The study of suicide notes and the evolution of their content could contribute to a better understanding of reasons conducive to suicide mortality and offer further prevention strategies. From 1895 to 1985, 706 coroner's inquests of individuals who died by suicide and were 20 years old or younger were found in the province of Quebec. Quantitative analysis compared those who left notes ( = 47) to those who did not leave notes ( 659). Furthermore, notes were subjected to inductive thematic analysis. Sociodemographic characteristics of the deceased individuals did not change over time. Qualitative analysis revealed four superordinate themes: (1) , (2) , (3) , and (4) . Only the last theme evolved over the time period considered. Suicide notes shed light on the psychological state of the majority of young note leavers and suggest the persistent feelings of distress and entrapment before the suicide, which may be important factors for caregivers and family members to monitor.
研究自杀遗言及其内容的演变，可以帮助我们更好地理解导致自杀死亡率的原因，并提供进一步的预防策略。从 1895 年到 1985 年，在魁北克省发现了 706 例 20 岁或 20 岁以下因自杀而死亡的验尸调查。定量分析比较了留下遗言的人（ = 47）和没有留下遗言的人（ 659）。此外，还对遗言进行了归纳主题分析。随着时间的推移，死者的社会人口统计学特征没有改变。定性分析揭示了四个主要主题：（1），（2），（3）和（4）。只有最后一个主题在考虑的时间段内发生了演变。自杀遗言揭示了大多数留下遗言的年轻人的心理状态，并表明在自杀前持续感到痛苦和困境，这可能是照顾者和家庭成员监测的重要因素。
