ResultsPooling across tools, most of the responses (79%), encouraged the user to seek help and were empathic in nature. See Table 2 and S1 Table for full results. However, only 24% of the responses included a crisis hotline number and only 4% (k = 6) of the responses included content consistent with evidence-based suicide prevention interventions. Very few (11%) of responses asked the user a follow-up question (e.g., “Would you like some guidance on finding someone to talk to?”).
