COLUMBUS, Ohio Teens and young adults are making use of social networking sites and mobile technology to express suicidal thoughts and intentions as well as to reach out for help, two studies suggest.
An analysis of about one month of public posts on MySpace revealed 64 comments in which adolescents expressed a wish to die. Researchers conducted a follow-up survey of young adults and found that text messages were the second-most common way for respondents to seek help when they felt depressed. Talking to a friend or family member ranked first.
These young adults also said they would be least likely to use suicide hotlines or online suicide support groups the most prevalent strategy among existing suicide-prevention initiatives.
The findings of the two studies suggest that suicide prevention and intervention efforts geared at teens and young adults should employ social networking and other types of technology, researchers say.
"Obviously this is a place where adolescents are expressing their feelings," said Scottye Cash, associate professor of social work at The Ohio State University and lead author of the studies. "It leads me to believe that we need to think about using social media as an intervention and as a way to connect with people."
The research team is in the process conducting a study similar to the MySpace analysis by examining young people's Twitter messages for suicidal content. The researchers would like to analyze Facebook, but too few of the profiles are public, Cash said.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youths between the ages of 10 and 24 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Cash and colleagues published the MySpace research in a recent issue of the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking. They presented the survey findings at a meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 25, 2013
Mobile users of the social and professional networking site, Veterans Together, have a new way to keep in touch with their community contacts. Developers of Veterans Together have released an iOS (iPad & iPhone) Veteran Mobile Application to supplement the website and keep users connected no matter where they are in the world. The iOS (iPad & iPhone) Veteran Mobile App is available for free download on iTunes at: http://goo.gl/jF6tT.
Veterans Together is a professional and social network for Veterans, current members of the military and their families. The site was designed not only as a fun social network but also as a way for Veterans to support one another after their time in the service has ended. To do so, the site encourages members to post jobs and resumes, classifieds, special events and other items of interest to members. There are discussion groups and forums on subjects ranging from the GI Bill and military benefits to retirement and reintegration into civilian life.
"Our whole goal for Veterans Together is to provide a way for ex-military personnel to support one another after their service time has ended. For example, there are Veterans who find it hard to adjust to civilian life but through Veterans Together, they've been able to find people who had similar experiences, connect with them and learn from them. The app makes it easier for members to stay connected and keep current with their contacts no matter where they are. They'll never miss a new discussion topic or message and can participate in the site from anywhere in the world," explained Colin Valencia, CEO of Veterans Together (http://Veteranstogether.com).
Features of the Veteran social network, which are all available via the iOS (iPad & iPhone) Veteran mobile application or the website, include:
Veterans Together is the most comprehensive social and Veteran professional network in the world. The network was designed by Veterans, for Veterans but it is open to all members of the military along with their spouses, family and friends. The social network site has many of the popular features from other social sites like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn, YouTube, Yelp.com and Monster.com. Sponsors, donations and member advertising help to support the site and 10% of its monthly profits go to Veteran assistance groups.
Interested parties can sign up at http://www.Veteranstogether.com. Once registered at the website, users can use the same login information on the iOS (iPad & iPhone) Veteran mobile app.
