| Abstract | Reading books and watching films were investigated as protective factors for serious suicidal ideation (SSI) in young people with low perceived social belonging. Cross-sectional and longitudinal (12-month) analyses were performed using data from a representative European sample of 3256 students from the “Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe” study. Low social belonging was associated to SSI. However, reading books and watching films moderated this association, especially for those with lowest levels of belonging. This was true both at baseline and at 12 months of follow-up analyses. These media may act as sources of social support or mental health literacy and thus reduce the suicide risk constituted by low sense of belonging. |

| Other plausible explanations may be that books and films work as an escape, or retreat from daily stressors 14 , and serve as a tool to develop better stress coping skills, through an increase in mental health literacy, by example how book and film characters handle different problems. . | Conclusions Books and films may act as sources of social support or mental health literacy and thus reduce the suicide risk constituted by low sense of belonging. . | These media may act as sources of social support or mental health literacy and thus reduce the suicide risk constituted by low sense of belonging.. |
