Restriction of means for suicide is an important part of suicide preventive strategies in different countries. All suicides in Denmark between 1970 and 2000 were examined with regard to method used for suicide. Overall suicide mortality and method-specific suicide mortality was compared with official information about availability of medical compounds (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, analgesics, antidepressants) and carbon monoxide in vehicle exhaust and household gas. Restrictions on the availability of carbon monoxide, barbiturates and dextropropoxyphen was associated with a decline in the number of suicides by self-poisoning with these compounds. Restricted access occurred concomittantly with a 55% decrease in suicide rate.
限制自杀手段是不同国家自杀预防策略的重要组成部分。对1970年至2000年间丹麦所有自杀案例的自杀方法进行了研究。将总体自杀死亡率和特定方法的自杀死亡率与有关医疗化合物（巴比妥类药物、苯二氮卓类药物、镇痛药、抗抑郁药）以及汽车尾气和家用燃气中一氧化碳可用性的官方信息进行了比较。对一氧化碳、巴比妥类药物和右丙氧芬可用性的限制与使用这些化合物进行自我中毒导致的自杀人数下降有关。在自杀率下降55%的同时出现了获取受限的情况。
