After the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, some evacuees had no one to consult despite many local care providers offering assistance. This study identified the characteristics of individuals who did not receive consultations and the relevant determinants, and proposed the available measures to address this issue. Altogether, 32,699 participants aged 16 years or older and residing in the disaster area at Fukushima were surveyed. Those with no one to consult showed a significantly higher prevalence of psychological distress (16.2%, p &lt; 0.001) and drinking problems (21.5%, p &lt; 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that these behaviors were associated with the middle age group (i.e., 40-64 years old) (odds ratio [OR]: 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.16-1.46), men (OR = 2.46; 95% CI, 2.27-2.66), bad financial circumstances (OR = 2.11; 95% CI, 1.96-2.27), and living alone (OR = 1.53; 95% CI, 1.39-1.68). This research verifies that people with such characteristics were more likely to be isolated and vulnerable to psychiatric problems, such as depression. We suggest that it is integral for local care providers to recognize those who have no one to consult and provide targeted support.
