Reply to comment by GodBlessThisGhetto in Anti-transgender legislation associated with suicide-related Internet searches when the state had a high LGBT population density. by Respawan
Did you read about the study?
I'm not a scientist. I'm no expert. I also don't know if this was peer reviewed. I didn't read it was. But from what I read, yes they used the word suicide and depression for these numbers. And used them against searches for weather per region. So no, they did not account for search context.
This research seems lazy. I already know more gays and trans are suicidal under laws that are against them. But this study was fuckign stupid and poorly done.
