OBJECTIVE
This study examined data on acute (i.e., within 30 days) increases in suicides, help and information seeking, and service capacity after a celebrity suicide.
METHODS
Daily suicide data, call volume to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL), and visits to two suicide prevention Web sites before and after entertainer Robin Williams' death on August 11, 2014, were examined.
RESULTS
Before August 11 in 2012, 2013, and 2014, daily suicide deaths averaged between 113 and 117; in 2014, the count increased to 142, an increase not observed in 2012 and 2013. The number of calls to the NSPL rose by up to 300%, but answered calls decreased from an average of 71% to 57%. Visits to both Web sites also increased dramatically.
CONCLUSIONS
Dramatic increases in all three measured outcomes in the days after a celebrity suicide were noted, suggesting the need for contingency plans to meet immediate increased demand.
目的
本研究调查了名人自杀后 30 天内自杀、寻求帮助和信息以及服务能力的急性（即 30 天内）增加的数据。
方法
在 2014 年 8 月 11 日艺人罗宾·威廉姆斯去世前后，每天检查自杀数据、国家自杀预防生命线（NSPL）的呼叫量以及两个自杀预防网站的访问量。
结果
在 2012 年、2013 年和 2014 年的 8 月 11 日之前，每日自杀死亡人数平均在 113 到 117 之间；2014 年，这一数字增加到 142，而 2012 年和 2013 年没有观察到这一数字。NSPL 的呼叫量增加了多达 300%，但接听电话的比例从平均 71%下降到 57%。两个网站的访问量也急剧增加。
结论
在名人自杀后的几天内，所有三个测量结果都显著增加，这表明需要制定应急计划以满足即时增加的需求。
