An analysis of all 776 suicides reported in Monroe County, New York, from 1966 through 1975 showed that psychiatric patients differ in systematic ways from other individuals who commit suicide. Forty-three percent of the total suicides were committed by patients with recorded contacts in the Monroe County Psychiatric Case Register. While suicide rates by age and sex for the overall population were similar to those reported previously, rates for the subgroup of psychiatric patients yielded little variation by age or sex.
对1966年至1975年纽约门罗县报告的所有776起自杀事件进行的分析表明，精神病患者与其他自杀者在系统方式上存在差异。在门罗县精神病病例登记册中有记录接触史的患者占自杀总数的43%。虽然总体人群的年龄和性别自杀率与之前报告的相似，但精神病患者亚组的自杀率在年龄或性别上几乎没有差异。
