N2  - OBJECTIVEs@#ZZThe purpose of this study is to investigate the interest level, perception and attitude of suicide high-risk group towardthe media's suicide report, and also to provide the fundamental data in order to strengthen both the standard and the recommendationof media coverage in Korea. @*Methods@#ZZWe analyzed the data from the 2013 The Korea National Suicide Survey. The study included 1500 participants aged between19 and 75 years. The participants were selected through the regional multi-layer stratification method using the sampling frameof the 2010 Census. One-on-one face-to-face interviews investigated the interest level, opinions, and attitudes toward suicide reportsand collected data on past suicide history and demographic data. The collected data were evaluated using multiple logistic regressionanalysis. A probability level of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. @*Results@#ZZThe suicide high risk groups with histories of suicidal ideations or attempts showed more interest in suicidal reports [suicidalthought odds ratio (OR) = 1.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.40-2.34 ; suicidal attempt OR = 3.21, 95% Cl = 1.52-6.78]. However,there was no difference among the groups in thought that suicide reports incite suicide (suicidal thought OR = 1.26, 95% Cl = 0.92-1.73 ; suicidal attempt OR = 0.96, 95% Cl = 0.44-2.09). The suicide high risk groups showed a positive attitude toward suicide reports,but it was not statistically significant (suicidal thought OR = 1.10, 95% Cl = 0.41-2.92 ; suicidal attempt OR = 1.10, 95% Cl = 0.76-1.59). @*Conclusions@#ZZWe suggest the need of careful attitude of media suicidal reports not to bring about copycat suicides. and also we offersuicide prevention campaign based on media leverage.<p /> <p>Language: ko</p>
