Abstract

Between 1979 and 1991, 56 suicides occurred within the Hong Kong subway system. Data on these fatalities, together with data on those who survived suicide attempts, are presented, along with guidelines established to assist the subway system staff in detecting, preventing and coping with such acts of self-destruction.
