Sorry jayswin I should have worded my post a little better. I’ve read studies similar to the one you posted and I’m not disputing their findings. However what I’ve found is that these types of studies only focus on the very short term implications of reporting suicides rather than looking at whether or not bringing more awareness to how prevalent the issue is would be more beneficial in addressing what is actually causing people to commit suicide and lowering suicide rates in the long run.
