Abstract Background In 2018 the overall suicide rate increased by 33% among students, as a part of a continued trend of rising suicide among adolescents. In 2015, the government of Japan aimed to reduce the overall suicide rate to 13 per 100,000 or less by 2025, but deaths among adolescents have been rising. This study analysed the trends in method-specific suicide among Japanese adolescents from 1979 to 2016 and compared suicide mortality rate in Japan with other OECD countries. Methods We obtained vital statistics data from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as well as the global health observatory of the WHO. Poisson regression analysis was performed separately by sex with year, age category, suicide method and a 1998 step variable as covariates. Results We found that hanging suicide rates among high school level boys are 12.15 times and girls are 6.17 times the rate of elementary school-aged children. The year 1998 saw a peak in suicide rates by hanging, which increased by more than 60% among both boys and girls. Japan is near the median of OECD suicide rates, with crude suicide mortality rates of 7.8 per 100,000 among 15–19-year-olds in 2016. Conclusions Suicide among adolescents has been rising during the last decades. Several factors related to the school and family environment, and mental health problems may have affected the adolescent suicide rate in Japan Key messages An urgent need is evident to address suicide among high school and university-aged adolescents.

Darussalam Sub-district is one of the largest sub-districts consisting 29 villages in Aceh Besar Regency. This sub-district serves its function for settlements, offices, trading, and education. As there are many people reside in the area, the trip-generation and traffic rate to the activities centers also increase and it requires adequate road capacity. Therefore, a trip-generation model is to estimate the number of people who travel needed in Darussalam area. This study aims to define the trip-generation pattern from and to home based on the level of education and type of occupation concerning the mandatory activities. Moreover, it aims to determine the vehicles proportion used by the people in the mandatory activities. The sampling technique used in this research is proportionate stratified random sampling. The result of this study shows that factors that influencing trip-generation of people with the education level under High School at the mandatory time are actually the age. While for people with the education background above the high school level, their trip-generation depends on the family structure, the number of family members in the family working, the number of motorcycles in the family, and the number of the family owning the driving license. Moreover, the factors influencing the trip-generation of people who do not work for government at the mandatory activities are age, the number of family members who work, and the number of family members who are still students. At the other hand, the factors influencing the trip-generation of people who work for the government at their mandatory activities are the number of motorcycles in the family, the number of cars in the family, and the number of family members owning driver license. The dominant modes of transport used by the residents of Darussalam Sub-district at all education and working travels for mandatory activities are motorcycles which are 218 modes (72.6%) and cars which are 82 modes (217.33%).
