Teens today spend more time communicating online than ever before, yet we still know relatively little about how online interactions relate to emotional well-being and suicide risk. This study seeks to examine how texting, messaging, and social media use are associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors in adolescents. We will use interviews, questionnaires, and online social networking data to better understand patterns of communication and social connection that may be linked to suicide risk. The goal of this research is to improve our understanding of the factors that contribute to suicidal thoughts and behaviors in teens and ultimately help inform future prevention efforts.
