We analyzed all suicides among draftees during the 10-year period 1981-1990. The distribution of 50 suicides followed a bimodal curve with the first peak occurring 20-60 days from the beginning of the military service and the second peak during the early specialization training. Suicides committed during the basic training period were characterized by the absence of preceding alcohol intoxication, which was significantly more often seen in the suicides committed later during service. Most of the cases had been in contact with the medical personnel a short time before suicide. We discuss preventive measures, such as health education directed to both draftees themselves and the medical personnel.
我们分析了1981年至1990年这10年间新兵中的所有自杀事件。50起自杀事件的分布呈双峰曲线，第一个高峰出现在服役开始后的20至60天，第二个高峰出现在早期专业训练期间。基础训练期间发生的自杀事件的特点是自杀前没有酒精中毒，而这在服役后期发生的自杀事件中更为常见。大多数案例在自杀前不久曾与医务人员接触。我们讨论了预防措施，如针对新兵本人和医务人员的健康教育。
