No statistically significant differences were observed in the likelihood of people making future suicide queries (both generally and specific types of suicide queries) when comparing search engines in locations that display helpline notices versus ones that do not. Pages with higher rank, being neutral to suicide, and those shown among more antisuicide pages were more likely to be clicked on. Having more antisuicide Web pages displayed was the only factor associated with further searches for suicide prevention information (hazard=1.18,\u00a0<i>P<\/i>=.002).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusions:\u00a0<\/span>Helpline notices are not associated with harm. If they cause positive change in search behavior, it is small. This is possibly because of the variability in intent of users seeking suicide-related information. Nonetheless, helpline notice should be displayed, but more efforts should be made to improve the visibility and ranking of suicide prevention Web pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background:\u00a0Search engines display helpline notices when people query for suicide-related information.
