Charcoal burning suicides in Hong Kong between 2002-2004 in the 15 to 59-year-old age group were investigated using the psychological autopsy method. The psychopathological profiles of charcoal burning suicides (N = 53) were compared against "other suicides" (N = 97). The two groups did not differ significantly in the prevalence of DSM-IV axis I diagnoses with the exception of schizophrenic spectrum disorder which was less frequently associated with charcoal burning suicides. Score on "neuroticism" in the NEO-five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) was significantly higher in victims of charcoal burning suicide. There was also a trend toward higher score on "conscientiousness" in the NEO-FFI among charcoal burners than victims of other suicide.
2002-2004 年期间，香港对年龄在 15 岁至 59 岁之间的 53 例因烧炭自杀的患者及 97 例其他自杀患者进行了心理解剖研究。结果发现，两组患者在 DSM-IV 轴 I 疾病的患病率上无明显差异，但除精神分裂症谱系障碍外，其他疾病与烧炭自杀的关联程度均较低。在 NEO 五因素人格问卷（NEO-FFI）中，烧炭自杀者的“神经质”得分显著高于其他自杀者。此外，烧炭自杀者的“尽责性”得分也略高于其他自杀者。
