简介：自杀是由多种生物心理社会因素引起的多方面复杂结果，是公共卫生方面的关注，尽管采取了各种有效的预防措施，但自杀人数仍在增加。围绕自杀仍有许多污名化需要解决。社交媒体正在成倍增长，并且有许多讨论自杀的论坛。因此，我们在Facebook和Reddit的社交媒体平台上进行了有关自杀观念的简短调查，以收集更多信息。结果：在152名受访者中，有86％的人认为自杀是可以预防的，而72.85％的人认为自杀是人的死亡权利。约三分之一（31.79％）的亲人丧生。不认为自杀是可以预防的受访者也认为自杀是力量的体现（42。86％）或报仇行为（33.3％）。那些回答说与他们亲近的人死于自杀的人认为媒体夸耀了自杀（56.25％），而那些没有失去某人的人则不相信（66.99％）。女性（61％）发现社交媒体是人们寻求帮助的良好平台，而男性却没有（60.61％）。结论：我们利用社交媒体平台评估了对自杀的看法，并发现在大多数年轻的白人受访者样本中，自杀没有受到污名化，大多数人认为这是可以预防的，并且是人的自杀死亡权。尽管女性发现社交媒体是寻求支持的良好平台，但男性却并非如此，这符合女性倾向于更愿意寻求帮助的趋势。该小组的三分之一使接近他们的人丧生，这是全国平均水平，倾向于相信媒体夸耀自杀的人。该研究的局限性包括以下事实：那些自愿回答调查的人可能对该主题感兴趣，而这可能无法准确反映公众的意见和态度。

Suicide, Stigma, and Utilizing Social Media Platforms to Gauge Public Perceptions.

Introduction: Suicide, a multifaceted complex outcome that arises from numerous biopsychosocial factors, is a public health concern which is growing in numbers despite valiant prevention efforts. There is still a lot of stigma surrounding suicide that needs to be addressed. Social media is growing exponentially and there are many forums where suicidality is being discussed. As a result, we conducted a brief survey on the perception of suicide on social media platforms of Facebook and Reddit in order to gather more information. Results: Of the 152 respondents, 86% believed that suicide is preventable, and 72.85% believed that it is a person's right to die by suicide. About a third (31.79%) had lost someone close to them to suicide. Respondents who did not think suicide was preventable also viewed suicide as either a sign of strength (42.86%) or a revenge act (33.3%). Those who responded that someone close to them died by suicide believed that the media glorified suicide (56.25%) while those who did not lose someone, did not believe that (66.99%). Women (61%) found social media to be a good platform for people to ask for help while men did not (60.61%). Conclusions: We utilized the social media platforms to gauge the perception of suicide and found among the sample of mostly young white respondents, suicide is not stigmatized, most believed it is preventable and it is a person's right to die by suicide. While women found social media to be a good platform to ask for support, men did not, which is in keeping with the trend that women tend to be more willing to seek help. A third of the group had lost someone close to them to suicide which was the national average, who tended to believe that media glorified suicide. Limitations of this study include the fact that those who respond voluntarily to a survey likely have an interest in the topic, and this might not accurately reflect the public opinion and attitude.
