However, the authors believe that the conclusions may be largely the same, if the search procedure was amended, so this may not be as serious limitation as one may think. One of the inclusion criteria for the current systematic review was that the study should be based on non-fictional media portrayal of suicidal behaviours, as the influence of fictional suicide stories presented in the media has been found more controversial [19]. However, the research on the description of portrayals of suicide not just in the news, but also in the movies might be of great interest. To the extent that portrayals of suicide in the cinema are inaccurate, they can contribute to public misunderstandings of the nature of suicide and hurt the development of effective suicide prevention programs. Given that people spend more time watching movies than any other leisure time pursuit, it is important to develop and apply suicide guidelines for film. Suicides in film are generally insistent with media guidelines and, for example, give graphic details on suicide methods, depict the actual, often bloody, suicide act in progress, and de-emphasize mental illness risk factors in suicides [83].
