This is a retrospective study of 156 cases of parasuicide in a homogenous population of male conscripts in the Singapore Armed Forces. The rate of parasuicide was 12.5 per 100,000 soldiers at risk. Suicide attempters were from the lower rank and one-third were undergoing basic military training at the time of their attempts. Drug ingestion was the commonest method and this was followed by jumping from a height, a method unique to the Singapore experience. Most of the conscripts gave no prior warning and appeared to have no strong desire to kill themselves. Interpersonal problems was the predominant reason given for their suicide attempts.
这是一项针对新加坡武装部队男性新兵这一同质化群体中156例准自杀案例的回顾性研究。准自杀率为每10万名有风险的士兵中有12.5例。自杀未遂者来自较低军衔，三分之一在自杀未遂时正在接受基础军事训练。服药是最常见的方法，其次是跳楼，这是新加坡特有的一种方法。大多数新兵没有事先发出警告，似乎也没有强烈的自杀意愿。人际关系问题是他们自杀未遂的主要原因。
