Abstract

In recent years, a general consensus has emerged regarding postvention activities in schools following completed suicides of teenagers. In this case study, standard postvention activities were carried out in a middle school after two youths from the same neighborhood committed suicide 3 months apart. Soon thereafter, a substantial increase in suicidal talk, threats, and attempts took place. Inadvertently, some of the postvention activities appeared to contribute to the romanticization and glorification of the deaths. Changes in postvention practices were made in order to defuse the atmosphere of "romantic tragedy," which in turn led to a decrease in suicidal behavior.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
