Media Roles in Suicide Prevention: A Systematic Review
Merike Sisask,Airi Värnik +1 more
TL;DR: Most of the studies support the idea that media reporting and suicidality are associated, however, there is a risk of reporting bias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suicide Methods in Asia: Implications in Suicide Prevention
TL;DR: Examining the leading suicide methods in different Asian countries, their trend, their age- and sex- specific characteristics, and their implications for suicide prevention finds it more cost-effective to design safety into technologies as a way of suicide prevention while there is no rash of suicides yet by the new technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internet pathways in suicidality : A review of the evidence
TL;DR: The results illustrated that specific Internet pathways increased the risk for suicidal behaviours, particularly in adolescents and young people, and showed that the Internet could be an effective tool for suicide prevention, especially for socially-isolated and vulnerable individuals, who might otherwise be unreachable.
