Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Mental health conditions and psychiatric disorders are among the leading causes of illness, disability, and death among young people around the globe. In the United States, teen suicide has increased by about 30% in the last decade. Raising awareness of warning signs and promoting access to mental health resources can help reduce suicide rates for at-risk youth. However, death by suicide remains a taboo topic for public discourse and societal intervention. An unconventional approach to address taboo topics in society is the use of popular media.
UNASSIGNED: We conducted a quantitative content analysis of mainstream news reporting on the controversial Netflix series 13 Reasons Why Season 1. Using a combination of top-down and bottom-up search strategies, our final sample consisted of 97 articles published between March 31 and May 31, 2017, from 16 media outlets in 3,150 sentences. We systematically examined the news framing in these articles in terms of content and valence, the salience of health/social issue related frames, and their compliance with the WHO guidelines.
UNASSIGNED: Nearly a third of the content directly addressed issues of our interest: 61.6% was about suicide and 38.4% was about depression, bullying, sexual assault, and other related health/social issues; it was more negative (42.8%) than positive (17.4%). The criticism focused on the risk of suicide contagion, glamorizing teen suicide, and the portrayal of parents and educators as indifferent and incompetent. The praise was about the show raising awareness of real and difficult issues young people struggle with in their everyday life and serving as a conversation starter to spur meaningful discussions. Our evaluation of WHO guideline compliance for reporting on suicide yielded mixed results. Although we found recommended practices across all major categories, they were minimal and could be improved.
UNASSIGNED: Despite their well intentions and best efforts, the 13 Reasons Why production team missed several critical opportunities to be better prepared and more effective in creating social impact entertainment and fostering difficult dialogs. There is an urgent need to train news reporters about established health communication guidelines and promote best practices in media reporting on sensitive topics such as suicide.

摘要：
精神健康状况和精神疾病是导致疾病的主要原因，残疾,以及全球年轻人的死亡。在美国,青少年自杀在过去十年增加了约30%。提高对警告信号的认识和促进获得精神卫生资源有助于降低高危青年的自杀率。然而,自杀死亡仍然是公共话语和社会干预的禁忌话题。解决社会禁忌话题的一种非常规方法是使用大众媒体。
■我们对备受争议的Netflix系列《第一季的13个原因》进行了主流新闻报道的定量内容分析。使用自上而下和自下而上的组合搜索策略，我们的最终样本包含2017年3月31日至5月31日发表的来自16家媒体的97篇文章,共3,150个句子.我们从内容和效价方面系统地研究了这些文章中的新闻框架，健康/社会问题相关框架的显著性，以及他们对世卫组织准则的遵守情况。
近三分之一的内容直接解决了我们感兴趣的问题：61.6％与自杀有关，38.4％与抑郁症有关，欺凌,性侵犯,和其他相关的健康/社会问题；负面（42.8％）多于正面（17.4％）。批评集中在自杀传染的风险上，美化青少年自杀，以及父母和教育工作者冷漠无能的形象。赞誉是关于该节目提高了人们对年轻人在日常生活中挣扎的现实和困难问题的认识，并作为对话的开始，以促进有意义的讨论。我们对世卫组织自杀报告指南合规性的评估产生了不同的结果。虽然我们发现所有主要类别的推荐做法，他们是最小的，可以改进。
■尽管他们的意图和最大的努力，制作团队错过了几个关键机会的13个原因，以便更好地做好准备，更有效地创造社会影响力娱乐和促进困难的对话。迫切需要对新闻记者进行有关既定健康传播准则的培训，并在自杀等敏感话题上推广媒体报道的最佳做法。
