The authors describe methods of suicide registered in Denmark during the last 70 years. The preferred method was initially hanging then later poisoning, first mainly with household gas, later with other agents, especially overdoses of medicine. In recent years there has, however, also been an increasing number of hangings, drownings and other methods of suicide, and there seems to be an increasing inclination towards selecting more violent methods. The Danes' choice of method for committing suicide differ somewhat from that in the other Scandinavian countries; in particular, there have been far more cases of self-poisoning in Denmark.
作者描述了丹麦过去70年中登记的自杀方式。首选方式最初是上吊，后来是中毒，起初主要是家用煤气中毒，后来是其他药剂，尤其是过量服药。然而，近年来上吊、溺水及其他自杀方式的数量也在增加，而且选择更暴力方式的倾向似乎在增强。丹麦人选择的自杀方式与其他斯堪的纳维亚国家略有不同；特别是丹麦的自我中毒案例要多得多。
