摘要： 以国内部分重点高校2006-2010年非正常死亡的475名学生为基础数据，探索中国大学生非正常死亡现象的特点与规律。结果发现：（1）大学生非正常死亡率（每年每10万人, 下同）为4.94，自杀率为2.37，自杀死亡占非正常死亡的47.2%。（2）本科生非正常死亡率为4.69，硕士生为5.97，博士生为4.82，硕士生非正常死亡率较高。（3）大学生非正常死亡率和自杀率远低于同龄人。（4）把非正常死亡原因分成疾病原因、意外原因、人为原因、自杀、不明原因等五类，其中自杀死亡所占比例最大。（5）在意外原因导致死亡中，因车祸造成的死亡所占比例最大，为47.4%；其次是溺水死亡，因中毒、高坠、火灾、触电等造成的死亡所占比例较少。减少大学生非正常死亡的工作重点是：通过心理危机知识宣传和教育及加强心理危机干预工作，进一步降低自杀率；有针对性地对大学生进行避免交通事故、加强自我防范意识的安全教育，以减少意外伤害死亡。
