越来越多的证据表明,互联网和社交媒体可以影响与自杀相关的行为。重要的问题是,这种影响是否对公众构成重大风险,以及如何使用公共卫生方法来解决这一问题。为了解决这些问题,我们概述了社交媒体可以对自杀行为产生负面和正面影响的方式,并评估了这种风险的证据。我们还讨论了这一重要主题的法律复杂性,并从公共卫生的角度提出了研究和预防计划的未来方向。(我是J公共卫生。2012年;102:S195-S200。DOI:10.2105/AJPH.2011.300608)
There is increasing evidence that the Internet and social media can influence suicide-related behavior. Important questions are whether this influence poses a significant risk to the public and how public health approaches might be used to address the issue. To address these questions, we provide an overview of ways that social media can influence suicidal behavior, both negatively and positively, and we evaluate the evidence of the risk. We also discuss the legal complexities of this important topic and propose future directions for research and prevention programs based on a public health perspective.
