Recent{{when}} research<ref>{{cite journal|title=Emotional first aid for a suicide crisis: comparison between Telephonic hotline and internet. |date=2015-09-28 |pmid=17492908 | doi=10.1521/psyc.2007.70.1.12 |volume=70 |journal=Psychiatry |pages=12-8 | last1 = Gilat | first1 = I | last2 = Shahar | first2 = G}}</ref> shows that suicide websites indeed could be more efficient in providing emotional help for people contemplating suicide than suicide hotlines. Primary reasons are asynchronous nature of discussion in newsgroups giving enough time for thoughtful response and group-based discussion that suicidal people find reassuring. High degree of anonymity is another advantage of newsgroups like a.s.h, allowing people to openly talk about their feelings without fear of consequences.
UK Byron Review for 2008,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dfes.gov.uk/byronreview/ |title=UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) - GOV.UK |website=Dfes.gov.uk |date= |accessdate=2016-06-04}}</ref> analyzing effects of websites on children, says that "research looking at pro-suicide sites has had mixed results. Some studies report high degrees of emotional and social support by these sites, particularly on sites where the methods of suicide were not discussed. More studies like this are needed to begin to understand the impact of such sites on those who spontaneously choose to access them."
