Twenty suicide pacts (double suicides) from the Florida Dade County Medical Examiner's Office were identified. These data were compared using a standardized instrument to published suicide pact data from England, Japan, and Bangalore City, India. Results were analyzed using simple statistical methods. Major differences were found between Western suicide pacts and Eastern suicide pacts. In this study, the frequency of suicide pacts was found to be greatest for Japan; lover pacts were found to be typical for Japan; spouse pacts were typical for Dade County and England; and friend pact frequency was greatest for Bangalore City. In addition, it was found that suicide pact victims, in general, choose nonviolent suicide methods.
从佛罗里达州戴德县法医办公室确认了20起自杀协议（双双自杀）事件。使用标准化工具将这些数据与来自英国、日本和印度班加罗尔市已公布的自杀协议数据进行比较。结果采用简单的统计方法进行分析。发现西方自杀协议和东方自杀协议之间存在重大差异。在本研究中，发现日本的自杀协议发生率最高；恋人协议在日本很典型；配偶协议在戴德县和英国很典型；朋友协议发生率在班加罗尔市最高。此外，还发现自杀协议受害者通常选择非暴力自杀方式。
