Purpose: Internet is one of the essential tools in South Korean adolescent life Recently researchers suggest that Internet use is positively associated with teens mental health problems such as depression and suicide Thus this study explored a relationship between Internet use and suicide ideation among South Korean adolescents
Methods: Secondary data the three-wave Korean Youth Panel Survey were analyzed First in terms of the levels of Internet use and suicidal ideation t-test was used for examining a gender difference and Analysis of Variance were used for examining differences across three points in time(waves 2-4) Second, logistic analysis was performed to examine the significant association between Internet use and suicide ideation after controlling for the other factors’ effects In this analysis Fixed Effect Regression Method(FERM) was incorporated as well FERM was useful in adjusting for the effects of time-invariant factors even without measuring them. As a result it was possible to obtain more accurate findings
Results: Adolescent depression was an important factor influencing the association between Internet use and suicide ideation. After controlling for the effect of depression, the relationship between Internet use and suicide ideation was no longer statistically significant.
Conclusion: As a proxy to identify teens who are obsessed with suicide ideation levels of Internet use do not seem useful. Instead, it is necessary to examine teens access to websites related to suicide.
