The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the decrease in suicide rate and media reporting of suicide events. MethodsZZData on suicide rates were obtained from the KNSO.

Pearson’s correlation test showed a significant positive correlation between the monthly number of media reports on suicide and the suicide rate (daily newspaper r=0.619, p<0.001 ; broadcast r=0.393, p<0.001). The number of suicide searches showed association with celebrity suicide events. ConclusionZZThe suicide rate may be influenced by the number of media reports on suicide events. Establishing guidelines for media reporting on these events could help to decrease the suicide rates.
