.878 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.773-0.982]), disaster-related stress symptom of recollection of disaster experiences (AUC: 0.849 [95% CI: 0.714-0.985]), and decreased income (AUC: 0.835 [95% CI: 0.726-0.945] yielded higher AUCs than did the K6 score alone (AUC: 0.681 [95% CI: 0.567-0.794]).
CONCLUSIONS: When screening using K6 for suicide death, combining the K6 score with newly developed PTSD, recollection-related disaster stress symptoms, and decreased income could generate more accurate predictions of suicide after the disaster. We hope these findings will contribute to minimizing post-disaster suicide in the context of disaster-related mental health services. (297 words).
