AIM
Determine major substances and risk factors for suicide by chemical overdose in New Zealand between 2001 and 2005.
METHOD
All intentional deaths between 2001 and 2005 were reviewed. Primary substances causing death were verified from toxicology reports.
RESULTS
The chemical suicide rate was higher among older Europeans, women and those in paid work than other groups. Carbon monoxide and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) continue to be the most common chemicals used, in spite of market changes. Anaesthetics and cyanide deaths among workers were noted.
CONCLUSION
Restricted access to work-related chemicals and stricter prescription/dispensing controls for TCAs may reduce self-poisoning in New Zealand.
目的
确定2001年至2005年间新西兰因过量使用化学品自杀的主要物质和风险因素。
方法
回顾了2001年至2005年间所有的故意死亡案例。从毒理学报告中核实导致死亡的主要物质。
结果
在老年欧洲人、女性和有薪工作者中，化学品自杀率高于其他群体。尽管市场发生了变化，但一氧化碳和三环类抗抑郁药（TCAs）仍然是最常用的化学品。注意到工人中因麻醉剂和氰化物导致的死亡。
结论
限制获取与工作相关的化学品以及对三环类抗抑郁药实行更严格的处方/配药控制，可能会减少新西兰的自我中毒现象。
