ABSTRACT
The purpose of study was to clarify the factors involved in the popularization of a voluntary group in several locations within Shitara Town. A questionnaire survey was administered to participants of a voluntary group concerning its founding, their participation in the group, and continuity within the group. Responses were obtained from 96 participants. Regarding the founding and participation aspects of the voluntary group, participants believed that the presence of others (i.e., the “existence of peers”) had significant effects. They also believed that voluntary participation that was driven by “one’s own health” was more likely to lead to continued participation. It is important to consider regional factors and interpersonal linkages to enhance the relationship between resident-led self-help and mutual assistance measures aimed at improving residents’ health awareness.
