Each year about 70% of all 19-year old males are enlisted to the Norwegian Armed Forces. The rapid rise in the number of suicides among young people will therefore inevitably be reflected among conscripts. Studies of epidemiology and risk factors have led to the development of a specific suicide prevention programme which includes educational, leadership and welfare elements, as well as efforts initiated through the military health care service. In addition, an emergency telephone service is available 24 hours a day. This suicide prevention programme, which has its origins in the military chain of command rather than the medical service, has so far been very well received and implemented throughout the Armed Forces.
每年约70%的19岁挪威男性会应征加入挪威武装部队。因此，年轻人自杀人数的快速上升不可避免地会在应征入伍者中有所体现。对流行病学和风险因素的研究促使制定了一项具体的自杀预防计划，该计划包括教育、领导力和福利等方面，以及通过军事医疗服务开展的工作。此外，还提供一天24小时的紧急电话服务。这项自杀预防计划源于军事指挥系统而非医疗服务部门，迄今为止在整个武装部队中都很受欢迎并得到了实施。
