Suicide is a leading cause of death among youth, and media depictions of suicidal behavior may be a contributing risk factor. Researchers have hypothesized that exposure to publicly available, explicit and graphic depictions of self-harm may be a risk for self-harm and suicide in vulnerable audiences. This was tested using a two-wave US panel survey among young adults. Exposure to self-harm on Instagram prospectively predicted self-harm, emotional disturbance, and suicide ideation, even after controlling for exposure to other sources with similar content. These findings suggest that such exposure can lead to contagion in vulnerable users. Implications are discussed.
