TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Suicide after deployment in UN peacekeeping missions--a Danish pilot study JO - Crisis A1 - Hansen-Schwartz, J. A1 - Jessen, G. A1 - Andersen, Kirsty A1 - Jørgensen, Hans-Ole SP - 55 EP - 58 VL - 23 IS - 2 N2 - This pilot study looks at the frequency of suicide among Danish soldiers who took part in the UN mandated forces (UNMF) during the 1990's. In a contingent of nearly 4000 Danish UN soldiers four suicides were documented, two of whom committed suicide less than one month before deployment and two who committed suicide within a year after discharge from mission. Contributing factors, prevention strategies, and implications for future research are discussed.
