In this study, we compared United States military decedents who died by suicide on their first attempt with decedents who had made multiple attempts. Death investigation files for 217 United States Air Force (USAF) personnel who died by suicide between 1996 and 2006 were coded for demographic, psychosocial, and psychiatric characteristics. Among USAF suicide decedents, 77% died by suicide on their first attempt and 23% had a documented history of at least one prior attempt. Decedents with a history of prior attempts were more likely to have an interpersonal stressor within 3 months of death and were twice as likely to have a documented Axis I diagnosis. There were few differences between military suicide decedents based on history of prior attempts. Further research is needed to inform military suicide prevention endeavors.
在本研究中，我们将首次尝试自杀死亡的美国军人死者与多次尝试自杀的死者进行了比较。对1996年至2006年间自杀死亡的217名美国空军（USAF）人员的死亡调查档案进行了人口统计学、心理社会和精神病学特征编码。在美国空军自杀死者中，77%是首次尝试自杀死亡，23%有至少一次先前尝试的记录。有先前尝试史的死者在死亡前3个月内更有可能遭遇人际压力源，且有记录的轴I诊断可能性是前者的两倍。基于先前尝试史的军事自杀死者之间差异不大。需要进一步研究以为军事自杀预防工作提供信息。
