An Analysis Of The Quality And Accessibility Of Suicide Information Available To The Romanian-Speaking User
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
As the potential impact of Internet use on suicidal behaviour is currently under questioned, experts have yet not conclusively ruled on the extent of this problem. At the moment, no one really knows what kind of information is exposed to a disturbed individual while surfing the web, nor how difficult is for a typical Romanian Internet user to find suicide-related information. Hence, this paper aims to initiate a discussion on some basic issues related to the quality and accessibility of suicide-related information available to the Romanian-speaking user, as a prerequisite in harnessing the potential offered by Internet technologies in prevention, but also intervention in suicide-related cases.
