’13 Reasons Why’ Does Not Lead To More Teen Suicide: Showrunner Refutes Reports On Study

Brian Yorkey: “As the Los Angeles Times recently reported, a new study using Centers for Disease Control data claims to show a correlation between 13 Reasons Why and an increase in teen suicide. However, the research failed to substantiate the author’s own hypothesis. … [In fact,] the show’s positive impact has been observed in numerous independent pieces of research.” – The Hollywood Reporter
