摘要： Purpose The impact of media reporting on copycat suicides has been well established in various cases of celebrity suicide. However, knowledge is limited about the spatial and temporal relationship between suicide death and media reporting over a long period of time. This study investigated the association of suicide deaths with suicide news in longitudinal and spatial dimensions. Methods All suicides during 2003–2010 ( n = 31,364) were included. Suicide news in the study period was retrieved from Google News, and included all available news media in Taiwan. Empirical mode decomposition was used to identify the main intrinsic oscillation, reflecting both major and minor suicide events, and time-dependent intrinsic correlation was used to quantify the temporal correlation between suicide deaths and suicide news. Results The media reporting of suicide was synchronized with increased suicide deaths during major suicide events such as celebrity death, and slightly lagged behind the suicide deaths for 1 month in other periods without notable celebrity deaths. The means of suicide reported in the media diversely affected the suicide models. Reports of charcoal burning suicide exhibited an exclusive copycat effect on actual charcoal burning deaths, whereas media reports of jumping had a wide association with various suicide models. Media reports of suicide had a higher association with suicide deaths in urban than in rural areas. Conclusions This report suggested that a delayed effect of copycat suicide may exist in media reports of minor suicide events. The competitive reporting of minor suicide events must be avoided and addressed by media professionals. 其他題名： Soc Psychiatry Psychiatr Epidemiol 出版者： Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag 出版日期： 2013-03-01 出處： Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, 2013-03, Vol.48 (3), p.427-435 資源來源： EBSCOhost Academic Search Premier 版權： Springer-Verlag 2012 版權： 2015 INIST-CNRS 版權： COPYRIGHT 2013 Springer 版權： Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013 識別號： ISSN: 0933-7954 識別號： ISSN: 1433-9285 識別號： EISSN: 1433-9285 識別號： DOI: 10.1007/s00127-012-0562-1 識別號： PMID: 22878833 識別號： CODEN: SPPEEM
