本研究的主要目的是确定情境因素、死亡方式和他杀-自杀死亡之间的关系，特别是比较这些因素的死亡方式（枪支与非枪支）。我们使用了国家暴力死亡报告系统的数据，该系统是一个链接多个来源数据的暴力死亡报告系统。我们纳入了 2013 年至 2016 年 42 个州至少涉及一起凶杀案死亡后肇事者自杀的事件。除了单变量分析之外，我们还按事件、受害者和肇事者特征比较了包含枪支事件与非枪支事件的比例。到目前为止，枪支相关伤害是受害者（85.6%）和肇事者（89.5%）最常见的死亡原因。女性、西班牙裔、当前有心理健康问题的人和最近有抑郁症状的人使用枪支的几率较低，杀害亲密伴侣和其他家庭成员的犯罪者也是如此。最近打架的人使用枪支的可能性增加。尽管存在这些差异，但绝大多数他杀-自杀死亡都涉及枪支，这表明需要采取充分、适当的枪支控制措施来防止这些悲剧发生。
The primary aim of this study is to determine the relationship between situational factors, method of death, and homicide-suicide deaths, specifically comparing method of death (firearm vs. nonfirearm) across these factors. We used data from the national violence death reporting system, a reporting system for violent deaths that links data from multiple sources. We included incidents that involved at least one homicide death followed by perpetrator suicide in the 42 states from 2013 to 2016. In addition to univariate analyses, we compared proportions of incidents that included a firearm to non-firearm incidents by incident, victim, and perpetrator characteristics. By far, firearm-related injuries were the most frequent cause of death for victims (85.6%) and for perpetrators (89.5%). Women, Hispanic individuals, individuals with a current mental health issue, and individuals with recent depression symptoms had lower odds of using a firearm, as did perpetrators who killed both an intimate partner and other family member. Individuals who had recently been in a fight had increased odds of using a firearm. Despite these differences, the overwhelming majority of homicide-suicide deaths involved firearms, which supports the need for adequate, appropriate firearm control measures to prevent these tragedies.
