Objective:
To examine the establishment of Health Japan 21 regional plans according to the local community type.
Methods:
We sent all the Japanese local governments a questionnaire regarding the establishment of health Japan 21 regional plans with a request to provide a hardcopy of established regional plans.
Results:
Of the respondent 1954 local communities, the proportions regarding establishment of plans (including "Completed" and "In the course of") according to the community type were: major, middle sized cities and Tokyo metropolitan wards, 100%; other cities, 64.9%; towns, 40.7%; and villages, 38.8%. Of the 500 local communities which answered "Completed establishment", the proportions with release onto the internet (including "Completed" and "In the course of") were: major cities, 100%; middle sized cities, 67.7%; Tokyo metropolitan wards, 85.7%; other cities, 38.8%; towns, 13.5%; and villages, 14.3%. We examined whether each of the 462 collected regional plans included each of the national Health Japan 21's target themes and items, and found a tendency for smaller community' regional plans to be less likely to give comprehensive coverage.
Conclusion:
More support for smaller local governments is necessary to achieve establishment and effective implementation of Health Japan 21 regional plans.
