Since the proposition of the social integration theory by Émile Durkheim, macro-sociological changes have been speculated to affect suicide rates. This study investigates the effect of the First World War on Irish suicide rates. We applied an interrupted time series design of 1864-1921 annual Irish suicide rates. The 1864-1913 suicide rates exhibited a slow-rising trend with a sharp decline from the year 1914 onwards. The odds for death by suicide for males during the 1914-1918 period was 0.811 (95% CI 0.768-0.963). Irish rates of suicide were significantly reduced during the First World War, most notably for males.

自埃米尔·涂尔干提出社会整合理论以来,人们一直推测宏观社会学变化会影响自杀率。本研究调查了第一次世界大战对爱尔兰自杀率的影响。我们采用了1864 - 1921年爱尔兰年度自杀率的中断时间序列设计。1864 - 1913年的自杀率呈缓慢上升趋势,从1914年起急剧下降。1914 - 1918年期间男性自杀死亡的几率为0.811(95%置信区间0.768 - 0.963)。第一次世界大战期间爱尔兰的自杀率显著降低,男性尤为明显。
