Abstract

High suicide rates are a major issue in Spain, to the extent that they are the main non-natural cause of death in this country. The present study analyses the relationship between Internet searches and actual suicide rates in Spain. For this purpose, we employ data from actual suicide rates and Google® searches for Spain, differencing by the means used to commit suicide. Our results show that suicide ("suicidio") search term seems to be positively associated with higher total suicide rates, in addition to suicides using poison, suffocation and jumping. The suicide ("suicidio") topic presents similar results to the suicide search term, and suicide by car crash also seems to be associated with Internet searches of this topic.

互联网搜索与西班牙实际自杀的关联。
高自杀率是西班牙的一个主要问题,因为自杀率是该国主要的非自然死亡原因。本研究分析了互联网搜索与西班牙实际自杀率之间的关系。为此,我们使用了来自西班牙实际自杀率和谷歌®搜索的数据,通过自杀手段进行区分。我们的研究结果表明,除了使用毒药、窒息和跳跃自杀外,自杀(“suicidio”)搜索词似乎与更高的总自杀率呈正相关。自杀(“suicidio”)主题呈现出与自杀搜索词相似的结果,车祸自杀似乎也与该主题的互联网搜索有关。
