The Valuer Effect and the Suicide Rate

In 1974, a sociologist named David Phillips does this study where he compares suicide rates in the country to highly publicized suicides. He sees this absolute correlation between the suicide rates go up when there's a highly publicized suicide. And one of the notable examples that's in there is Marilyn Monroe, who died by suicide. There has been some debunking studies done that there was any copycat crisis after Werther at all besides this one woman because there haven't actually been other confirmed cases.
