This study deals with suicides of children and adolescents in the region of Tyrol, Austria from 1976-1984. The upper age limit was set at 19 years. During the time period stated above, 54 suicides were registered for the relevant age group, using police records as a source of information. Special attention was paid to the distribution of age, sex and occupation, as well as to the suicide methods. As far as age distribution is concerned, a significant increase of suicides was registered at the age of 15 and again at the age of 19. According to the authors, the reason for this increase is pronounced psychosocial changes which occur especially in these age groups and weaken social integration. The various implications ensuing from the available data are discussed.
本研究涉及1976年至1984年奥地利蒂罗尔地区儿童和青少年自杀情况。年龄上限设定为19岁。在上述时间段内，以警方记录为信息来源，该相关年龄组登记了54起自杀事件。特别关注了年龄、性别和职业分布以及自杀方式。就年龄分布而言，15岁和19岁时自杀人数显著增加。作者认为，这种增加的原因是特别是在这些年龄组中发生的明显社会心理变化，这些变化削弱了社会融合。文中讨论了现有数据产生的各种影响。
