When Netflix premiered the show 13 Reasons Why, critics expressed concern that it would lead to susceptible teenagers committing suicide. And a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine indicates that those concerns were warranted. Researchers looked at Google Trends data from the show’s release on March 31 through April 18.

They found that following the show’s release, suicide-related internet searches went up by a whopping 19 percent. Specifically, searches for “how to commit suicide” climbed by 26 percent and “how to kill yourself” by nine percent.

On a more positive note, searches for “suicide precention” went up 23 percent and “suicide hotline number” rose 21 percent. Regardless, lead researcher John Ayers tells Global News that “the data shows that 13 Reasons Why isn’t fit for public health.”
