The 15 areas under study in the WHO/Euro Multicentre Study on Parasuicide vary considerably with regard to socio-economic factors, culture, life-styles, etc. In this paper, the authors discuss whether the traditional high risk factors for suicidal behavior (such as unemployment, abuse, divorce, etc.) take on different weights depending on local societal and cultural settings. Results from analyzing covariations between various background factors characteristic of the different areas under study and the frequency of attempted suicide showed weak or insignificant correlations, indicating that high-risk factors can only be identified from international pooled data with great care.
世界卫生组织欧洲区域办事处关于蓄意自伤的多中心研究中所涉及的15个地区，在社会经济因素、文化、生活方式等方面存在很大差异。在本文中，作者探讨了自杀行为的传统高危因素（如失业、虐待、离婚等）是否会因当地社会和文化背景的不同而具有不同的权重。对不同研究地区特有的各种背景因素与自杀未遂频率之间的协变量进行分析的结果显示，相关性较弱或不显著，这表明只能非常谨慎地从国际汇总数据中识别高危因素。
