1	Finding Out on Facebook: a Qualitative Analysis of Adolescents’ Experiences Following a Suicide Cluster Heffel, Carly J. 08 1900 (has links) Suicide clusters have been identified in many populations; however, research exploring the role of online communication in the aftermath of a suicide cluster is extremely limited. This study used the Consensual Qualitative Research method to analyze interviews of ten high school students following a suicide cluster in a small suburban school district. Interviewee’s responses were organized into 4 domains: the suicide, impact, perceptions of school environment, and recovery. The role of social networking emerged as a common theme across domains, suggesting broad relevance to adolescents’ experience following the suicide of a peer. Implications for clinical intervention and research are discussed. adolescent grief suicide suicide cluster social networking qualitative Social media. Suicide. Facebook (Electronic resource)
