Abstract

This article reviews simple epidemiological data on completed suicide rates in different nations of the world, the results of time-series studies of suicide in nations, and the results of regional correlates of suicide rates within nations. It is argued that it is important to conduct comparable sociological studies in samples of nations so that the general trends and deviations from these trends can be observed and efforts made to explain these phenomena.

摘要

本文回顾了世界不同国家自杀死亡率的简单流行病学数据、各国自杀时间序列研究的结果以及国内自杀率的区域相关因素研究结果。文章认为，在多国样本中开展具有可比性的社会学研究很重要，这样才能观察到总体趋势以及与这些趋势的偏差，并努力解释这些现象。
