Maybe I missed it in the article, but did they check the Netflix viewing history of those that committed suicide. Seems like that would be a critical causal link. If a show about suicide is available on Netflix and no one is around to watch it...
- ggreer 7y agoThey did not. The CDC data on suicides only contains statistical information, not identities. And even if the researchers did have the identities of everyone who committed suicide, I doubt Netflix would share account data with them. It would also be very noisy as many teens use their parents' Netflix accounts.
- boomboomsubban 7y agoNo, all of the data is just taken from the standard CDC reports.
