As the United Nations and the World Health Organization emphasized on suicide prevention national strategies, the local government's leading role in reducing suicide rates is a key factor. Especially the local government's suicide prevention plan, which has been established in accordance with the local situation and context, is very important for effective suicide prevention projects. To investigate whether the core components for achieving effective suicide prevention programs were included in the local governments’ suicide prevention plans, suicide prevention policies of all 17 metropolitan local governments in Korea were investigated based on the 20 detailed tasks in the 3 strategies of the National Suicide Prevention Policy and the 11 core components of the Local Governments Suicide Prevention Plan Implementation Manual for in-depth contents analysis and descriptive statistics. The results show that the planning system, schedule, management plan need to be improved when establishing the metropolitan governments’ suicide prevention plan. Based on these findings, we discussed the need to supplement the local governments’ suicide prevention policy to reduce the suicide rate and propose the future direction of suicide prevention policy.
