Channel 10 News, Woman's Day, the Sydney Morning Herald, and the Daily Telegraph released details of the method used by singer Britney Spears in her reported suicide attempt. Research shows that listing suicide methods can increase suicide rates and copycat behaviour, especially where celebrities are concerned.

StigmaWatch contacted these media outlets on 5.3.07 and reminded them that reporting suicide methods is unsafe and has consequences for vulnerable people. All were urged to list helpline numbers in future.
