Compared to previous volumes, an increased number of examined materials have to be referred. In fact, during the current semester, the number of articles scrutinised has been the highest yet, with a progression that testi- fies a remarkably growing interest from scholars for the field of suicide research (718 articles for the first, 757 for the second, 892 for the third, and 1,121 for the fourth, 1,276 for the fifth, and 1,472 in the present volume). As usual, the initial section of the volume collects a number of publications that could have particular relevance for the Australian people in terms of potential appli- cability. These publications are accompanied by a short comment from us, and an explanation of the motives that justify why we have considered of interest the imple- mentation of studies’ findings in the Australian context. An introductory part pro- vides the rationale and the methodology followed in the identification of papers. The central part of the volume represents a selection of research articles of par- ticular significance; their abstracts are reported in extenso, underlining our invitation at reading those papers in full text: they represent a remarkable advancement of suicide research knowledge. The last section reports all items retrievable from major electronic databases. We have catalogued them on the basis of their prevailing reference to fatal and non-fatal suicidal behaviours, with various sub-headings (e.g. epidemiology, risk factors, etc). The deriving list guarantees a level of completeness superior to any individual system; it can constitute a useful tool for all those interested in a quick update of what most recently published on the topic. Our intent was to make suicide research more approachable to non-specialists, and in the meantime provide an opportunity for a vademecum

Objective: The aim of this study is to systematically review research related to the emotional and behavioral impact on children and young people who view or share web-based self-harm±related videos or images. Methods: We searched databases (including Embase, PsychINFO, and MEDLINE) from January 1991 to February 2019. Search terms were categorized into internet use, images nonspecific and specific to the internet, and self-harm and suicide. Stepwise screening against specified criteria and data extraction were completed by two independent reviewers. Eligible articles were quality assessed, and a narrative synthesis was conducted. Results: A total of 19 independent studies (20 articles) were included. Of these, 4 studies focused on images, 10 (11 articles) on videos, and 5 on both. There were 4 quantitative, 9 qualitative, and 7 mixed methods articles. In total, 11 articles were rated as high quality.

    11 SUICIDE: AN OVERVIEW STEPHANIE P. HUTCHESON & R. MACHELLE MAJOR The family of an 18-year-old girl is in shock after she was found dead, hanging from the rafters of the apartment she shared with her mother on Sunday afternoon. Police say the evidence sug- gests that Keisha Thurston, a recent graduate of CC Sweeting, committed suicide and expect to close the investigation in the next few days.1 omestic violence, child abuse, and gun violence are clear and often public acts of violence, but this chapter explores a violence that may be less obvious, violence against oneself – specifically the act of suicide. D The global phenomenon of suicide represents a desperate and violent act against the self with the intent to end life. A 2011 World Health Organization (WHO) report estimated that more than 800,000 persons worldwide died by suicide.2 In May 2013, the WHO took a decisive step in addressing the global trend of suicide through the adoption of the Mental Health Action Plan.3 This Mental Health Action Plan marked a new thrust on at least two levels: it was an historic first step in constructing a comprehensive international mental health plan. Further, a significant feature of the Mental Health Action Plan was the focus on and inclusion of, suicide prevention to reduce the global burden of suicide and the sequelae associated with suicide.4 International statistics indicate that the highest rates of suicide occur in Eastern European nations with the lowest rates in Latin American and Muslim countries.5 Worldwide, suicide is reported as the eighth leading cause of death for those countries where data are available.6 In the 15-34 age group, re- search indicates that suicide is the third leading cause of death.7 Suicide is a well-researched area in the field of psychology and sociology.

Methods: The EBSCOhost (Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL), OvidSP, the Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect databases were searched for literature regarding Web-based suicide prevention strategies from 1997 to 2013 according to the modified PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. The selected articles were subjected to quality rating and data extraction. Results: Good quality literature was surprisingly sparse, with only 15 fulfilling criteria for inclusion in the review, and most were rated as being medium to low quality.

In addition to consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, a review of the evidence in relation to the prevention of suicide and self harm was prepared in order to inform the development of the Protect Life Strategy (SHSSB, 2006). The importance of evidence based suicide prevention programmes has been highlighted in reviews of the worldwide literature evaluating the effectiveness of suicide prevention programmes (Mann et al, 2005; Goldney, 2005). The main objective of the present review was to update the 2006 review of the evidence base provided for Protect Life by reviewing the national and international literature and research evidence published and reported between January 2006 and December 2009.

  • Geographies of Suicide and the Representation of Self-Sacrifice in Japanese Popular Culture and Media
    Megan Rose O'Kane 40082809 Geographies of Suicide and the Representation of Self-Sacrifice in Japanese Popular Culture and Media 27/04/16 Word Count: 13,142 1 This dissertation has been submitted towards the degree of BSc Honours in Geography at Queen's University Belfast. I certify that all material in this dissertation is my own, except where explicitly identified. 2 Abstract Japan's suicide rate is the highest in the developed world. Despite being a nation famous for its economic prosperity, Japan has a multitude of issues relating to social development. Patrick Smith (1997) writes about 'the samurai who carries a briefcase', a visual metaphor which effectively conveys the cultural schizophrenia plaguing the mentalities of modern Japanese society. The convergence of deep- rooted traditional Japanese philosophies with the modern capitalist mindset has resulted in a very unique and convoluted moral code among the contemporary Japanese population. Unlike Western society, suicide carries no social stigma and at times is even celebrated; a mindset inherited from generations of honourable self- sacrifice instilled by the samurai code. This research paper explores two famous pieces of Japanese popular media, and assesses the ways in which representations of suicide are produced and consumed. By focussing on the identification of geographies of suicide, spatially and temporally specific Japanese social maladies, and the sensationalisation of suicide in the media, this paper provides a comprehensive insight into the social realities reflected in these fictional works. 3 Acknowledgements I could not have completed my dissertation without the emotional support from my family and friends. I would like to single out my mother for all her proof-reading and constant support, I cannot thank her enough.

  • Suicide and the News and Information Media
    Suicide and the news and information media A CRITICAL REVIEW Jane Pirkis and Warwick Blood February 2010 This critical review was written by Jane Pirkis and Warwick Blood. It is a review of an earlier critical review published in 2001. The work was commissioned by the Hunter Institute of Mental Health as part of the Mindframe National Media Initiative, with funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. The critical review is available for download from the ‘resources’ section of the Mindframe website at www.mindframe-media.info © ISBN: 978-1-74241-166-8 Online ISBN: 978-1-74241-167-5 Publications Approval Number 6457 Copyright Statements: Paper-based publications © Commonwealth of Australia 2010 This work is copyright.

This review considers studies of news and information media, both traditional (newspapers, television, books) and newer media (the Internet). It also considers mixed media. The current review constitutes an update of an earlier review of the news and information media (Pirkis & Blood, 2001a, 2001b).
