调查小组由83名女性酗酒者组成，她们在1961年至1968年期间在Malmö接受了禁酒委员会的第一次强制治疗。他们的社会经济地位很低。在许多情况下，妇女在社会上处于严重的不利地位。到1973年底，其中15人（18%）死亡：8人死于意外事故，4人死于自杀，1人死于肝硬化，1人死于心肌梗死，1人死于脑出血。一般死亡率和特定原因死亡率是根据女性特定年龄风险表计算的。观察到的死亡率与预期死亡率之比为：所有死亡原因为7:1，事故为70:1，自杀为30:1，其他原因为1.6:1。在第一次接受强制治疗时，死于自杀的女性平均比其他女性酗酒者年轻，而死于其他原因的女性平均年龄更大。所有死于自杀的人早先都曾多次企图自杀。在所有已知的自杀企图中，有整整一半采用了暴力方法。
The investigation group is composed of the 83 female alcoholics who, in the period 1961–68, were subjected to their first compulsory treatment by the Temperance Board in Malmö. Their socioeconomic status was low. In many cases the women were heavily disadvantaged, socially. By the end of 1973, 15 of them (18%) had died: 8 through accidents, 4 by suicide, 1 of liver cirrhosis, 1 of myocardial infarction, and 1 of cerebral haemorrhage. General and cause-specific mortality was calculated on the basis of age-specific risk tables for females. The ratio of observed to expected mortality was: for all causes of death fully 7:1, for accidents 70:1, for suicides 30:1, and for other causes 1.6: 1. Those who died as a result of suicide were on average younger than the other female alcoholics at the first compulsory treatment, and those who died of other causes were on average older. All who died by suicide had earlier made many attempts at suicide. In fully half of all known attempts at suicide, violent methods had been employed.
