这项研究的目的是为了更好地帮助那些处于自杀危机中的人，通过检查与他们的自杀问题有关的使用互联网的自杀危险个人的类型。一项匿名的在线调查研究了出于自杀相关目的而上网的自杀风险个人(n=165)和一组没有此类经历的自杀风险个人(n=125)。与不上网的人相比，出于自杀相关目的上网的自杀风险个人报告的自杀风险症状更大，寻求帮助的可能性更小，感受到的社会支持也更少。在网上，许多人报告说他们得到了更多的支持，感觉不那么疏远，认为自己减少了自杀倾向，但也寻求自杀方法，并可能访问支持自杀的网站。影响包括设计允许点对点通信和匿名专业支持的帮助网站。
The objective of this study was to better help those in suicidal crisis by examining the types of suicide-risk individuals who make use of the Internet in relation to their suicidal problems. An anonymous online survey examined suicide-risk individuals who went online for suicide-related purposes (n = 165) and a reference group of suicide-risk individuals with no such experience (n = 125). Suicide-risk individuals who went online for suicide-related purposes, compared with online users who did not, reported greater suicide-risk symptoms, were less likely to seek help, and perceived less social support. Online, many reported more support, felt less alienated, believed they reduced their suicidality, but also sought suicide methods and were likely to visit "pro suicide" sites. Implications include designing help sites that allow peer-to-peer communications and anonymous professional support.
