Title: | How Many People Are Exposed to Suicide? Not Six | Contributor(s): | Cerel, Julie (author); Brown, Margaret M (author); Maple, Myfanwy (author) ; Singleton, Michael (author); van de Venne, Judy (author); Moore, Melinda (author); Flaherty, Chris (author) | Publication Date: | 2019-04 | Early Online Version: | 2018-03-07 | DOI: | 10.1111/sltb.12450 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/26548 | Abstract: | It has long been stated that six people are left behind following every suicide. Despite a lack of empirical evidence, this has been extensively cited for over 30 years. Using data from a random-digit dial survey, a more accurate number of people exposed to each suicide is calculated. A sample of 1,736 adults included 812 lifetime suicide-exposed respondents who reported age and number of exposures. Each suicide resulted in 135 people exposed (knew the person). Each suicide affects a large circle of people, who may be in need of clinician services or support following exposure. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 49(2), p. 529-534 | Publisher: | John Wiley & Sons, Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1943-278X 0363-0234 |
