This paper examines suicide statistics in the 15-19 years group in England and Wales between 1950 and 1984. There was an increase in suicide rate for both sexes between 1950 and the mid 1960's, largely due to suicide using domestic gas. The rate then decreased as domestic gas was detoxified, and this was followed by a further increase in suicide associated with poisoning with solids and liquids until the late 1970's. More recently there has been an increase, particularly for males, in suicide by hanging, strangulation and suffocation, poisoning with vehicle exhaust gas and firearms and explosives.
本文研究了1950年至1984年间英格兰和威尔士15至19岁年龄段的自杀统计数据。1950年至20世纪60年代中期，两性的自杀率均有所上升，这主要归因于使用家用燃气自杀的情况。随着家用燃气被解毒，自杀率随后下降，接着与固体和液体中毒相关的自杀率再次上升，直至20世纪70年代末。最近，上吊、勒死和窒息、汽车尾气中毒以及使用枪支和爆炸物自杀的情况有所增加，尤其是男性。
