这项研究的目的是确定从高处跳下结束生命的人的社会和诊断特征，并比较从桥上跳下的人与从其他地方跳下的人的特征。瑞士联邦统计局和地方当局收集了1990年至2003年的自杀数据。一般来说，从高处跳下的人比使用其他方法的人更容易患精神分裂症。从桥上跳下的人比其他方式自杀的人年轻。与那些从其他网站跳下来的人相比，受试者平均年轻14.3岁，而且更多是男性。从精神病院附近的桥上跳下的人更有可能患有精神疾病。从桥上跳下的人与从其他地方跳下的人在某些特征上不同。为了将来的分类，区分从桥上自杀和从其他高度自杀可能是有帮助的。在预防跳桥自杀方面，应注意高危青少年的特点。
The goal of the study was to determine social and diagnostic characteristics of persons who end their lives by jumping from heights and to compare the characteristics of those who jump from bridges with those jumping from other sites. Data on suicide in Switzerland between 1990 and 2003 were collected from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office and from local authorities. Persons who jumped from heights in general were more likely to suffer from schizophrenia than those who used other methods. Persons who jumped from bridges were younger than those committing suicide by other methods. Compared with those who jumped from other sites, subjects were on average 14.3 years younger and more often male. Individuals who jumped from bridges close to psychiatric hospitals were more likely to suffer from psychiatric illness. Individuals who jump from bridges differ in certain characteristics from those who jump from other sites. For future classification it may be helpful to distinguish suicides from bridges from suicides from other heights. For prevention of suicide from bridges, attention should be paid to characteristics of young persons at risk.
