Content analysis of suicide-related online portrayals: changes in contents retrieved with search engines in the United States and Austria from 2013 to 2018.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:In recent years, efforts in suicide prevention in the United States and Europe have been made to change the conversation on suicide to incorporate more preventive aspects. The majority of information-seeking occurs online. Structured analyses assessing qualitative changes in retrieved online material on suicide over time, however, are scarce. We replicated a content analysis of suicide-related websites retrieved with popular search engines in the United States and Austria aiming to assess how suicide-related online portrayals have changed in the past five years. METHOD:We retrieved 396 websites using the search term suicide, method-related search terms (e.g., how to hang yourself), and help-related search terms (e.g., suicide help) in the United States and 286 websites from Austrian searches. We performed a content analysis based on media recommendations for suicide reporting and compared the findings to 335 websites in the United States and 396 websites in Austria retrieved in 2013 with the same procedure. RESULTS:In both countries, the number of both protective (United States: p < .001, Austria: p < .001) and harmful characteristics (United States: p < .001, Austria: p < .001) increased. The ratio of protective to harmful characteristics improved to 3.3:1 in the United States and to 2.4:1 in Austria. LIMITATIONS:No assumptions about the actual impact of the retrieved contents can be assumed. CONCLUSION:There has been an increase in potentially protective aspects in online portrayals of suicidality, but also an increase in potentially harmful characteristics, which may suggest an increasing polarization of suicide-related contents. Future prevention efforts need to address this potential polarization.
